On the great leaders...

So today's the anniversary of Kennedy's assassination.  Let me start by saying that for a long time I looked into and was ready to believe conspiracies about what really happened, who was responsible, hoping we'd finally get the truth, etc etc.  (Oliver Stone's JFK as the cartoonish example.)  As an older man I see that it's really ultimately not important whose idea it was, who did it, was Oswald acting alone or with others, the significance of all this really is dwarfed by the significance of the actual event itself.

Also I'm hearing negative shit about Kennedy on the anniversary.  I had to stop reading this stupid Slate article "Kennedy-shaming" (sorry), i.e. blaming him because hey, he was trying to have the CIA kill Fidel Castro, man!!  So really he's the villain!!  HAHA!!  What a bunch of short-sighted morons.  I'm defriending Slate.  Right now.

OK.  Done.

So.  Maybe Kennedy could have gotten more accomplished.  Maybe he could have done more to get us out of Vietnam before it became a full-scale war.  Maybe he could have handled the Cuban Missile Crisis better.  I don't know.  Probably no one knows.  What we have to respect is that these were impossibly difficult problems to confront, life-or-death-of-the-world-problems, and how could a human being be expected to know the right answer?

But this is true in life in general.  We don't know what the right decision is ahead of time.  We just have to decide as best as we can and live with the consequences.  Unfortunately JFK did not live to see the results of his decisions, or get to complete an entire term of Presidential decisions.

On to today.  We've got these so called leaders, who their best accomplishment is criticizing the president for the healthcare website not working perfectly right away, here's a Bill O'Reilly quote to give you the pure form of the bullshit: "I think his presidency is crashing and burning."

THE WHOLE POINT OF THE FUCKING PROGRAM IS SO THAT POOR PEOPLE CAN GET FUCKING HEALTH CARE!

So let's be real fucking heroes and just devote all of our energy to trying to sabotage it.  And misleading people about what it is, does, will do, and so forth.  I ask myself, what could be the motivation for doing this other than trying to help poor and working poor people?  How can these assholes paint this as bad, and themselves as the heroes for trying to stop this devastating piece of legislation from being enacted!

Oh.  Well Obama wants to take control of the whole country, of course.  Comrade Obama wants to make all of your decisions for you.  He wants to give the United Nations the power to make decisions for us.  He wants to take away your guns.

By the way:   ALL OF THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT AND ONLY A FUCKING IDIOT WOULD BELIEVE IT!!!

On the bright side, I just read an article about how they're well on the way to fixing the website, and enrollment is increasing dramatically.  So, when it's running like a top, what are they going to go back to, Benghazi?

These fucking assholes.

True leadership is trying to help EVERYONE prosper, from the bottom to the top.  And guess what?  Rich people didn't get rich by giving their money to poor people.  It's really fucking simple.  The only defense these people with no resources have is the government.  And it's the task of these fucking monsters to get the average person to believe that the wealthy are "job creators" and all good things come from them and blah blah blah blah.  What a fucking hoax.  And you'd have to be dumb as dirt not to see it.  So if you're a Republican - FUCK YOU!!!  And if you're a conservative voter... FUCK YOU, IDIOT!  Or selfish asshole!!!

Leaders do things to help those they are leading.  They don't sabotage attempts to do so.  Kennedy tried to help powerless and voiceless people in this country get a chance at prosperity.  Oswald and/or his conspirators sabotaged him and sabotaged America.  And these fucking Ted Cruz and John Boehner motherfuckers are doing the same.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

What has the GOP done for this country in the last 50 years?  Ask yourself that.  And if you have a good answer then please by all means let me hear it.
