Can you just picture a modern-day "democrat" saying the following:
Quote:
|
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
|
or:
Quote:
|
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
|
or, perhaps:
Quote:
|
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

All from JFK.
