The Decline of the American Civilization

[Papasito]

Who said this: ??

We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom — symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning — signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three quarters ago.

The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe — the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

Some radical Right Wing Republican?
A bigot? A bible pusher?
One of those God lovers pushing their faith on you?

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

What's this?
A leader who expresses Americans should be great and not depend on Government for every little thing?
What is this madness?

What this is is portions of John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961. By today's standards he would be considered a Right Wing Radical, but in reality he was our last American President who was able to make his own decisions, and gave his life for for having the audacity to do so.
