President John F. Kennedy on Progressive Extremism

 Here's what President Kennedy would say about the people who are tearing down statues and rioting in the streets. And I 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.”

“What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents.”

John F. Kennedy

Protest is one thing--physical violence is quite another. 

Not agreeing with another person is one thing--not allowing the other to speak is quite another. 

Passionate disapproval of other's views is one thing--censorship is quite another.

Calling someone out for their meme bundles is one thing--lying about what their meme bundle says is another.

Standing up for righteousness and justice is one thing--rank hypocrisy is another.

While I may earnestly disagree with your views and your opinions--my lying about what You think and misrepresenting objective facts is quite another.

I have no doubt that President Kennedy would be appalled at the current state of his Party.
