Clean air act does no good here in Texas--Mexican coal plants right across the border send pollution north on prevailing winds. Another government intrusion that is at best ineffective.

I wouldn't compare JFK to today's Democrats. Today, JFK would be a Republican.
Did JFK believe in social welfare.... 'Ask not we your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country'.
Fiscal conservative.... Largest tax cut in U.S. history resulting in more revenues to the Government.
Strong on National Security... Cuban Missile crises....
Sounds like a Conservative, not a Liberal.

Does the hot air and CO2 coming out of your mouth constitute a violation of it?
