It means JFK was the last smart Dem.
Today's Dem's want to give everything away to get votes: Health care, welfare, 401K matched funds, amnesty, education, etc. & all on the tax payers money, it's a disgrace!
How about doing for one's self? Not in the Dem's eyes...they want to provide it all for anyones vote!

Give of yourself to make this a better country. Work hard to do right. Help others in need. Fight to protect what this country really stands for.

Kennedy was preparing the way for the Peace Corps and volunteer organizations so that patriotic people could serve their country without joining the military.

Hey, I rather enjoy kicking back and living the good life as a leech, sucking on the countries entitlement teets. more of you should try it, and then you may change your mind about Hillary, Nancy, and Harry.

Think about your country first and serve it rather than have you figure out what your country owes you because you are victim of this or that.

Today, it means nothing. Not a thing. If the statement isn't self explanatory, we got more problems than ever.

It means just what it says. And the truly ironic thing about it is that it came from a democrat! *sigh* Different era, different mindset/caliber of citizen.
