Jfk, Conservative by Ira Stoll

Jfk, Conservative by Ira Stoll

America, meet the real John F. Kennedy. Washington Times
John F. Kennedy is lionized by liberals. He inspired Lyndon Johnson to push Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act. His New Frontier promised increased spending on education and medical care for the elderly. He inspired Bill Clinton to go into politics. His champions insist he would have done great liberal things had he not been killed by Lee Harvey Oswald.
But what if we ve been looking at him all wrong? Indeed, JFK had more in common with Ronald Reagan than with LBJ. After all, JFK s two great causes were anticommunism and tax cuts. His tax cuts, domestic spending restraint, military buildup, pro-growth economic policy, emphasis on free trade and a strong dollar, and foreign policy driven by the idea that America had a God-given mission to defend freedom all make him, by the standards of both his time and our own, a conservative. This widely debated book is must reading for conservatives and liberals alike.
Provocative and compelling . . . Ira Stoll has succeeded in changing our very perception of Kennedy as one of liberalism s heroes. Weekly Standard
An informative analysis of the ways in which JFK did indeed evince his conservative side he was very religious, open to a free market unencumbered by governmental interference, and staunchly anti-Communist. Publishers Weekly
