Comments on: JFK’s Dream Did Not Die With Him http://www.pietyhilldesign.com/blog/2006/09/28/jfks-dream-did-not-die-with-him/ Where Faith, Opinion, Design and Technology Collide Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:55:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: PietyHill Press » Blog Archive » Free Tibet! of Their Unique Culture and Identity http://www.pietyhilldesign.com/blog/2006/09/28/jfks-dream-did-not-die-with-him/#comment-6117 PietyHill Press » Blog Archive » Free Tibet! of Their Unique Culture and Identity Sat, 27 Jan 2007 19:55:38 +0000 http://www.pietyhilldesign.com/blog/2006/09/28/jfks-dream-did-not-die-with-him/#comment-6117 [...] I read this substantive, relevant article in, of all places, that creaky ol’ Rolling Stone Magazine. The writer puts the spotlight on China’s new, innovative and virtually unstoppable Chinafication strategy in Tibet, expected to wipe out the last traces of traditional culture there in fairly short order. So, you can peel the Free Tibet! bumper sticker off of your Subaru or bio-diesel Mercedes, because the war has been lost — it’s time to shift your “compassion-of-the-month-club” energy to some other lost cause. But, don’t even think about Darfur or the Congo or any other hellhole on earth, where people are committing genocide, fratricide or even polka-cide, for that matter. The people of the US are fed up with such high falootin’, JFK fantasies about “making the world a better place” and, as everyone knows, “if the US won’t go, nobody will go (read UN, NATO, SATO, etc).” I suppose the world community could whip out some sanctions or something… that’s been real effective with Iran, North Korea, China… oops. No, the fact of the matter is that socialists and progressives in those countries will do whatever it takes to subjugate and rule the masses, just like they will in the US.

BY the way, I like your new color in the title--I didn't like the blue. I love your profile pic too.

I had a lot of fun with Photoshop, creating the morph of JFK to Bush. P.S. I had a lot of fun with Photoshop, creating the morph of JFK to Bush.

You are right about Bush, I think. Their personalities are similar in some ways and it's good to remember that, even though Bush grew up in Texas, he's from New England stock. But, the Kennedy's had a different, more exciting family dynamic. Kennedy brought together the Washington scene, the pop culture and Irish Catholic values, with a little bit of Boston thrown in. What a mix and sure to appeal to a broad audience. Bush has some odd speech patterns (can't put my finger on it) and I think his father did, too. He's not comfortable to listen to. With that said, I can't think of many people in politics I do enjoy listening to and I've thought about that a lot. I think Bill Clinton was good, in that he came across as very relaxed and conversational. I think I'll blog about this later. Thanks, Sadie. You are right about Bush, I think.

This is a really well thought out post, Bo. I enjoyed reading it. I have to say that Bush lacks the personality that JFK had. For some reason that I can't quite put my finger on--Bush bothers me when he gives a speech. I don't know why. Peter Pan syndrome. *nodding head* That makes a lot of sense.
