“If by a ‘Liberal’ they mean
someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who
welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who
cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their
housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights,
and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can
break through the stalemate and suspicions
that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean
by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.'”John F. Kennedy, Democrat
