Question by Janice: President John Kennedy in his inaugural speech said "ask not what your country can do for you ask what you? can do for your country". He was a fiscal conservative and a strong supporter of the military. How is it that the democrats have changed so much since that speech and that man? Best answer for President John Kennedy in his inaugural speech said "ask not what your country can do for you ask what you?:

Answer by Ou812 the hate returns pt2
Because John was an American first. I really think Teddy was the mail mans son since there is no way they were cut from the same cloth. I can see it now Joe's "little men" running down her leg with the postman sneaking in the backdoor to make Teddy.

Answer by rayb1214
Increased pressure from the extreme left and liberal agenda, coupled with a president that is obviously well studied on the ways of the Nazi's.

Answer by fangtaiyang
The Democratic Party has not changed in position or policy since JFK. It is the party of service to the public and to the nation. The Republican Party has sought to cast itself in the same image, never actually doing it.

Answer by will work for food
The Democratic party of JFK's day is the Republican party of today. The Dem's have gone so far overboard to the left today they may as well be considered Communist.

Answer by Jim W
The Democrats haven't changed that much. Like much of the country, they have drifted away from liberal ideals toward centrist politics. On the other hand, due to pressure from fundamentali st Christians, the Republican party has drifted toward reactionary politics in order to appeal to the "conservative" wing. However both parties are led by essentially centrist leaders, and although there are elements that speak to the extremists on either side, the country is led by people that agree on at least 90% of the issues. The liberal and conservative labels are really just propaganda labels thrown at the other party like they were pejorative epithets. Neither party pays anything more than lip service to those labels.
