JFK???? He didn't due much right when he was president 50 years ago... why would you think he could do better now? I guess if you count the bay of pigs a success then hell why not.



I had an odd thought... I'd say Jesus because I'm curious, but if Jesus came back in modern times I think that would signal the end of man kind.

What the free world needs (for a lot longer than one day) is Dwight David Eisenhower,a man who knew how to fight and win a world war against a vicious and deranged fascist enemy.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but he never existed. No records from historians at that time ever cited him at all. You can believe in the folk tale, but he was never reality. Just a figment of imagination.

Hopefully he isn't found in Berkeley as nobody would take him seriously.

That's your opinion but it's a pretty common view for even non religious historians to agree that he was a person and did walk the earth. It's the divinity that people disagree on.

But that's besides the point and really not a topic for this thread. So get off your soap box and let the thread go on. I've heard your views on this already and really don't need to again.

Fisrt thing I thought of when I read this thread was also to bring back my mother.

But I'm guessing we're talking about history type folks here so it's tough to say.

I'd like to say something like Ab Lincoln or MLKjr so they can see what has happened with equal rights and maybe do some good now.
