JFK's Inauguration Speech (VIDEO)

"Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

The historic words spoken by John F. Kennedy during his only inaugural address (see photos from it here) still seem to resonate 50 years later.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the January 20, 1961 speech, the only one the President would deliver. While many books have been written about his legacy, few people (or Presidents) have been able to generate the same patriotism and pride as JFK did during his time in office prior to his assassination.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy's historic speech and famous words can be seen and heard below.

Kennedy was a fraud, pure and simple, as I have discussed in an article entitled, "John F. Kennedy: The Most Despicable President In American History."

The problem is that the Kennedy family members and sycophants have been burying the truth since his assassination, and it needs to be told. When he died, his “image” was frozen in time, but the truth is grotesque. To lionize him like his sycophants have done is a crime, and unconscionable.

The latest travesty is Caroline Kennedy's successful distortion of the truth by forcing the History Channel to drop its already-completed min-series about Kennedy and his wife, starring Katie Holmes and Greg Kinnear.
