JFK’s Corporatist and Imperialist Presidency
Part 4: The Drug War, Civil Rights, Civil Liberties, and Space
by Burkely Hermann / November 4th, 2013

Part One of this series discussed the intricacies JFK’s presidential cabinet and a brief background of JFK. Then, Part Two addressed how the Kennedy Administration, while not being liked by the whole business community, pushed forward proposals that benefited international capital such as GATT and the Kennedy Tax Cuts. Part Three talked about how JFK’s anti-communist view of the world influenced his support for right-wing dictators, allowing assassinations and much more. The final installment of this series, Part Four, will conclude by talking about how JFK dealt with social issues such as civil rights, civil liberties and much more.

I was 13 when JFK was elected, and I was enthralled - Camelot, pretty wife, cute baby, etc...I was 13. I grew up. Any historical exploration will show that JFK was a politician like every other politician.
