I attended college in Boston, but a friend of mine told me that growing up in Florida, his teachers called the Civil War the "war of Northern aggression." When I read news articles about school curricula that demonize Lincoln and deny slavery's status as the cause of the Civil War, I was quite surprised, since the positive portrayal of Lincoln and the Union that I was taught was never questioned in Massachusetts. One of my ancestors was a Massachusetts Volunteer who was wounded in the Civil War. The Union forever!

In surveys of historians, John F. Kennedy is usually ranked as one of the top 10 presidents. Polls of the general public rank him as one of the best post-WWII presidents. The Kennedy Center, America's cultural center, is named after him. Based on all these things, you'd think that JFK was a good president. Not the greatest of all time by any means, but a solid president.

WRONG!!!! All of us here on Reddit, the Athens of the internet, can agree that JFK IS OVERRATED!!!! Overratted I tell you! Overatted!

People think JFK was a good president because he got us to the Moon. RONG!!! The Moon landing happened on July 20, 1969. Who was president on July 20, 1969? Nixon! That's right, Nixon got us to the Moon. Nixon the Great single-handedly flew that NASA spaceship all the way to the Moon and planted the American flag on its rocky surface. He only let Neil Armstrong take the credit because he was such a nice guy. Nicer than Fred Rogers! Nixon would be ranked as one of the top five presidents if not for those meddling psuedojournalists Woodward and Bernstein. Nixon did more for the environment than the Lorax and Smokey Bear combined. He was an innocent victim of liberal propaganda, a spotless lamb, pure as the driven snow. Nixon did nothing wrong! JFK IS OVVERATED!

Kennedy was such a wimp. He let the commies build the Berlin Wall! He practically laid the brick and mortar himself! You know who should've been president in 1961? Ronald Reagan. "Ronald Reagan, the actor?!," some of you might ask, incredulously. Yes, Ronald Reagan: the actor. Had Reagan been president, he would've taken up his lightsaber and cut the Berlin Wall in half like Obi-Wan Kenobi! What's that you say, cutting the Berlin Wall in half would've meant nuclear war? Big deal! You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. All America had to do was cut the wall in half like Obi-Wan Kenobi, launch a nuclear first strike against the commies, then let fallout take care of the rest. We could've won the Cold War right then and there. But nope, Kennedy was a chicken and he settled for keeping West Berlin out of Soviet hands. He did the same thing all over again in Cuba: he made a deal with the Russians when he should've attacked! COWARD!!! TRAYTOR!!! OAHVERATED!!!!!

I know that all the bleeding heart liberals are going to start coming out of the woodwork to defend Kennedy. They love him cause he helped create hippie dream projects like USAID, the UN World Food Programme, and the Peace Corps. IDEOTS!!!! Why do my hard-earned tax dollars have to support starving peasants in foreign countries? If those people starve, it's cause they're too lazy to get off the couch and work for a living. JFK was rich, he had so much money he could've bought out Bruce Wayne, another bleeding heart. Why didn't JFK just cut a fat check to help the starving peasants? It's the same reason he brought back food stamps: he was too selfish to use his money, instead he forced other people to pay. SELFISH!!!! OVERAYTED!!!   

Some very stupid people like JFK because they think he supported civil rights. IMBELICLES!!!! JFK did nothing for civil rights. What's that? He created affirmative action? He proposed the 24th Amendment? He integrated Southern universities? WRONG!!!! JFK used his mutant powers of telekinesis to make people think he did those things! That's why Magneto tried to save him, JFK was a mutant! I don't care that JFK proposed the Civil Rights Act, that bill never would've passed if he hadn't been killed NEVER!!! The Civil Rights Movement would've just sat on its hands and let segregation continue until the end of time. Don't believe me? Ask scholar and philosopher Stephen King, known for classic works of history such as Maximum Overdrive and the TV remake of The Shining. He says that if JFK hadn't been killed, then segregation would never have ended! NEVER!!!!!

Now, there's a very annoying lawyer named u/American_Citizen41 who thinks he can prove that JFK was a good president by using my least favorite subject in high school: science. BORING!!!!! u/American_Citizen41 says the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty prevented millions of people from getting cancer as a result of nuclear weapons testing. WRONG!!!! You know who invented the atomic bomb? JFK!!!! He plagiarized a study discovering you could split the atom, stole all the credit so he could lead the Manhattan Project, and then built up our nuclear weapons so he could sign the treaty and portray himself as a man of peace. Say it with me everyone, JFK IS OVEERATTED!!!!!
