What happened to THIS Democratic Party?

What happened to the Democratic party of the JFK era. He stood up against communism, cut taxes and said this famous line....


And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.

Where is THAT Democratic party? It seems everyone now a days has their hands out asking what Uncle Sugar can give them...gimme free health care, gimme money, gimme a job, gimme a higher minimum wage, gimme gimme gimme.....That's a problem.

I also found this line in the speech....

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
