Answer 4

I don't think that Kennedy meant for that statement to be narrowed into such slim categories.

Answer 5

if i had to guess ...kennedy was liberal.

Answer 6

I would say conservative by todays standards. The quotation was made by John F. Kennedy, a democrat President, however, Republican and Democratic policies of that era were very different then they were today. Many democratic presidents made conservative movements, and many republicans made liberal movements (by todays standards.)
