Modern era Democrats hold 20th century Democrats with high esteem, often giving praise to leaders such as [[John F. Kennedy]]. However, the ideals the old Democrats contrast differently with today's new Democrats. Kennedy's inaugural address "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, to assure the survival and the success of liberty." Contrast that with the New Democrats position that we shall not pay any price or bear any burden in Iraq. That liberty and [[Democracy]] should not be spread to other countries that are America's foes. Also, that the rights of American's held by our constitution does not apply to those children in the womb.
