Profiles in Courage, 2024
By Lynne Lechter
In 1956, then Senator John F. Kennedy purportedly wrote a book entitled Profiles in Courage which won a Pulitzer Prize due, in large part, to the advocacy of his powerful father.
Kennedy wrote about eight senators who had defied their political party’s platform and followed their consciences instead, consequences be damned. Controversy remains as to who actually ghost wrote the book, but Kennedy never gave credit to any other contributor.
Much has been bruited about the now defunct presidential candidacy of Robert F Kennedy, Jr. and the thuggish behavior of the Democrat Party to which he had originally been aligned. But the Democrats displayed an evil intent far graver than their attempts to keep him off various state ballots and now, ironically, refusing to drop his name from those ballots.
As the son of an assassinated presidential candidate and the nephew of an assassinated president, that the Democrat party refused to give presidential candidate RFK, Jr. security until President Trump was almost assassinated is astonishing. Were they hoping history would repeat itself? Where was their empathy? Where, indeed.
