Perry later accused Obama of being America's "greatest threat" who caused "black cloud" hanging over country. (He used "dark cloud" at stadium "revival")
. Regarding "ugly treatment,
" did he mean Kennedy's assassinat
ion and standing ovation it received in Texas?
Perry's book portrays only GOOD Government spending is military, social spending as compromisi
ng national-s
ecurity, various treaties as treasonous
. But Kennedy faced similar types, e.g., right-wing military fanatics linked to religious extremists
, uber-hawks like Barry Goldwater, militants in Texas and others advocating nuclear strike against the Soviets. Air-force Chief-of-S
taff, General Curtis LeMay talked military coup, General Edwin Walker alleged Secretary of State was communist, Ayn Rand publicly portrayed Kennedy as Hitler and administra
tion as fascist.
So Kennedy helped the film, "Seven Days in May" get made to raise country’s awareness to threat. Burt Lancaster played charismati
c Air-Force General Scott (composite of LeMay and Walker), who believes he's divinely ordained to lead coup against President he portrays as America's "greatest threat," and that public wants somebody who "loves America"..
.
There's an eerie resemblanc
