#1 This theme continued into the tearing down of the Berlin Wall era. The biggest mistake made during that 2-3 year period - the biggest dropping of the ball of Bush I - was to blow the opportunity to discredit all forms of socialism in the same fashion that Nazism was discredited at the end of WWII.

Yes, the campus and infotainment left would have howled, but a bigger, better man would have used the bully pulpit to great effect, basically saying that a movement (collectivism) whose evil was as great as or perhaps even greater than that of fascism had been defeated. The populace was happy and interested and a very public airing of the stuff from Venona or the "Black Book" would have discredited communism for all time.

Instead, we defeated the most virulent form while allowing another one the space to flourish on campus and in the infotainment industry. As a result, we have the postmodern left plaguing the West and inhibiting our ability to accomplish much of anything.

#2 It helps moonbats sleep thinking that Camelot was taken down by some right-wing conspiracy. I mean why would a single person (commie to boot) dislike JFK? Also JFK was not as left-wing as he is made out to be. He disliked commies (see Cuba, Vietnam, etc) so it makes perfectly good sense to me that a commie convert would hate JFK.
