Jerry Brown believes in the most typical democratic stand point short of socialism. he's very bipartisan in that he doesn't much believe in anything other than trading green (which is evidently now a resource) for jobs, and state where the money is dying, making money through prop 19, and raising taxes for social programs. He also gets made fun of by the Jello Biafra, and the Dead Kennedys.

by not making stupid decisions, remove illegal immigrants who drain our resources and cause crime, stay out of foreign affairs unless asked to by that government, less strict gun laws that already have no purpose, less involvement in the public laws, and more effort in fixing the economy.

Lee Harvey Oswald was a man who never fit in; no matter what he tried, he always ended up alienating himself from the "group". He had the training, the skill, and the means to carry it out all by himself. Most of all, after all of his failures, he had the motivation to make this grand gesture to ensure that his name would always be a part of American history.

Lee Harvey Oswald did not kill John F Kennedy (JFK) , but was a patsy.

The Mafia killed JFK because Bobby Kennedy was "turning up the heat" on the Mafia.

Even after all the work the Mafia had done in Chicago to get JFK elected president in 1960.

Mafia hit man James Files has recently admitted to firing the fatal bullet, the blew JFK's brains

out towards the rear, from the infamous grassy knoll in Daily Plaza.

James Files worked together with another Mafia hit man to "take the trash out" as he put it.

Sirhan Sirhan is the main antagonist. He killed U.S. Senator Robert Francis Kennedy after Kennedy won the California primary on June 5, 1968 in Los Angeles, California. A diary found during a search of Sirhan's home stated, "My determination to eliminate RFK is becoming more and more of an unshakable obsession. RFK must die. RFK must be killed. RFK must be assassinated before june 5th 1968." It has been suggested that the date of the assassination is significant, because it was the first anniversary of the first day of the Six Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
Sirhan Sirhan, a twenty-four year old Palestinian immigrant, was convicted of Kennedy's murder and is serving a life sentence for the crime.

Civil Service reform; in 1883, the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act was passed, as a tribute to Garfield, who had been a proponent of eliminating the patronage system and hiring people based on merit.

On the evening of April 14, 1865, while attending a special performance of the comedy, "Our American Cousin," President Abraham Lincoln was shot. Accompanying him at Ford's Theater that night were his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, a twenty-eight year-old officer named Major Henry R. Rathbone, and Rathbone's fiancee, Clara Harris. After the play was in progress, John Wilkes Booth with a drawn derringer pistol stepped into the presidential box, aimed, and fired. The president slumped forward. The assassin, John Wilkes Booth, dropped the pistol and waved a dagger. Rathbone lunged at him, and though slashed in the arm, forced the killer to the railing. Booth leapt from the balcony and caught the spur of his left boot on a flag draped over the rail, and shattered a bone in his leg on landing. Though injured, he rushed out the back door, and disappeared into the night on horseback. A doctor in the audience immediately went upstairs to the box. The bullet had entered through Lincoln's left ear and lodged behind his right eye. He was paralyzed and barely breathing. He was carried across Tenth Street, to a boarding-house opposite the theater, but the doctors' best efforts failed. Nine hours later, at 7:22 AM on April 15th, Lincoln died. At almost the same moment Booth fired the fatal shot, his accomplice, Lewis Paine, attacked Lincoln's Secretary of State, William Henry Seward. Seward lay in bed, recovering from a carriage accident. Paine entered the mansion, claiming to have a delivery of medicine from the Secretary's doctor. Seward's son, Frederick, was brutally beaten while trying to keep Paine from his father's door. Paine slashed the Secretary's throat twice, then fought his way past Seward's son Augustus, an attending hospital corps veteran, and a State Department messenger. Paine escaped into the night, believing his deed complete. However, a metal surgical collar saved Seward from certain death. The Secretary lived another seven years, during which he retained his seat with the Johnson administration, and purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867. There were at least four conspirators in addition to Booth involved in the mayhem. Booth was shot and captured while hiding in a barn near Bowling Green, Virginia, and died later the same day, April 26, 1865. Four co-conspirators, Paine, George Atzerodt, David Herold, and Mary Surratt, were hanged at the gallows of the Old Penitentiary, on the site of present-day Fort McNair, on July 7, 1865.

Because there were no public opinion polls in 1865, it's difficult to calculate the reaction of the defeated South to the news of the assassination of US President Abraham Lincoln. Based on Southern newspapers, the best answer to that news was mixed. Many hateful people were delighted with the news. That to one extent could have been expected. Some Southern people feared a retaliation from US troops stationed in the South. A minority, having read or known about Lincoln's mild 1864 Inaugural Address, and the hint of a mild reconstruction policy were saddened by his death. Former Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston declared the assassination a great calamity for the South.

Lee Harvey Oswald was killed 2 days after his arrest. Jack Ruby shot him in the abdomen. Jack Ruby was then arrested and stayed in jail for the rest of his life. Ruby died of lung cancer at age 55.

Kennedy's assassination profoundly impaired the American liberalism.

Basically, it is the event that triggered the domino effect toward World War 1.
