JFK had some interesting words about Hitler in his diary entry for August 1, 1945. This was published in Prelude to Leadership.

Pg. 74:

That diary entry probably was due to his father Joe Kennedy being anti-war and also JFK being a member of America First opposed to World War II.

Actually, what is considered a "liberal" today would have been considered an anarchist in the 1960s.  What is considered a "conservative" today would have been considered a liberal in the 1960s.

"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and [liberals]. The business of [liberals] is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected."  --  G.K. Chesterton

(The original quote called them "progressives", but progressives simply started calling themselves liberals when the progressive label became unpopular.)
