Why is the official version of everything the only correct version of truth? Why? I can never get any of you to answer that.
...sociopaths like Dick Cheney, George Bush, Stalin, Hitler, etc
Examples: JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon,
JFK was hardly a "good person". the bay of pigs and the many affairs he had on his wife leave much to be desired in the character department.
curiously enough, JFK's assasination is the only event you listed that i'm sure was a conspiracy.
How come they never kill evil sociopaths like Dick Cheney, George Bush, Stalin, Hitler, etc?
It's only after his death though that his popularity started to really spiral out of control, and even to this day in fact he's seen as one of the greatest President's who ever lived in the eyes of most. Would that have happened if he lived? Almost certainly not.

There were assassination attempts on GW Bush (and no I am not talking about the show thrower), Hitler, Ronald Reagan...as for Dick Cheney, he shot a lawyer in the face and didn't get sued. I mean that should make him an ungodly hero to some

Agreed (on the latter anyway), and that was the point I was making before. With his demise people routinely forget the negative that he did, the hurt he may have caused others and so on and on and on. The same applies to the others as well but more so JFK It seems.
Was he a good president overall? I think so, certainly not great but not bad either taking everything into consideration. Was he a good person? No. He just wasn't at all. As you say he was known to have often cheated on his wife and just have an all-round low opinion of women, seeing them more so as objects as opposed to people.
Was his death the result of a conspiracy? Yes.

What about the RFK assassination? That's a by far more obvious case for conspiracy than the JFK case is, even today in fact.
