Stranglehold by Molotov Solution on Void (2025) samples John F. Kennedy (John F. Kennedy, 1917):

Terror is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail, either by persuasion or example. But inevitably they fail, either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats, and that aggression would meet its own response. And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know, be he friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities.

But however close we sometimes seem to that dark and final abyss, let no man of peace and freedom despair. For he does not stand alone. If we all can persevere, if we can in every land and office look beyond our own shores and ambitions, then surely the age will dawn in which the strong are just and the weak secure and the peace preserved.

Profile 63 by In The Nursery on Twins (1986) samples John F. Kennedy to the UN General Assembly (John F. Kennedy, 1963):

We stand today on the edge of a new frontier - the frontier of the 1960s - a frontier of unknown opportunities and perils - a frontier of unfulfilled hopes and unfulfilled threats. But the new frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises - it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to our pride, not our security - it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security. The new frontier is here wether we seek it or not.
My call is to the young in heart, regardless of age [...] to all who respond to the scriptural call: [...] Be not afraid, neither be dismayed. For courage, not complacency - is our need today - leadership--not salesmanship. And the only valid test of leadership is the ability to lead, and lead vigorously.

What Do You Know? by KMFDM on What Do You Know, Deutschland? (1986) samples John F. Kennedy to the UN General Assembly (John F. Kennedy, 1963):

The firmness of american will, and the effectiveness of american strength
The Marshall plan
This is no fantasy
The purpose of our common military effort is
War in europe!
The destruction of nations
We are proud of this record
Narrow nationalism
Your nation is in the front lines
In america's own self-interest
We would prefer to see europe divided and weak, enabling the united states to deal with each fragment individually.
The united states of america
The logic of fear
They are backed by the sanction of thousands of the most modern weapons here on european soil
The hottest place isn't Hell
What does liberty require? The answer is clear.
Hundreds of thousands of our soldiers!
But I do believe, in the necessity, of great powers working together
To preserve the dogmatic police state
But life is never easy. There's work to be done, and obligations to be met -- obligations to truth, to justice
Armed agression or subversion
The United States is here in this conflict to stay
Our forces and commitments will remain
We are vigilant and determined to serve three related goals
Wars
