"So many minority youths had volunteered for the well-paying military positions to escape poverty and the ghetto that there was literally no room for patriotic folks." Did Delay really say that? He's a pathological liar. Those kids were drafted, they had no choice.

"Dr. Martin Luther King once said "We're at a terrible stage when we confuse dissent with disloyalty, and we view every protester as a traitor." Community activists are an important part of our democracy. Without them, we wouldn't have abolished slavery, and women wouldn't be able to vote. But if intimidation, fear, and war end up muzzling this vital form of dissent, then our society will be the big loser. Community activism and dissent must be supported."
