People didn't have the political guts to stand up against an American war.

There is a strong tendency in the United States to rally round the flag and their troops, no matter how mistaken the war.

Truth is a habit of integrity, not a strategy of politics.

When I was a youngster growing up in South Dakota, we never referred to the national debt, it was always referred to as the war debt because it stemmed from World War I.

Every program that ever helped working people, from rural electrification to Medicare, was enacted by liberals over the opposition of conservatives. When people tell me they don't like liberals, I ask, "Do you like Social Security? If so, then shut up!"

I hope someday we will be able to proclaim that we have banished hunger in the United States, and that we've been able to bring nutrition and health to the whole world.

I am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.
