I did frequently refer to my war record in World War II, but not in any flamboyant way.

My heart does sometimes bleed for those who are hurting in my own country and abroad.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie. My dad was a Methodist minister. I went off to war. I have been married to the same woman forever. I'm what a normal, healthy, ideal American should be like.

Never say anything that, down inside, you think is wrong.

From secrecy and deception in high places; come home, America. From military spending so wasteful that it weakens our nation; come home, America. From the entrenchment of special privileges in tax favoritism; from the waste of idle lands to the joy of useful labor; from the prejudice based on race and sex; from the loneliness of the aging poor and the despair of the neglected sick - come home, America.

My dad was a Methodist minister.

This dogged, same track approach (by the NCI) is even more astonishing.
