It can take greater courage to stand in opposition to the views of your neighbors or nation than to confront an enemy in combat.

My father was a clergyman and always said: 'Hate the sin but love the sinner.'

I always thought of myself as a moderate liberal, a fighter for peace and justice. I never thought of myself as being all that far out.

I seek to call America home to those principles that gave us birth.
