As An American, I Want Our Forces

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!"

To Those Who Charge That Liberalism Has Been Tried And Found Wanting, I Answer That The Failure Is Not In The Idea, But In The Course Of Recent History. The New Deal Was Ended By World War Ii. The New Frontier Was Closed By Berlin And Cuba Almost Before It Was Opened. And The Great Society Lost Its Greatness In The Jungles Of Indochina.

I Did Frequently Refer To My War Record In World War Ii, But Not In Any Flamboyant Way.

It Doesn T Require Any Particular Bravery To Stand On The Floor Of The Senate And Urge Our Boys In Vietnam To Fight Harder And If This War Mushrooms Into A Major Conflict And A Hundred Thousand Young Americans Are Killed It Won T Be U.s. Senators Who Die. It Will Be American Soldiers Who Are Too Young To Qualify For The Senate.

Don't Throw Away Your Conscience.
