You are absolutely correct, and I couldn't agree more that we owe them a tremendous debt.

My concern is that the unshaven fat guy in the baseball cap is a costume for somebody trying to exploit racial and economic differences for his own political agenda and/or benefit.  Not that the Republicans don't now and haven't for 40 years.

On the other hand, if he can get those overrepresented in the armed forces and their dependents, and all those black congresspersons [weren't there were any white ones?] who objected to the 2000 election with no senatorial support, to vote Bush out, maybe that's not the end of the world.
