"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

I read day before yesterday that he was at the palliative care stage. Condolences to the family.

What happened, George?

McGovern volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Forces upon the country's entry into World War II and as a B-24 Liberator pilot flew 35 missions over German-occupied Europe. Among the medals awarded him was a Distinguished Flying Cross for making a hazardous emergency landing of his damaged plane and saving his crew.

He was always more heart than brains. The leftists miss those sort of folks now. I disagreed with him on EVERYTHING that mattered, but he was still a good fellow....I mean for a leftist.  There are so few like him remaining on their side, it is not a good thing that he is dead now.

I applaud his service in the war, but politically he was on the wrong side of history to say the least.
