.@PTBwrites: "America may not be a young nation, but it is a young multi-racial democracy. Many leftists want to draw a clear line from the march on Washington[...] to their favored cause du jour.

If he wants a future in politics. What else could he possibly say? He's also written for America Magazine. Training to be a policy wonk/swamp creature.
