Don Quixote had courage - but he was also a delusional fool who did nobody any good.
The birthers have led a grand parade (without any danger other than to their reputation and the electoral prospects of the GOP) that led nowhere - and now want congratulations on their “courage”?
Laughably inept fools leading the credulous to the brink of electoral doom without any risk to themselves isn't what I call courage - and it “protected” exactly no one.
Thank you for your prior service.
