“I think with WTO, GATT, United Nations, trilateral commissions, council of foreign relations, I think we are getting a little diluted on allegiance around here. I might be seen as a nationalist and some people call me an isolationist, but by God I am American. That is where my allegiance is. I wanted to say this to the chairman, did Rosa Parks stand up against what was considered a lawful order in Montgomery? Yes, it was a civilian for sure. But Rosa Parks felt it was wrong. She was willing to bear the burden. She was willing to endure wrath, maybe be shot and killed, but she believed in the Constitution. Rosa Parks was being treated unconstitutionally. Michael New went to his commanders, yes, it is about New. But one American has changed the tide of history many times. Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, maybe Michael New, because the only recourse is here in Congress. What did Michael New say? He went to his commander and said, I will do it, show me the constitutionality of it. Show me, because I do not want to do it, but show me. For lack of an answer, it is recorded and I want it quoted on the House floor here today, the commander's answer was, take this as an answer, it looks fabulous. It looks fabulous. Yes, Michael New violated an order. He suffered great pains for it.”
