Randall B. Woods, LBJ: Architect of American Ambition:

"LBJ did not want to give conservatives an excuse to block passage of the remaining components of the Great Society. He knew what happened to a democratic society fully mobilized for war. Patriotism and xenophobia would run rampant, respect for civil liberties would decline, the war machine would consume every available resource, and any chance of domestic reform would disappear."
