Grant us the wisdom and courage to reclaim our nation from the clutches of the tyranny of socialism and communism. Open our minds and our hearts to America's cry for help. May this newspaper and website do Your Will always to restore Your Grace to the Minds and Hearts of America. To Return to The Oil Patch close the NEW page. I repeat again, that we ought not to schismatize on either men or measures.
Principles alone can justify that.
If we find our government in all its branches rushing headlong, like our predecessors, into the arms of monarchy, if we find them violating our dearest rights, the trial by jury, the freedom of the press, the freedom of opinion, civil or religious, or opening on our peace of mind or personal safety the sluices of terrorism, if we see them raising standing armies, when the absence of all other danger points to these as the sole objects on which they are to be employed, then indeed let us withdraw and call the nation to its tents. But while our functionaries are wise, and honest, and vigilant, let us move compactly under their guidance, and we have nothing to fear. Things may here and there go a little wrong. It is not in their power to prevent it. But all will be right in the end, though not perhaps by the shortest means.
