"It is the duty of every man to render to the Creator such homage
and such only as he believes to be acceptable to him. This duty

to the claims of Civil Society. "

Assessments, Circa 20 June 1785)

"In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making
proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be

"We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our won Country's
Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we
now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.
Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the
aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate
and encourage us to great and noble Actions. "

-- George Washington (General Orders, 2 July 1776)

Mr. Washington, we could sure use you right about now.

Sincerely,
Mr. Right Opinion
