You must keep your honor You can't speak for the country you can do little about the national economy or actions of moral weaklings who excuse themselves with the expression, 'That is politics nor can you be responsible for deception in others. But you are responsible for yourself There are no collective panaceas only individual ones.
More Quotes from Ezra Taft Benson:
You must not allow yourselves to become discouraged. Missionary work brings joy, optimism, and happiness. Don't give Satan an opportunity to discourage you. Here again, work is the answer. The Lord has given us a key by which we can overcome discouragement 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.' (Matthew 1128-30.)Ezra Taft Benson

Isaiah describes the condition when he states, 'As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.' and then these words followand consider these words seriously when you think of those political leaders who are promoting birth control and abortion 'O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.' Isaiah 312
