Political Quotes

On the recordApril 10, 2025
April 19 will mark 30 years since the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in the United States, when 168 innocent lives were taken on that quiet morning in Oklahoma City. As many as 750 people were hurt, and thousands more were scarred by trauma. The main perpetrator was radicalized by extreme hate toward the Federal Government. He was quickly captured, convicted, and put to death for his crimes. Today, we think of the toddlers at the Murrah building's daycare center who would be in their thirties today. We pray for their moms and their dads, but we must also pray for our country again. The rise in political tribalism and the hate for others must stop. Our faith in this government must never be diminished in any way that turns to hate and violence. American author Napoleon Hill wrote that ``Every adversity, every failure, and every heartache carries a seed of an equal or greater benefit.'' May we never forget those words. ____________________
