The General Welfare

The wave of conservatism crested/ But it's ideas were never bested/ Most of the warriors just walked away/ They abandoned the field of play/ Left the hustings yesterday/ Allowing Marxists to hold sway/ So can we get our nation back,/ Restore the rightward track?/ Yes, if we take another tack/ Stand up, speak up, use our precepts on the attack/ Editorialize, criticize, put truth to their lies/ Do not sit back and watch as liberty dies
