Probably caucus this before the loons show up?
Oh, me.
**Has the United States remained true to its founding ideals? In particular, are Jesus and His Mother afforded a place of honor in our nation’s culture, politics, and economy? **
Mary gas promised to protect the United States if the Bishops do only one thing....in fact, 9-11 may not have happened if this had been done.
Very simple — Enshrine Our Lady of America in a niche in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D. C. It needs to be done soon!!!! (See the links in the next post.)

Mary has no more power to “bless” anything than my Great Aunt Fanny has. Sheesh! Idolatry run rampant.
Alahawahoo Akqubar!
Do you have any credible citations?
The Kensington Runestone was long ago exposed as a hoax.
The civil expression of Catholicism -- the Natural Law -- was the guiding principle of the Founders.
San Salvador means Saint Salvador, and Salvador (which means savior) would have been the name of a person who became a saint. It's not named after the savior, but the Saint is named after the Savior, and the island is named after him.
Salve Regina means Save the Queen. I would assume the Spanish singing that would take it to mean Queen Isabella.
And last but not least:Calvin's 500th Birthday Celebrated: Critics and Supporters Agree He was America's Founding Father
Some quotes form the last linked article:Jean Jacques Rousseau, a fellow Genevan who was no friend to Christianity, observed: 'Those who consider Calvin only as a theologian fail to recognize the breadth of his genius. The editing of our wise laws, in which he had a large share, does him as much credit as his Institutes. . . . [S]o long as the love of country and liberty is not extinct amongst us, the memory of this great man will be held in reverence.'
German historian Leopold von Ranke observed that 'Calvin was virtually the founder of America.' Harvard historian George Bancroft was no less direct with this remark: 'He who will not honor the memory and respect the influence of Calvin knows but little of the origin of American liberty.'
"As we celebrate America's Independence this July 4, we would do well to heed John Adams' admonition and show due respect to the memory of John Calvin whose 500th birthday fall six days later," Phillips stated.
Does this ‘ironclad’ story rank higher than the story about the concrete frontyard staue of Mary that survived a housefire and gale force winds during the storm ‘Sandy’?
I never could understand how the roll of Bounty, that survived the fire and wind, was not enshrined as a miracle.
Let’s see....
light weight roll of paper fails to burn or blow away.
Concrete statue fails to burn or blow away.
Which one is more amazing?
Obama says Islam has been woven into American fabric since the beginning. Some crazy claims being made.
——Columbus’ three ships were named the Santa Maria (“Saint Mary”), the Pinta (“Paint”), and Nina (“Girl”)–which, put together in a sentence, reads “Holy Mary paints girl.” This refers to the miraculous event which occurred 49 years later, when Mary “painted” an image of herself as a young Indian maiden on St. Juan Diego’s tilma, .....
It’s a tab hard to swallow that Columbus named his ships prophetically 49 years before an event....
Believe what you want about Mary...no skin off my nose...
But this is a stretch....
