The United States of America was established by Divine inspiration and through Divine intervention to be the light to the World. We Americans have an awesome responsibility to this end.

Pray that our generation and those that follow cherish that responsibility as those that precede us.

These men did not suffer and die for freedom so that we could on this day throw it away.

Free Republic gives voice to the Patriot, the Common Man, who it would appear is becoming less and less common all the time.

Thanks to everyone who makes Free Republic possible. And, God bless all who participate in good faith.

From the day St. Patrick picked a shamrock, I was destined to be Catholic,
the faith of my ancestors for 1,600 years, the faith of my descendants till the end of time.

Mark 9

They came to Capernaum and, once inside the house,
he began to ask them,
"What were you arguing about on the way?"
But they remained silent.
They had been discussing among themselves on the way
who was the greatest.
Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them,
"If anyone wishes to be first,
he shall be the last of all and the servant of all."

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH - Section 2241

The more prosperous nations are obliged, to the extent they are able, to welcome the foreigner in search of the security and the means of livelihood which he cannot find in his country of origin. Public authorities should see to it that the natural right is respected that places a guest under the protection of those who receive him.

Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various juridical conditions, especially with regard to the immigrants' duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.

(Commentary: Catholics need to heed the second paragraph as well as the first.)

Who is the greatest? The Lutherans? The Baptists? The Catholics? The others?

Jesus Christ is the greatest.

Christians are brothers and sisters in Christ.

Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in the day of battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, thrust into hell, satan and all the other evil spirits,
who roam through the world, seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

There are all kinds of low class slime who are trying and will continue to try to wreck this country from the inside. Most of them don't know it, but they are actually working for the Russians. Some of them do know it, though. It doesn't matter whether they call themselves communists, socialists, or just plain liberals. That is what they are doing.

"We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."
