Howdy everyone!!

The first week of our second quarter 2012 Freepathon is complete and we've raised the first TWELVE percent of our goal. One percent per day keeps the 404 away, but we need your help to get her up to full battle speed.

No matter who wins the nomination or the election, we're going to need FR more than ever to hold their feet to the fire. We're hoping for the tea party rebellion of 2010 to continue in November 2012. It's unlikely that we're going to have a conservative in the Presidency, but if we can continue taking state governments, build on our majority in the House and retake the Senate, we may be able to make some headway anyway. We must repeal ObamaCare/RomneyCare and roll back the out of control unconstitutional Marxist central government!! We must return the real power to the states and the people as the Founders intended!!

We are the resistance!!

Long live the tea party rebellion!!

Never forget your begats. Romney begat RomneyCare, RomneyCare begat ObamaCare, ObamaCare begat the Tea Party. The Tea Party will begat (or win back) our Liberty IF we stick to our guns!! Shove it down our throats today, we shove it up your donkeys in November!!

Thank you all very much!!

Damn the libs and RINOS, full steam ahead!!

No matter what happens we must turn out in November to vote in as many conservatives and vote OUT as many rats as possible at all levels of government. If we don't have a conservative at the top of the ticket we must turn out anyway and vote straight conservative down ticket!! Just call it an off cycle election and pour on the TEA!! It'll be doubly important that we control both houses of congress and as many statehouses as possible. Rebellion comes from the bottom up!!

WOO HOO!! I CAN SEE NOVEMBER FROM MY HOUSE!!

No Bama!! No Romney!!

- Ben Franklin

[DJ MacWoW]

Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them. - Continental Congress Declaration, 1775

FYI .. tonight on HBO:
10pm CT

God is Bigger Than Elvis - the story of former Hollywood actress Dolores Hart, who left it all behind to become a Benedictine nun.

Synopsis excerpt:

The only child of divorced Chicago parents, Dolores Hart was plucked from obscurity to play Elvis’ love interest in 1957’s ‘Loving You,’ and when she received his first on-screen kiss, Hollywood instantly fell for the gorgeous 19-year-old. 

She was subsequently engaged to handsome young architect Don Robinson and starred in a number of other high-profile movies, including 1957’s ‘Wild Is the Wind,’ with Anthony Quinn, 1958’s ‘King Creole’ (also with Elvis), 1960’s ‘Where the Boys Are,’ 1961’s ‘Francis of Assisi’ and 1963’s ‘Come Fly with Me,’ her final film.

Hart surprised Hollywood, her friends and especially her fiancé when she joined the Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn. to become a cloistered Benedictine nun.  ‘I never felt I was leaving Hollywood,’ says Mother Prioress Dolores Hart, recalling her decision today.  ‘God was the vehicle, the ‘bigger Elvis,’” she asserts with a smile.

http://www.hbo.com/#/documentaries/god-is-the-bigger-elvis/synopsis.html

It didn’t win, but the film was nominated for an Oscar in the appropriate category, and she went back to Hollywood for the event for the first time since she’d left.

Her former fiance never stopped loving her, and she him, but she was called. He visited her at the abbey every single year since she’d left until his death last year.

Her interview with Raymond Arroyo.

Mother Dolores was a very close friend to actress Patricia Neal .. and Neal in her last days became a Catholic and is buried at the Abbey.

I remember her like it were yesterday, and I watched the Academy Awards, hoping to get a glimpse of her, to no avail. I don’t get HBO. I know about the film. Tried searching for it on Netflix: nope.

I’m going to watch “The Iron Lady” with Meryl Streep playing Margaret Thatcher tonight, which just arrived today from Netflix! Very excited!

In fact, I need to exit in a few very minutes, so I can nuke something quick for dinner!

I’ll be back after the movie.

[RedMDer]

brb. I need to un-flatten my backside. :)

ROTFLOL. That’s very cute!!!!
Back after “The Iron Lady”!!!

I hate it when that happens.

At least in 1980 we replaced the worthless Carter with a true conservative.

In 1980 we had a true conservative running.

If you think Santorum is a "true conservative," what part of his record did you not get?

[STARWISE]

It really is.
An astounding, miraculous twist is how Patricia
Neal came to know the Abbey and her last years
changed as they unfolded.

In the 40’s Neal had starred with married Gary
Cooper in a movie, and they had an affair. She
got pregnant and had an abortion, something she
said pained her all her life. Separately, Cooper
later in life converted to Catholicism.

Years afterward, it was Cooper’s daughter Maria,
who allegedly spat at Neal in public after the
scandalous affair, who reconciled with Neal, and
who reached out to her suggesting she spend time
decompressing at the Abbey.

Miracles.
