Free Republic

Communion on the Moon I love this. How many of you knew? Too bad this type news doesn't travel as fast as bad. Communion on the Moon: July 20th, 1969 (This is an article by Eric Metaxas) Forty years ago two human beings changed history by walking on the surface of the moon. But what happened before Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong exited the Lunar Module is perhaps even more amazing, if only because so few people know about it. I'm talking about the fact that Buzz Aldrin took communion on the surface of the moon. Some months after his...

This movement is you, your family, your friends and your neighbors in the street making a difference. It is the people calling, signing petitions, blogging and doing everything in their power to make a difference in their communities and states. Those are the things that will change Washington, DC, not a person on a news show. FOX News does not lead us, the Republican Party does not lead us, it is you who awoke and said “I can make a difference” and you certainly are making that difference. Will the Tea Party Revolution implode or continue to gain steam? That...

WELCOME ABOARD. Part of the Priests for Life team on the Freedom Bus. Clockwise from top right: Father Peter West, associate director; Augustinian Father Denis Wilde, associate director; Dr. Alveda King, director of African-American outreach; Father Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life; and Dominican Father Scott Daniels, pastoral associate. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — As the civil-rights movement was simmering in the early 1960s, black men and women, often accompanied by white sympathizers, boarded buses in the American South and sat wherever they wanted. These “freedom riders” challenged local and state laws and customs that kept the races separate on...

Rappers in 2010 don’t know what the ‘F’ to do. They are being let down by the first president they actually went to the voting polls for, and they are speechless. In fact, their silence is consent. Isn’t it great to know that of all presidents, Obama is the one who finally shut these foul-mouthed-usually-criminals the hell up! Ha! Gotta love that! Sometimes (OK – most of the time), I just can’t help wishing that musicians would shut up about politics. Either they stand blindly behind a disaster like Obama (Paul McCartney, Jimmy Buffet, and way too many others) out...

As I made my way on an April morning from Harvard Square to a Tea Party Express rally on the Boston Commons, a quotation and a question wound together in my mind. The quotation is a familiar one from William F. Buckley, that he would rather be governed by the first two thousand people listed in the Boston phone directory than the two thousand who comprise the faculty at Harvard University. Buckley was not condemning intelligence or intellectual achievement. He was expressing trust in the moral intuitions and pragmatic sensibilities of ordinary Americans, and indulging in a playful bit of...

Dear pro-life friend, Has the whole world lost its mind? Or has everyone just gone on vacation?!Stop and think ... She's "Kagan the Pagan."Whether your concern is the murder of babies, homosexual marriage, the military, gays in the military, our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, the Obama health care debacle, socialism versus freedom, our rights embodied in the Declaration of Independence, free speech and pamphleteering, hate speech, and only God knows what else–how could you not be appalled at Elena Kagan? On any one of the issues that most Christians in America hold dear to their hearts,...

Liberty Juice(Credits go to Peggy Noonan for the title.) It’s been almost eighteen months since the beginning of my involvement with the Tea Party movement, and it seems as good a time as any to step back and review as we move into the 2010 election cycle. I’ve spent much of my time in this past year and a half traveling, training, learning, researching, speaking to groups and talking to people both in the movement and outside of it, but it wasn’t until I was asked to speak to a local professional club that I began trying to draw these...

JUNEAU, Alaska -- Sarah Palin's political action committee contributed at least $87,500 to candidates she's endorsed in the last few months, according to a report filed Sunday with the Federal Elections Commission. But SarahPAC's financial disclosure also shows Palin spending more than $210,000 on consulting. --snip--

Plea for All to Do Something to Save the USA (extreme vanity)

A funny thing happened this Saturday, in the small town of Murphy, in the mountains of western North Carolina. Without marching orders or bags of money from the Republican Party, or Karl Rove, or Dick Cheney, or Rush Limbaugh, a bunch of ordinary folks got together, got a permit from the town, and held a rally to…GASP!...impeach Obama. Sort of a celebration of the Fourth of July and the First Amendment, rolled into one (Video 1 and Video 2).

This has become a hot political climate. We are seeing advances towards socialism and outright communism every day in our country. It leaves one feeling stunned and useless. In the evenings we put the kids to bed and turn on our televisions and what we see happening to our country each night on the news leaves us angry, frustrated and disheartened. The country that we love, that we have always felt such pride in has been taken over by a gang of thugs. They don’t play by the rules, they don’t live by the laws, they treat our precious Constitution...

Judicial confirmation hearings are supposed to be about the fitness of the nominee to serve. Last week, however, the Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee used the hearings over Elena Kagan's nomination to attack the "Roberts Court." This attempt took several forms, one of which was to call as a witness Lilly Ledbetter, the unsuccessful party in a 2007 Supreme Court case where the issue concerned calculating the time period for filing a charge of pay discrimination with the EEOC. The Ledbetter decision no longer states the law on the subject; Congress amended the statute in question. Nor, it...

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee tried to use the hearings over Elena Kagan's nomination to attack the "Roberts Court" as activist. However, Jonathan Adler, at the Volokh Conspiracy, argues that the Roberts Court remains, by and large, "minimalist," rather than activist. Adler writes: As a general rule, this remains a court that tends to rule narrowly, and this is largely because the Chief Justice, Justice Alito, and sometimes Justice Kennedy have a preference for narrower rulings and smaller steps. But narrow rulings are not always possible. Sometimes the legal questions cannot be neatly divided. In such cases I think...

Bush political advisor Karl Rove, whom leftists consider to be a Snidely Whiplash-like figure, is reportedly putting together a group on the right to be an answer to the George Soros-led Democracy Alliance. Politico reports on the developing group, referring to it as a massive fundraising, organizing and advertising machine based on the model assembled by Democrats early in the decade, and with the same ambitious goal — to recapture Congress and the White House. Also involved is former GOP chairman Ed Gillespie. “Where they have a chess piece on the board, we need a chess piece on the board,”...

Organizing for America (formerly known as Obama for America) is the new organized group that President Obama is using to push his agenda on America. This group is so well organized it makes you wonder if President Obama should have hired the people who run it to take care of the BP oil spill.This group has two functions:  First is to push and promote Obama’s political agendas and bills from DC by delivering talking points through various mediums (My Barack Obama [1], Fight The Smears [2], and twitter.com/barackobama [3]).  The second is to create a pool of volunteers for the...

Ameriican citizens across the US attended events today in support of Governor Brewer and the citizens of Arizona and their new Immigration legislation. If you attended an event in support of Arizona or another patriotic event please share your "after action report" and photos here. God bless Governor Brewer for her actions and those of the legislators of Arizona to protect their citizens!

Even in liberal California Tea Partiers are waking folks up and urging the conservative vote. This group gathered spontaneously at the intersection of Rio Road and Highway 1 near Big Sur, urging motorists to vote against Sam Farr. They urged support of Arizona, drawing many honks of support. This freep stopped and filmed the event, telling those on scene about FreeRepublic.

The Mojave Cross has been torn down again!The day after Memorial Day the Mojave National Preserve has removed the cross erected the day prior. The seven foot cross made of PVC pipe was erected as a War Memorial on Monday, May 31, 2010 during a celebration of Memorial Day and the Mojave Cross. At noon today a call came from the site that the cross has been removed again! Most of the small wooden crosses inscribed with the name of a fallen American hero were wedged into crevices of the rock and are still there today.-snip-
