For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ---Ephesians 6:12
"The age of casual Catholicism is over; the age of heroic Catholicism has begun. We can no longer be Catholics by accident, but instead must be Catholics by CONVICTION." ---Fr. Terrence Henry TOR, Franciscan University of Steubenville
This is an interesting contrast of ideas between capitalism vs. socialism, conservatism vs. liberalism, Americanism vs. ...well, something else. What a shame that we couldn't find someone who could express the basic notions of what we hold dearly, as Reagan could, to run against the Messiah. Please give it a listen...
Yesterday, I told my children, we had a great President once. They eagerly asked, "Who was it?????" I told them about Ronald Reagan, specifically his trip to the Berlin Wall. I played the video of his speech there which is at YouTube and was crying like a baby as I watched it -- overwhelmed with admiration for that great man. He fought socialism and was admired by all for that. Now look at us. How soon we all forget. I have not forgotten, and I am now committed to educating my children about the great President we once had and how we can have that again someday.

Also, I want to add that not everyone I link to below marches lock-step with me on every issue. But I link to them nonetheless because I think they are righteous. They have taken sides in their respective battles, political and/or religious, and have chosen wisely. May you do the same.
