"The only foundation for... a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments." ~Dr. Benjamin Rush

The US Women's Soccer Team
Congratulations to out women's soccer team for taking the gold medal in Beijing last week at the Totalitarian Olympics. I congratulate all our medal winners, but the women's soccer team deserves a special mention. As they stood with their gold medals around their necks they actually sang our National Anthem as it played in honor of them. Of the events I watched where the US won gold medals no one knew ALL the words. I saw a "Oh say, can you see" here and there. But every member of the soccer team knew every word and they all sang. It touched me to the point of tearing up. To me this said that their win was for the country as well as the team. It also showed pride in our great country. Our country truly is the "land of the free and the home of the brave." Congratulations and God bless you!
