TUSCALOOSA - To coach Patrick Murphy, Alabama junior Lauren Parker looked normal. Her swing looked fluid, and the ball was jumping again.

It was like old times, which meant the first-team softball All-American was officially back.

Trailing for the first time in the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional, Parker loudly announced her return with a two-run home run in the fifth inning to send the No. 1 Crimson Tide to a super regional with a 4-1 win over No. 3 Jacksonville State Saturday night.  [more]

In the middle of April 1862, the 18th Ohio under Turchin’s command occupied Athens, Alabama, a prosperous town of about 1200 population. On May 1, however, they were driven out by a combined regular and partisan Confederate cavalry force of only 112 men and retreated back to Huntsville. The Confederate cavalry was greeted with cheers and waving handkerchiefs by the citizens in the streets. Reports indicate that some Athens civilians may have fired on the Union troops from their homes as they left. The Confederate forces, however, quickly pulled out of town. [more]

Missouri has joined other states like Oklahoma and Arizona in passing anti-Illegal Immigration laws.  They have become the leaders in the movement of states taking back their right to protect their own sovereignty when the Federal Government has failed to fulfill its Constitutional duty.  The citizens are finally speaking out and refusing to bear the financial burden Illegal Immigration has placed upon their states. 

Hopefully this is only the beginning of the move back to state’s rights and the restoration of the Constitutional powers that the Federal Government has stripped from the states.  Confederate Catholics wants to personally congratulate Missouri in their efforts to ensure that Immigrants are welcomed into their state legally.
