Thank you for posting such an inspiring article. I believe our mission in the same way that George Bush does. I believe George Bush is in the White House for a reason and I am thankful we have such a wonderful, inspired leader for our country.

Whenever we in the new media get too puffed up, we should remember that the combination of television news, the music industry, and Hollywood have banded together with the democrats to portray one of the best presidents in our history as stupid, greedy, incompetent, and evil; and we should remember that they have managed to convince a fair number of our fellow citizens of this "fact."

I am beginning to think that this nation would best be served by the abolition of television. I think whatever benefits we gain are far outweighed by the damage it does.

God didn’t tell him to put troops in harm’s way in Iraq; his belief only goes so far as to inform him that there is good and evil. It is the president who must figure out how to promote the former and destroy the latter. And he is confident that his policies are doing just that.

I wonder how he squares the belief that his policies are promoting good with the death and destruction visited upon thousands of American families by illegal aliens, with the enemies that infiltrate our cities, sapping our wealth and impinging our freedoms to track them down.

What a crock.

Nice read. I agree that he's a good man. The MSM have demonized him and the US,and its destroying the west sadly.

Say, Irwin, next time you have lunch with George, ask him why he has no intention of securing the Mexican Border.

Miss Marple I have dreamed of something happening to evaporate that triad. The damage to this country, not just to this president, is unprecedented.

Great article, Ivan. It reflects the kind of approach you would hope he would have in these insane times. He is a far, far better man than his enemies.

Love this quote, "He is also refreshingly free of the pretence so common in this town."

Just another reason why I love this President so much and pray for him everyday.


And lament the fact that it might be many years before we get another President of his character. I hope we can survive until then...

And he frowned as he recalled that Blair’s advisers had dissuaded him from saying “God bless you” as he sent British troops off to Iraq.


This says alot..and none of it good. Sad to say there a large numbers of people in America that would feel sending troops off into harms way with a "God Bless You" would be not only a bad idea but unconstitutional.

A good read. My President is a very good man with whom I am well-pleased, even discounting his treatment of the border issues.

I want Mexico as our friend. I want Central America as our friend. And South America. The real enemy could do us major harm by infiltrating our southern neighbors in large numbers.

I know they are trying, but must not succeed.

The real enemy is NOT Mexico.

When we see the good in other people, God is revealed. Therefore, those who are evil and rejecting God, see their own sin and the TRUTH. Because they(we) refuse to hate ourselves, or our own evil, we project it onto someone else, making ourselves gods in our own eyes. Every man will stand before God, and no one has any excuse. Not very well explained, but I overdosed on girl scout cookies this morning.

I truly believe Americans have more in common with Australians than the British. We need to have our relationship with the Aussies strengthened.

Actually you explained that better than anyone I have heard so far.

In other words they see in him things which they themselves are not, and despise him for it.

President Bush is a good man. It's a pity much of the world doesn't know him as well as they should.

Hear, hear.

“Is it due simply to my personality?” he wondered, half-seriously (he is unoffended when made the butt of a joke).

No one is completely unoffended when made the butt of a joke. Some have just learned not to show it while focusing on more important issues.

Coming from a UK perspective, this was a very complementary piece on President Bush. It's nice for a change.

It's nice to see Bush has picked up on Roberts' book - because Hugh Hewitt has been interviewing him and discussing with him segments of his book. You can probably find a transcript at Hugh's website. I found the interview extremely thought provoking.
