After wrapping up the G8 Summit in Germany, President and Mrs. Bush flew to Poland to meet with President Lech Kaczynski. The two leaders delivered a joint statement in Gdansk. (Transcript)
From there, President and Mrs. Bush traveled to Rome.
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
It didn’t seem curt to me. I asked a question, you gave me the answer. Quickly. And with needless words omitted.
It is I who should apologize for failing to thank you, which I do now: Thanks!
BAD SNUGS!
I forgive you 
Maybe “Lech” is the equivalent to John, Bill or William. Sure seems to be an often used name.

Thank you so much for posting the Dose tonight — the photos are stunning! . . . Prayers up for our courageous President as he battles a stomach virus while continuing to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders!

A DRDEB//ANCHORESS RANT:
DRDEB:
My concern about the current immigration hysteria is NOT that some on the right had problems with the specifics of the bill; my concern is that to many on THE RIGHT HAVE ADOPTED THE SAME NEFARIOUS MEANS TO ACHIEVE THEIR ENDS THAT THE LEFT HAS USED FOR DECADES (particularly during the post-2000 election era) — this fact both saddens and sickens me!
THE ANCHORESS amplifies my point:
“. . . What if it’s all an illusion, just like the Cinco de Mayo “nationwide protests” by Hispanics was an ‘06 (election year) illusion that had nothing behind it in ‘07 (no elections). What if everyone is being played a little bit, here, being prompted to emotional reactionaryism as a means of reaching into and infecting those Americans of good-will who until the “flashpoint” and the sudden hue-and-cry couldn’t be moved to hate? Moved to grousing, yes, but never before moved to real, unadulterated hate?
Illusionists are clever sorts - they are specialists at making us look at one thing, and convincing us that we know what we are seeing, while they are actually doing something else, entirely. It’s called “misdirection.”
What if the illegal immigration flashpoint was never about immigration at all, but about getting people stirred to “hate.” Who would do that, you ask? Think about it. Who and what does hate serve? What happens to the soul of a nation, when “hate” is the overpowering force driving a majority of people - it doesn’t matter which “side.”
I wrote last year:
Prayer is a force and it is real. I came away from Adoration convinced that we will not defeat the enemy (and on the most fundamental level, the enemy - both within and without - is hate) unless we are willing to use the weapon of real and loving prayer - faithfully, humbly, daily…and did I say humbly…we will not win.
. . . I read a forum last night wherein a poster made a prayer of thanksgiving offered to God with a sneer toward all those who didn’t have the same opinion as the writer. An awful prayer, offered with such an undertone of disdain and superiority, and I thought…well…Bush did say he was worried about how this was affecting the soul of the nation.
Oh, I forgot, that was “offensive.” How dare the president presume to think he needs to worry about the nation’s soul, when it’s full of Godly men and women who know they’re Right before the Lord? (Do any of us ever really know that? Are any of us so scrupulous in our behavior and in examining our consciences that we know that?) Why, if Bush would just fall in line, they wouldn’t hate anyone! It’s Bush’s fault that they hate.
Some on the Right have been “offended” a lot, lately; they’ve embraced the politics of “hurt feelings and insult” that usually characterizes the Left, and with breathtaking ease. Maybe you’re reading this right now and saying, “damn straight I was; offended and insulted!”
But when you got offended because some charged a racial component to all of this, did you think you’d end up writing the words “kiss my white American ass,” just a few days later, as though your ass being a white American one made it an innately superior sort of ass? Did you think you’d be referring to the president as “Jorge” as though having such a name is a bad thing? When you got offended because the president worried about our national soul, did you think you’d be wishing “a pox” on me and my kids and the American President? Did you think you’d be calling Bush a “villain?”
Think about it, that’s all I’m saying. If a year ago you weren’t hating and now you are, think about it.

HAVE YOU WONDERED WHY THE ‘FR’ COMMENTS ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT HAVE BECOME SO NASTY OF LATE? I DON’T ANY LONGER . . . Just examine the current FR poll . . . Approximately 60% ‘support’ Hunter (awesome on WOT, but Buchanan-esque on the economy), Paul (a Buchanan/Clinton wanna be) and Tancredo (a one trick pony with an ego the size of Nancy Pelosi’s plastic surgery budget) . . . I think these stats say all that needs to be said about the ‘political’/ideological leanings of MANY current Freepers!!

GREAT NEWS — Hubby’s pathology reports came back NEGATIVE — he’s cancer free . . . We just got home from a mini celebration (hubby’s still in major recovery mode) . . . I’m off to continue the celebration! [Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers!!]
It seems like just about every other thread in here has become a Bush bash thread. :-(
You’re most likely correct on both answered ?’s Thanks!
I saw your reply--well done :) I feel the same way.
It's disgraceful that others choose to bash and trash our leaders instead of praying for them.
The ones that bash the the president on a prayer thread are the lowest of the low.
No worries I typo all the time!
I correct only my goofs, when I notice ‘em!
Kinda like what you just did with your own typo huh?
;)
I hadn’t noticed till you pointed it out, btw.
Re:88 I concur again here too!
Thanks for all the wonderful pictures of Our President and other European Leaders, they are all heartwarming.
no doubt Jonny. no doubt!!!
:)
And a big THANK YOU JESUS!!!
And thank you so much for your Anchoress piece. I think a few paragraphs of that should be posted on the prayer thread.
They do consider Ron Paul a real Texan though. Even though he was born and raised in Pittsburg, PA He was 33 when he and his wife moved to Texas in 1968, That is 20 years after George H. W. Bush, Barbara Bush and their little toddler George W. Bush the future President moved to TX
Amen to that”THANK YOU JESUS!”
bears repeating!
:)
