Soviet monument to make way for Reagan [Poland erects statue of RR in Ronald Reagan Freedom Square]

Poland is one of the staunchest allies of the U.S. They have sent their soldiers to Iraq to support our efforts there. They have been ardently anti-communist and remain one of the most Muslim-free countries in Europe. Yet, U.S. immigration policy forbids Poles from freely traveling to the US, imposiing draconian visas that no other free country must comply with. What is the deal President Bush?

[jburkovi]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

i think bush is being realistic. While poland is a great ally, they're also a developing country and don't have first world type of security arrangements (something along those lines.)

Huh ? I was happily unaware of this . Crazy .

Ping to a nice story about the greatest statesman any of us will ever have the pleasure of calling our Prez.

If the Poles changed their names to Gonzales and Ramirez, El Jefe would probably let them in, no questions asked.

However, he said, the proposal could cost an estimated 500,000 zlotys (128,000 euros, 168,000 dollars) and the city had "other pressing needs."

I'd gladly donate to this cause.

G-d Bless 'em!

It cost $100 for a tourist Visa. Poles were excluded because they "visit" the US and never leave.

"they're also a developing country and don't have first world type of security arrangements"

As opposed to our wonderful ally, Mexico

bttt

[M. Espinola]

Poland, a former Soviet captive nation, is a true ally in the counter jihad war, and is once again placing Putin's brutal neo-Soviet régime on notice "Poland is free of Moscow's totalitarianism and fully appreciate the American president who greatly assisted in bringing about the break up of the Russian's communist slave empire.'

GRRRRREAT news!

Polski pingi.

And that country used to be marred with monuments to Lenin and Stalin. What a different world for Eastern Europe than the one we saw in 1980 and a statue in Poland for this great man is entirely appropriate.

Oh, that explains it. They need to come up with a security arrangement like we have on the Mexican border, right? Yeah that makes sense.

[lizol]

Oh, don't they? Really?

Polish Immigrants Leave America for Europe

Lenin Statues of the World

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Lenin statues were pushed over and beheaded as a symbol of the society's new openness. (That means in the countries occupied by the Russians). In Russia Lenin statues are however still a common sight. Most cities have at least one statue of Lenin and it is usually placed at Lenin square at the most central location. Small towns (up to 20 000 inhabitants) usually have an ugly low budget version or a bust instead. On this page I have put together the Lenin statues over the world that are known to me. If you have information about other surviving Lenin statues, please mail the author: Contact information Please note that in my mind the communistic system was b-a-d and this page is NOT a tribute to Lenin and it´s not a political site...Very likely the typical tourist picture taken by a westerner visiting mother Russia would be: To make that touristic one standing beneath Lenin and imitating him pointing out the way to the perfect society with his giant hand while the other hand is holding his ridicolous but cute cap. When shooting your picture the locals laugh and laugh and some drunkards might even yell at you for taking this, in their mind, very stupid picture...

As well as raising money for the statute for our Great President, Ronald Wilson Reagan, we should get behind an effort to raise money and give the $100 for the US Visa to those Poles interested in visiting America. If they stay in America, that's our gain and Poland's loss.

"Poland is one of the staunchest allies of the U.S."

One of the world's bravest people as well. I've always had a soft place in my heart for the Poles.

POLSKA!
