QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Your Holiness, thank you very much for receiving Laura and me, and our delegation. I bring greetings from our country, where you are respected, admired and greatly loved.

I also bring a message from my government that says to you, sir, we will work for human liberty and human dignity, in order to spread peace and compassion; that we appreciate the strong symbol of freedom that you have stood for, and we recognize the power of freedom to change societies and to change the world.

And so, sir, we're honored to be here. Perhaps the best way I can express my country's gratitude to you, and our respect to you, is to present to you the Medal of Freedom from America. And if you might allow, I'd like to read the citation attached to that honor:"

Laura is looking especially beautiful in these photos, and our President clearly a resolute War President.

Their gentleness with and respect for Pope John is also beautiful.

Thanks for great photos today, MJY!

Thanks for the Great Pics!

Just looking at the pics with President Bush and the Pope gave me a sense of genuine spirituality.

The Pope is the Pope.

The President is my Commander-in-Chief, my mentor, and my hero. We shall reap the seeds that we sow. IMHO, President Bush and our Country should have a bumper crop this November 4th. STAY THE COURSE!

Thanks so much Mike!
Great Dose and pictures..
Hey Nebraska...
it is a Catholic tradition for women to cover their heads in church...
I was raised Catholic..I am very honored that Laura chose to do this, it means a great deal to me..
It is also a reflection of her quiet grace..
I'm so proud she is our First Lady...
Ms.B

Psalm 71

1 In You, O LORD, I put my trust;
        Let me never be put to shame.
        2Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape;
        Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
        3Be my strong refuge,
        To which I may resort continually;
        You have given the commandment to save me,
        For You are my rock and my fortress.

        4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,
        Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
        5For You are my hope, O Lord GOD;
        You are my trust from my youth.
        6By You I have been upheld from birth;
        You are He who took me out of my mother's womb.
        My praise shall be continually of You.

        7I have become as a wonder to many,
        But You are my strong refuge.
        8Let my mouth be filled with Your praise
        And with Your glory all the day.

        9Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
        Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
        10For my enemies speak against me;
        And those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together,
        11Saying, "God has forsaken him;
        Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him."

        12O God, do not be far from me;
        O my God, make haste to help me!
        13Let them be confounded and consumed
        Who are adversaries of my life;
        Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor
        Who seek my hurt.

        14But I will hope continually,
        And will praise You yet more and more.
        15My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
        And Your salvation all the day,
        For I do not know their limits.
        16I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD;
        I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only.

        17O God, You have taught me from my youth;
        And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
        18Now also when I am old and grayheaded,
        O God, do not forsake me,
        Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
        Your power to everyone who is to come.

        19Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high,
        You who have done great things;
        O God, who is like You?
        20You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,
        Shall revive me again,
        And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
        21You shall increase my greatness,
        And comfort me on every side.

"Right Cares 'Bout Liberty!!"
(To be sung to Neil Young's "Days That Used To Be")

Sheeple say, "Don't rock the boat...
Let Slick go on his way."
Justice usedta seem so Right...
Still, Bill Clinton hasn't paid!!
I wish Right would stalk RATS' fool...
House should RE-IMPEACH!!
'Cuz there's very few of us left, my FRiends,
Who still care 'bout Liberty!!

FReepin's such a noble thing...
We follow Righteous dreams!!
RATS' transgressions and obsessions...
Mask the Unborn's silent screams!!
Left drags US down...
'Cuz DemRATS now're...
Traitors to our security!!
Bush should never have...
To make those deals...
Right still cares 'bout bein' FRee!!

(Guitar-strummin' interlude)

Live with it, my Lib'ral FRiends...
Right shall win this War!!
Best be happy with...
Yer ignored rants...
Hanoi John's a falling star!!
RATS won't git US where we wanna go...
In oh-eight, we'll git Hillary!!
Left's just another impediemt to the FRee...
Right cares 'bout Liberty!!
