You probably already know about this, C, but just in case. I heard that Clinton will be in the group, which made me cringe.

I was thinking how only 45 years ago people said JFK would take orders from the Pope because he was Catholic. Hell, being Catholic destroyed Al Smith's candidacy in the 20's. How times have changed.

However, nowadays usually its northeastern liberals claming to be Catholics, yet working every day to undermine the church values.

Prayers for the Pope.

That being said, Bush, why don't you lead a delegation of Border Patrol Agents to our Border states and protect this country?

I suppose that Hillary will jump in the band wagon so that we both can puke twice.

It is funny watching the liberals praise the man, but brush off his deepest beliefs as quaint. He is being reduced by many commentators to a politician and celebrity instead of the steadfast authority of faith and scripture.

I can stomach Clinton going in the delegation, but Gerald "The Soviets do not dominate Poland" Ford, or Jimmy Carter better not be.

I am very happy our president will be at the funeral wish I could be among the group that will be there.

As i have said before I am not Catholic.I knew nothing about any of the other Pope's.All I know is this man was so very sweet and had that beautiful peaceful smile on his face every time I saw his picture..and he was a true man of God..

That and claim that Gorby was the real power behind bringing down the USSR, while the Pope, Reagan and Thatcher may have had some minor role to play too.

Amazing how DEATH gets so much attention from the very White House that is mandated to protect this country -- yet when it comes to an illegal invasion and presence of invaders, as well as the stomping of rights and protections of its citizens, NOTHING HAPPENS AND OUR GOVERNMENT IS DEATHLY QUIET....

I'm fairly sure that Hillary will have to get old crusty back from the cleaners before Friday.

Maybe one of her Secret Service attendants take take it to the cleaners for her!
