“Once again I give you thanks for your merciful love, kindest Lord, for having found
another way of arousing me from my inertia.”

[...] Far from her normal modus operandi, The Anchoress underscores that sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. I, too, still support the president, but with some concerns and caveats. I want border security legislation and heightened enforcement long before hearing any discussion in the Congress of Guest-Worker Programs. And I won’t abide amnesty for illegals or any derivative of it. I want the reckless pork-barrel spending of the GOP-majority Congress reigned in (the president has yet to veto anything). And I want the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast rebuilt and its citizens helped with the same alacrity and commitment that our government displayed in rebuilding war-ravaged Europe and Japan after World War II and that it will no doubt showcase eventually in resurrecting war-torn Iraq. Illegal aliens have a broader social safety net of taxpayer-subsidized services in this country than those bona fide American citizens dispossed of their homes by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. And were that not shameful enough, the illegals are being given the construction jobs (and the training) to rebuild the Gulf Coast, not needy, out-of-work Americans! It’s unconscionable and it’s happening on President Bush’s watch. [...]

I was confused for all these years how conservatives have pegged Bush as a “strong leader,” but I guess this is what they meant all along.

Just responding, Jeff, to the recent article suggesting the president is too manly.
