  1. That is an inspiring story on several levels.

    I’ve been reading a lot wonderful stories about Poland and her citizens lately. In the culture war that we are currently in, conservatives need to embrace European countries like Poland, who have “been there and done that”, and are rejecting totalitarian communism.

  2. I read about this wonderful gesture this morning. What immediately jumped out at me, this complicated operation will be done at Stanford Medical Center. The US has the finest doctors and hospitals in the world, that is why they come all this way. Freedom breeds creativity and innovation, it allows for maximum potential.

  3. I’ve been to a few charity auctions and it usually turns out to be a waste of time if you’re looking to actually purchase something. The same item goes up for bid 10 times or even more in some cases and waaaay over price, the winner just says, “run it again!” Nice gesture, but man is it a frustratingly long. They could have easily just gone to the cashier and cut a check to save time, but no, they gotta show off to everyone how nice they are.

  4. @rich taylor –

    It pains me greatly to think that we might have to experience what Poland had to endure before our useful idiots awaken to the intellect, insight and foresight that our forefathers had in creating the Constitution to set this country apart from the rest of the world.
