[Rose Siding]

WSJ.com - At Expense of U.S., NationsOf Europe Are Drawing Closer: "America failed its exam as a superpower," says Lech Walesa, the former Solidarity trade-union leader who became Poland's first post-Communist president. "They are a military and economic superpower but not morally or politically anymore. This is a tragedy for us."

3. But he was a strong union man

Lech was a Union man = Commie.

Oh wait! Reagan head of Actors Guild = Commie.

It is all in what one wishes to believe.

4. fun to watch them tie themselives into knots over this one

But it's clear what the difference is - Lech was a union man that stood up for his brothers and sisters - under the threat of death.

Reagan sold out his brothers and sisters first chance he got, therefore, he's a GOP hero.

6. Remember Reagan supporting the unions in Poland while killing them in

the US? Right at the same time he dismantled the Air Traffic Controllers union. Talk about hypocrisy! And the people still drank the Kool-aid.

5. Lech is one of the centuries greated people.

We could use a man like him here.

7. Lech Walesa is a anti-choice fucktard who wants to turn Poland...

into a theocracy. Who cares what he thinks?
