George W. Bush: “Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid are commitments of conscience, and so it is our duty to keep them permanently…”

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

We are grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.
