Jarosław Kaczyński: To sprawa pana Tuska

it only became "polish" territory through a post-war administrative
decision by the americans, british and the russians some 12 years
before his birth...

secondly... his ancestors are not polish, they are german
prussian, casubian, take your pick, i don't care, all i need to know
is that german is not polish, prussian is not polish and casubian
isn't either. tusk himself has said some neither nice nor clever (in
hindsight) things about "polishness" that he feels disgusted when he
thinks about "polishness"... you know which words i mean... i don't
feel disgusted when i think about "polishness"
and/or "australianness", i feel proud of both.

i said it before i will say it again... because he was brought up in
the polish environment (i mean schools, uni, after uni acitivities,
not home which was more german, prussian or casubian, take your
pick) he has acquired some polish national traits, that is all what
i've said. he is not a typical pole, typical true blue pole comes
from ancestors who lived somewhere between warta and bug, south of
torun and down to cracow. and when i say ancestors, i mean 3-4
generations back, i know and know of many cracow- and wroclaw-
born "poles" , whose ancestors come from vilnius and lvov
respectively. they are not true blue poles, lots of them behave more
like russians, lithuanians and ukrainians rahter than poles. but
this is a separate subject again and i've run of time for this
morning. the issue of my son's "australianness" is also an
interesting one and it is not as simple as you make it to be, but
will have to wait for its turn, if ever.

i hope i haven't upset you too much with all the above and you will
leave your emotions aside and will look into my arguments
rationally, forgetting for a moment that you are a staunched po
supporter.

don't forget about my advice to tusk, i know it's a good one not
just because it's free and i rarely give any free advice.

final comment - i don't mind if tusk becomes a president, the
current one is not the best one to say the least, but tusk has got
12 months to prove that he's worth the office... he needs to put his
head down and do the hard work and prove to the polish people that
he cares about them and wants to improve their livelihood rather
than keep hibernating in his current role, hoping that all the
others will stumble on their way and he will be the only one
standing when the day comes...


take care and relax, it's only a non-threatening exchange of views
and ideas...
