Mobile posting has a high chance of a double post.
It seems like only yesterday that Hungary was, by force, an enemy. It’s great to see this kind of freedom in action.
From the article: “It’s better to have two Ronald Reagan statues than none at all,” said Marton Baranyi, co-creator of a Hungarian website dedicated to Reagan. “Reagan is a role model for Hungarians.” - ‘Nuff said.

Oh, I see. lol.
Been a lot of that lately.
Niiice! Thanks. Makes me proud. I miss him.
From the site:
“We Hungarians have nothing to do with Reagan,” the Hungarian Communist Workers Party said in a statement. “During his life, he served not our interests but those of ‘American Big Capital’ bent on ruling the world.”
Even though they think you gotta quote a toad, at least they identified the croaker as communist filth. Somewhat more transparent than our useless msm.
Some do get it. What a terrific gesture to a man who did so much to bring down crushing oppression to Eastern Europe. I see Condi was there at the dedication.

They know and understand what it is like..and I doubt it will ever haopen there again. At least in my lifetime.

The Hungarians have been there and do get it. We’re going there voluntarily and obliviously.
pong
Some things warrant a double post. Even through accident. Don't feel too bad.
Within 5 years’ time Obama’s statue will be unveiled in Nairobi.
One for the Gipper.
