just like Dutch, bigger than life...Very cool.
Too bad communism is alive and well here in the United States.

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.
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.
I have said...on more than one occasion...that if this country is stupid enough to re-elect this madman or another one like him, I’m going to head to Hungary, the Czech Republic or Poland. They know and understand what it is like..and I doubt it will ever haopen there again. At least in my lifetime.
just like Dutch, bigger than life...I'm sure many people have noticed the trend where former Soviet satellite states take freedom more seriously that most people in the United States. They know the tyranny of communism.
The really sad thing is that people here are not grateful to have a leader like Ronald Maximus. He was a true visionary.
The Hungarians have been there and do get it. We’re going there voluntarily and obliviously.

The 180 kilograms (400 pounds) and 2.18 meter (7 feet, 2 inches) tall bronze statue honors Reagan at the Freedom Square in central Budapest to mark his efforts to free the people of Hungary from the yoke of communism.
Also this year in Budapest...
BUDAPEST, Hungary (KABC) — Elvis Presley has been named an honorary citizen of Budapest for his support of Hungary’s anti-Soviet revolution of 1996.
Budapet’s city council made the announcement Wednesday, nearly a month after municipal authorities named a small park after The King. The park name was chosen by voting on the city website.
During his last appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show” on Jan. 6, 1957, Elvis sang a gospel standard, “Peace in the Valley,” which Sullivan said reflected the singer’s concern for Hungarians’ plight after the short-lived uprising. Sullivan said Elvis wanted people to make donations to be sent to Hungary.
