From the Blogger New…
From the Blogger News Network comes this editorial by “Superhawk” about Bush’s trip to Georgia (the one near Russia, that is). After noting a news story about the huge outpouring of support from the gathered crowed, Superhawk asks:

Why is it that the people in countries that until just a few short years ago were groaning under the yoke of communist dictatorships seem to be the only ones who truly understand what Bush is fighting for in Iraq and around the world?

Are people in France, Germany, Scandanavia and elsewhere in the increasingly apt term “old Europe” smarter than their cousins in eastern Europe? Are they more resistant to American propaganda? Are they nuts?

I think it’s pretty clear that the people in the newly freed republics of eastern and central Europe see a kindred soul when they look and listen to George Bush. What sounds like empty rhetoric when the President speaks of freedom to the cynical mountebanks and dilletantes of western Europe and our own home-grown moonbats, those words have extraordinary meaning and resonate deeply among peoples who only recently experienced only oppression and brutality.

What do Georgians know that many American lefties don’t know? They know what it’s like to live under actual oppression, vs. those in the U.S. who think that somehow we’re living under the boot of some dictator.

A little perspective, people.
