Iraqi Election II

First of all, congratulations to the Iraqi people.

What a historic day in world history!

As Iraqis went to the polls in huge numbers- even with the spectre of beheading by terrorists to vote- these brave people proved once again that the basic human desire is for freedom.

I'm amazed by the jubilation of the voters, when one gets a daily dose of negativity by the MSM (again, heretofore known as the Mainstream Media), one might think those people didn't care about voting, or liberty. What a mistake.

Here we think an election is a success if 55% percent of voters turn out, and the only thing we had to fear was a line.

That's why I went on-line and started this blog 1-29-05, so I would be on record as predicting exactly what happened Sunday.

Only the MSM, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, and Mark Dayton could not see this coming.

O.K., maybe the Iraqis' didn't rise up after we initially deposed Saddam, but this is the reaction I knew was coming.

We Americans often take our freedom for granted, so personally, I always look to our Founding Fathers as a barometer into history, which then explains the future.

Our Founding Fathers, most of whom were very well off, risked everything- including their lives, fortunes, & "sacred honor" for liberty, and took on what was at that time the world's only superpower: Mother England.

I think we all need to be aware of all the sacrifice others have made, so that we can be so free today that our biggest worry is what's for lunch.

This historic election bodes well for the future of the world; the wheels of democracy turn slowly, but they are relentless.

Why some self-loathing American liberals don't think Muslims deserve, or can handle, self-determination will precisely be their own doom.

As free Iraqi citizens become more numerous, hopefully followed by their neighbors; the American liberal who's on the wrong side of history, is heading for the endangered species list.
