Democracy's Number One Champion

Lately I have read in the comments here how reviled America is in other countries. I have always found this to be without merit. Sure there are anti freedom socialist/communist in other countries that salivate at the thought of any and all American Failures and shortcomings, That particular lunacy happens everywhere. not just here. Tonight while reading The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler I came across a wonderful and refreshing letter on a danish blog Showing the support that the President received,Largely unreported here,in that country while he was there recently.

Here is a translated snippet from the The Peace and Freedom Initiative post, as found at The Rotts Place.

Democracy's Number One Champion visits Denmark on July 6th.

Over the last four years he has toppled two dictatorships and brought democracy to 50 million people. He has turned a frontal assault upon the life, health, economy and life style of modern democracy around and turned it into a process bringing modernization and democratization to some of the darkest and most oppressed places on Earth.

One wouldn't know this if one were to listen to the media or the majority of politicians, for that matter. According to the ruling concensus regarding acceptable doctrine, Bush isn't capable of that sort of thing. He is, according to them, almost an imbecile, a trigger-happy cowboy, a fundamentalist Christian in the pocket of diabolical capitalists, a stuck up baboon and, not least of all, a deadly dangerous warmonger.

Churchill was also called a warmonger by some. But being called a warmonger didn't stop neither him nor Bush from fighting for freedom and democracy and, as a result, a more peaceful world (stable democracies don't start wars). Churchill was right about Naziism and Communism. Bush is very likely to be right about global terrorism. Passivity and forgiveness is rarely the answer when our core values are in danger.

Guess that rhetoric that they all hate us just doesn't hold much water after all huh?
