A Continued Defender of Freedom

President Bush understands freedom as our founders penned it in the Declaration of Independence. His speeches on freedom, liberty, and democracy are inspiring to me. I am proud we have such a president in office that holds the true spirit of America.

In his recent speech commemorating 50th anniversary of the Hungarian Revolt, he praised the Hungarian people for standing against oppression and sacrificing to obtain the freedom they now enjoy.

“The lesson of the Hungarian experience is clear: Liberty can be delayed, but it cannot be denied. The desire for liberty is universal, because it is written by our Creator into the hearts of every man, woman, and child on this Earth. And as people across the world step forward to claim their own freedom, they will take inspiration from your example, and draw hope from your success.”

True freedom takes time to establish because in lives in the hearts of individuals. So when these individuals band together and are willing to stand and sacrifice for their liberty- freedom triumphs in that nation and opposition is swept away by the flame of freedom. I believe this is happening in Iraq as the Iraqi people stand against those who would rob them of their freedoms. We need to continue to stand by their side and allow the fledgling democracy to strengthen itself against tyranny so that the germ of freedom does not die.

Accuracy in the Media also published and article on President Bush and Freedom which highlights his recent visit to Hungary and another speech he gave in Latvia last year.

It is an excellent article.
