Yesterday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. I received a phone call from a person in a small village in northern Thailand asking about the election results. It was 3:30 a.m. there! He could not sleep because he was concerned about the outcome. I told him that President Bush had just made his victory speech and an hour before Senator Kerry had acknowledged his loss. This citizen of Thailand was very happy to hear that. He said he could now go back to bed to get some sleep. Sometimes we get the idea that most of the rest of the world dislikes us and our President. Not true! The liberal elite in Europe are the same as the liberal elite here in the U.S. They are the darlings of the media and as a result, that is all we hear about. The truth is that many ordinary citizens around the world hold to the traditional moral values that many of us do. They recognized that President George W. Bush holds to those same values without compromise. We will never change the liberal elite, but we must remember that there are many ordinary people around the world that get it. They love us, our President, and what we have sacrificed and shared with the world so that they can enjoy the safety and freedom that we have here.
