there are no words
I stayed up pretty late last night watching the coverage, forced myself to switch around until I couldn't stomach MSNBC anymore and then stuck to FoxNews. CNN surprisingly wasn't so bad, but you could tell they were reporting the good news pretty reluctantly, not with the same joy that the Fox reporters obviously felt. And no, it doesn't show any sort of bias on the part of FoxNews, except their bias towards freedom and democracy over tyranny and terrorism. Which is really a bias we should all have, every one of us, everywhere in the world.
I agree totally with Dirty Harry and Roger Simon about Geraldo Rivera. Watching his reporting today gave me a new-found respect for the man, especially watching him tear up over the body of the innocent woman who did nothing but vote for the freedom of her own country.
I'm so proud of every single one of our servicemen, of our President, of the Iraqis who protected voters and of course the Iraqis who voted despite the threat of terrorism. I don't understand how the likes of John Kerry can still be so negative in the face of Iraqis dancing and singing in their polling places as they achieve a goal many of them couldn't imagine just a few years ago. I had my doubts about John Kerry before, but today they were confirmed, the man doesn't love his country or freedom or the troops, he loves himself and he loves the idea of being in power. He is a sick, despicable, bastard and he deserves to be shipped of to North Korea to live under crazy Kim for a few years until he appreciates his freedom and his country. And anyone else who refuses to admit that this was a wonderful thing deserves the same fate.
In a country where just a few years ago people had no hope of freedom, no hope of deciding their own fates, there was a first step today towards freedom and democracy. And they chose freedom despite their very lives being threatened, they chose to defy those who would scare them back into oppression, they brought their children with them to bear witness...Anyone who doesn't see this as a huge leap forward for the people of Iraq, for freedom in general and for humankind as a whole...well, you'll face your judgement one day. If you can't put your politics aside today then you're a pretty shitty person.
