Donald Trump’s victory marks the end of “liberal non-democracy” and will allow the West to break free from the “captivity of ideologies” that distort reality through political correctness, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said.
The election outcome indicates a shift in popular thinking in the West, Orbán said in remarks made yesterday evening on a trip to London, and this morning at a conference organised by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
During his one-day official visit to Britain’s capital, the Central European leader commented that the Republican candidate’s big win represents a victory for freedom of thought in the Western world.
He told reporters: “The world has always benefited whenever it has managed to release itself from the captivity of currently dominant ideological trends. In my view, this is what has happened just now in the United States.
“This also gives the rest of the Western world the chance to free itself from the captivity of ideologies, of political correctness, and of modes of thought and expression which are remote from reality: the chance to come back down to earth and see the world as it really is.”
This morning in Budapest, Hungary’s Prime Minister struck a similar tone, announcing that today is “the second day of a historic event, in which Western civilisation appears to successfully break free from the confines of an ideology”.
Though not explicitly referring to Trump’s victory in the November 8 election, Orbán told the conference: “We are living in the days where what we call liberal non-democracy – in which we lived for the past 20 years – ends, and we can return to real democracy.
“We can call problems by their name and find solutions not derived from an ideology but based on pragmatic, creative thinking rooted in common sense,”

Victor Orban — your mission, if you decide to accept it:
Dissolve the EU, replace with the only multicultural institution that ever really worked in Europe:
THE HAPSBURG EMPIRE!
A century without an emperor is enough. Restoration by 2018!
Orban gets it.
Mr Trump will have the pulpit. He has to, he must, drown out the loud voices of the violent left.
Mr. Trump MUST, in my opinion, maintain a propaganda barrage based on the theme that WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, along with what that means. Using the propaganda of political correctness, the cultural marxists have converted the nation into infantile tribes. Mr Trump must convince a much larger percentage of the nation that we have a common legacy that will be good for all of them.
I consider this propaganda effort to be far more important than making legislative gains, as important as they are.
NO More Political Correct Crap!
Ultimately, history always records the exact periods of time and the means by which nations become free, and it also records the period when artful and designing officials lead their citizens into yielding up their liberty.
America's history will be no different! We can read the ideas and principles upon which this Republic was formed--ideas rooted in enduring principles of right and wrong and of Creator-endowed, thus unalienable, life, rights, laws and liberty.
As we allow imperfect persons who have gained positions of power to confuse us, to lead us to yield up our liberty, then we deny our inheritance and lay the burdens of our foolishness and constitutional illiteracy on those who will follow, and they will judge us, as well they should.
The choice is between individual freedom and slavery to government--a tyrannical form of slavery.
The formula structured by the Constitution of the United States and laid out in its philosophical foundations--as asserted in the 1776 Declaration of Independence from an overly-powerful government administered by King George III--were explained by America's Founders.
Their writings and speeches, as well as the wisdom writings from previous defenders of liberty, are available online.
THE FEDERALIST, that collection of 85 essays explaining the Constitution's provisions and protections, now can be read in every home and school as a means of enlightening a public which has become too willing to yield their Creator-endowed liberty to a collection of would-be tyrants who call themselves "progressives," but are, in fact taking American citizens back to the bondage from which their ancestors fled in other parts of the world.
Several years ago, a business man by the name of James R. Evans, in his book, "America's Choice: Twilight's Last Gleaming or Dawn's Early Light," suggested 7 simple principles which every citizen could benefit from considering as they watch the so-called "progressives," now led by Obama/Clinton, attempt to enslave them through legislation and Executive Orders.
"1. Does this legislation or idea increase, or decrease, individual freedom and creativity?"2. Does this legislation or idea increase, or decrease, the power of some citizens over other citizens?
"3. Does this legislation or idea recognize that the persons who will exercise the power are themselves imperfect human beings?
"4. Does this legislation or idea recognize that government is incapable of creating wealth?
"5. Does this legislation or idea authorize taking from some what belongs to them, and giving it to others to whom it does not belong?
If 'thou shalt not steal' is a valid commandment, can we assume that it is meant to apply only to individuals and not to government (which is made up of individuals), even if those persons in power pass laws which sanction such redistribution of the wealth of others?'"6. Does this legislation or idea encourage, or discourage, the very highest level of morality and responsibility from the individual?
. . .when government makes actions 'legal' by some citizens at the expense of other citizens, the result may be behavior which would not be considered possible by individuals acting alone."7. Does this legislation or idea propose that the 'government' do something which the individual cannot do without committing a crime?"**
**7 principles drawn from James R. Evans book, "America's Choice," and reprinted in a Stedman Corporation (Asheboro, NC) booklet entitled "I'm Only One, What Can I Do?"
The simplicity of these questions and of the core message of the following words by some of America's Founders might jar some citizens into a recognition of what "progressives" and this Administration are doing to the future of liberty for their posterity:
"...nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John Adams"This was a favorable moment to shut and bar the door against paper money." [This statement referred to a proposed provision in Article I, Section 8, that would have read 'and emit bills of credit (paper money) of the United States,' which the Founders rejected by an overwhelming vote.] - James Madison- Notes of the Federal Convention 1787
"...there have always been those who wish to enlarge the powers of the General Government. There is but one safe rule...confine (it) within the sphere of its appropriate duties. It has no power to raise a revenue or impose taxes except for the purposes enumerated in the Constitution....Every attempt to exercise power beyond these limits should be promptly and firmly opposed." - Andrew Jackson's Valedictory
"...experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government), those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny; and it is believed that the most effectual means of preventing this would be, to illuminate...the minds of the people...to give them knowledge of those facts, which history exhibiteth. History, by apprizing them of the past, will enable them to judge of the future...it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men; it will enable them to know ambition under every disguise it may assume; and knowing it, to defeat its views...." - Jefferson's Bill for the more general diffusion of knowledge for Virginia
"Although all men are born free, slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant--they have been cheated; asleep--they have been surprised; divided--the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson?...the people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it....It is universally admitted that a well-instructed people alone can be permanently free." - James Madison
"These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." - Thomas Jefferson-First Inaugural Statement of Principles of Good Government
The nation has pined for an end to the submission hold of PC for 20 years. PC is shackles, of the mind, of the tongue, of the word. It causes men to take a step back into the shadow, to look around before speaking, to fear for a career lost, to stop themselves, to apologize.
PC is the institutionalization of weakness, the insecure threatening the competitor, blame-shifting, making excuses, settling for less and expecting others to come down to that level. It is a reign of terror without the guillotine(so far).
To Political Correctness. May it end with its former slaves mocking it.
A century without an emperor is enough. Restoration by 2018!
You might want to bone up on your European history. Hungary was the redheaded stepchild of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. They want the Habsburgs back in power about as much as we want the Queen of England back in power.
The Hungarian half of the empire was dominated by a small percentage of the Hungarian people...a bit like how the slave states of the US in 1860 were dominated by a small elite of the large plantation owners.
My grandfather came to the US before WWI from Austria-Hungary. His obituary says he was a native of Austria, although he didn't speak a word of German. The point is that a lot of the peasants did not care about the ethnic identities that the intellectuals were up in arms about, and if the empire had made sensible reforms it might have lasted longer.
That, and not annexing Bosnia and Herzegovina.
