Thanks!

Very few people, outside of Hungary, know that nation's history. Actually, most people in the USA don't know much of anything at all about Hungary. So I just thought I'd post a very tiny history lesson on that nation, her people, and Victor Orban.

Orban, in the shadow of Sandor Petofi,one of Hungary's most revered fighters for freedom ( in the 1840s ) and best, most beloved poet, encapsulates Hungarians yearnings for freedom in his poem: RISE UP, MAGYAR. The last line of that poem reads as follows: We swear unto Thee*- that slaves we shall no longer be!

* The THEE in the poem refers to GOD, which is mentioned earlier in this poem.

It's a VERY stirring poem and one which all Hungarian children must learn, in school, to this day. And for those Americans whose ancestors can here from Hungary, it is still taught in the home.

I'm old enough to remember when Patriotism was taught in American schools.
