Beyond Words, Actions

Hezbollah loses in Lebanon. Perhaps our President Barack Obama's speech in Cairo did have an impact--some other real peace-loving people in the region figured out they were on their own against terrorists. Per Gateway Pundit terror-state Iran spent big in support of their terrorist clients Hezbollah and still lost--and despite numerous assassinations, presumably by Syria, of pro-democracy candidates and their relatives. And this happened despite terrorist-kissing Jimmy Carter being over there.

The Left gets hammered in European elections. NRO. Interesting outcome in Germany:
Using provisional figures as final votes were tallied, in Germany, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) suffered its worst ever result, with just 21% of the vote. The SPD has suffered badly from being locked in an uneasy coalition with the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) of Angela Merkel. Mrs Merkel will be relieved to take first place, but the CDU vote still fell compared with the Euro-elections in 2004. The big winners of the night in Germany were the pro-business liberals of the Free Democratic Party, whose vote almost doubled to 11%, perhaps gaining from free-market minded Christian Democrats worried by Mrs Merkel’s recent shifts leftwards.
More than a few are looking beyond our President Barack Obama's words to his actions.
