Her family arrived here in the early 1900's and lived in a makeshift house made of sod when they first arrived. They had nothing. But they still preferred it here. And although she worked as a maid and never graduated from high school, she lived to own her own home and reap the benefits of FDR's safety net. She never took Social Security or Medicare for granted. She was smart, battle tested, and practical. She didn't blame others for her problems.

Today I can't help but feel that she would be proud of her former compatriots. Congratulations, Hungary!
Here's to freedom and Democracy!!
