Good News For President McCarthy

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Authorities in Georgia have torn down another monument to Soviet dictator and native son Josef Stalin.

The monument in the town of Tkibuli in western Georgia was taken down two days after authorities tore down a bigger and more famous monument to Stalin in his hometown of Gori.

Both statues were brought down in the middle of the night in an apparent bid to avoid protests and media attention.

Stalin was born to a modest family of cobblers in 1878. Both monuments in his honor were erected before his death in 1953.

The Georgian government says a younger generation who have embraced Western ideals of freedom favors the dismantling of Stalin’s monuments.
Of course it was seen in The DC, the home of honor on the Internet.
