Jonsa Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Been watching the Egyptian "crisis" unfold like most of you. Flipping between Fox, CNN, MSNBC, BBC, CBC, CTV, AlJezeera. Seems that there are a lot of Republicans (including most of the talking heads on Fox) who beleive that Obama et al are doing a really lousy job. That mubarak leaving would most likely have disasterous effects on US interests and that the MB's acension to power would almost be guaranteed and that would really screw the US. While not coming out and blatantly stating it, but by heaping criticism and by fear mongering (forget facts) the Right seems to saying that continuing support of repressive regimes is better that democratic choice because change could be risky and the people could be exploited. (where they got that idea.....) Mindless conservatism from hypocritical constitution wavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(where they got that idea.....) Well, if it was good enough for "the Left" to support such a regime for 30 years as well, what's your point? Mindless conservatism from hypocritical constitution wavers. Sure it is...just like PM Chretien and continued Canadian support for Mubarak's Egypt.

Yukon Jack Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 History seems to be repeating itself: Jimmy Carter = Barack 0bama. Which one is more inexperienced and incompetent? Iran = Egypt. Maybe not quite, yet, but the Muslim Brotherhood is every bit as crazy as the acolytes of the Ayatollah Khomeni. Unemployment little bit better now than under the peanut guy, but how long? Respect for the United States in the world about the same as under the Nobel Peace prize winner. I mean Carter, not the equally undeserving Nobel Prize winner and current occupier of the White House. Is there a new Ronald Reagan on the horizon?

If you were unemployable, you'd probably be doing similar things with all your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitsy Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 There are many conservatives who support the people of Egypt in their awakening; the words of one of our neo-cons, William Kristol....... Nor is it a sign of health when other American conservatives are so fearful of a popular awakening that they side with the dictator against the democrats. Rather, it’s a sign of fearfulness unworthy of Americans, of short-sightedness uncharacteristic of conservatives, of excuse-making for thuggery unworthy of the American conservative tradition.http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/stand-freedom_541404.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yukon Jack Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Nope. All we've got this time around is Sarah Palin Don't give up just yet. Remember that Ronald Reagan was declared to be an "amiable dunce" by the same kind of intellectual idiots as the the ones who besmirch Sarah Palin today. http://www.mediaite.com/print/here-we-go-again-time-also-publishes-fake-sarah-palin-comment-about-christina-aguilera/ When dishonest crooks and despicable pieces of subhuman dirt have nothing to say, they always and invariably resort to lies.

Michael Hardner Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 That is great news. A near-bloodless coup so far, but there have been deaths unfortunately. Hopefully they can move forward to a new dawn without so much violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
