What Obama Should Have Said to the Egyptians

Salaam Aleikhum

Congratulations to the people of Egypt whose demonstrations have led to the resignation of president Mubarak.

We always say, be careful for the things you wish for, you may get them.

We Americans commend you for your lack of violence thus far, as well as the army for their show of restraint.

We wish Mubarak well and commend him for his decision to put the will of the people ahead of his own interests. He has been an ally to America and a stanchion of moderation.

For thirty years he has maintained peace by honoring Egypt’s treaty with Israel and has obviated the ability of other Arab states to wage war against Israel by removing Egypt from that equation.

Now that Egyptians can feel the hot breath of freedom and democracy in their faces I urge them to keep the following in mind.

Don’t blow it. No pun intended, but every time the iron fist of some Arab dictator unclenches, there is a preponderance and plethora of blowing shit up and chopping off heads.

Don’t be stupid, and don’t make me come over there.

Democracy is not a free for all.

There are those who will use freedom to undermine it for everyone and take control. The Nazis and the Commies took over from the democracies in place after the Kaiser and his cousin the Czar were booted.

Remember that democracy won’t work without proper systems with checks and balances in place.

Establish your representative government with limits of power in the tradition of the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

Thank the ancient Greeks and the America Revolution for giving birth to these ideals.

Thank Franklin Roosevelt for defeating the Nazis and making the world safe for democracy.

Thank Ronald Reagan for liberating the enslaved of Eastern Europe and showing the world what people can accomplish once freed.

And don’t forget to thank George W. Bush for liberating Iraq at the cost of American blood and setting the example for you to make your voices heard.

It wasn’t the Mullahs of Iran, or the Sheiks of Arabia, or the Soviet Commissars who made it possible for you to bring light into your darkness.

It was everything the United States of America has stood for over the last 235 years.

So don’t forget that, because the minute you do, everything you have will turn to shit and you will deserve it.

May God Bless a peaceful, secular, democratic Egypt and God bless America.

Dysfunctional Obama

Driftwood Diplomacy

by Steve McCann | Feb. 03, 2011

The demonstrations and the genuine possibility of a radical Islamic state eventuating in Egypt are in part the result of President Obama’s foreign policy being reactive and not proactive.  The United States has placed itself in an era of driftwood diplomacy.

It is often said that when a person has no core and in its place exists a muddled and uncertain belief system, he tends to float along from one crisis in life to another.  It is far easier to simply drift along with the current and allow it to take you wherever it may go.  These people will ultimately fail in any endeavor. 

When the leadership of a great country exhibits these traits, the consequences can be catastrophic.  Barack Obama, the product of a lifetime of leftist indoctrination, has as the basic foundation of his muddled and uncertain belief system a conviction that the United States has been the epitome of oppression and arrogance throughout its history.

Obama Backs Muslim Brotherhood–Anybody Surprised?

Egypt is falling into the wrong hands. The worldwide jihad controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, the radical terrorist group intent on spreading shar’ia law throughout the world, has just switched into high gear. And Obama is doing what radical Muslims do. He’s backing the terrorists who run the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Egyptians and Jordanians have taken to the streets in protest of their governments. When are Americans going to do the same here? We’re all distracted by bad winter weather while the Middle East is being reinvented by backward-thinking Islamofascists (I refuse to use the term Islamists. It’s hardly descriptive enough for these animals).

So, dominos are falling while Obama sits on his hands just as Jimmy Carter did in 1979:

ElBaradei’s Ultimatum to Mubarak: 48 Hours to Leave the Country

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(Israelnationalnews.com) Egyptian uprising idol Mohammed ElBaradei has ordered Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave the country by Friday – or he will be a “dead man walking” and not just a lame-duck president.

The aging Egyptian leader, reportedly suffering from cancer, insists he will remain in power. He said Tuesday night, “This dear country is my country … and I will die on its land.”

Egypt: Jimmy Carter Singing Same Old 1979 Tune

Jimmy Carter: The Al Sharpton of the Muslim World

It was 1979
Iran was in a political crisis when the US-friendly Mohammad Rezā Shāh Pahlavi (Shah of Iran), a Secular Muslim, was ousted from power and exiled after the 1979 Iranian Revolution led by the Islāmic fundamentalist Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Mostafawi Mousawi Khomeini.

The Shah was a moderate who lost the support from the Shi’a clergy. He was also tainted by alleged human rights abuses, but clearly far less threatening than the radical regime that moved in to fill the void. President Jimmy Carter (worst prez ever) chose to support the fundamentalists.

Carter offered no help to the Shah, and deflected his requests to enter the US save once for a much-needed surgical procedure. This is one of many reasons why Carter has earned the proper moniker, Father of Islāmic Terrorism.

So, in rolled the Islāmic Fundamentalist Regime with Carter’s blessing. Khomeini was an absolute nutcase on the order of Osama Bin Laden, the Muslim Brotherhood – and Jimmy Carter.

Egyptian ‘Moderate Democratic’ Leader Negotiating Coalition Government With Islamists

By Barry Rubin | January 31, 2011

As I’ve been warning, Muhammed al-Baradei, seen as the leading “moderate, pro-democratic” leader in Egypt is negotiating with the Muslim Brotherhood to form a national unity government. That doesn’t mean the negotiations will succeed but it gives a clear glimpse of what a post-Mubarak regime Egypt would mean.

As one shrewd analyst remarks, “al-Baradei being put in power by the Muslim Brotherhood is effectively like the ‘moderate’ Miqati being put in power [as prime minister] in Lebanon by Hizballah. What matters is that the Muslim Brotherhood and Hizballah are calling the shots.”

If you believe that al-Baradei, with no real political experience or any organized movement behind him, can dominate the Muslim Brotherhood, I have a bridge over the Nile I’ll sell you. But it’s even worse than that. It has been well-known in Egypt that much of al-Baradei’s presidential campaign has been run by the Brotherhood. He’s certainly not their puppet but to a considerable extent he is their pawn.
