Ymarsakar,

“Do you actually think that’s going to work with the number of Americans who will use violence to protest such plans?”

Oh yeah, I forgot: We’re better than them; that’s why the fact that they refuse houses of worship of other religions in their states means we should show how morally elevated we are by not responding in kind, by letting them build their salt-in-wound mosque on Ground Zero.

As the tombstone might say:

HERE LIES
WESTERN CIVILIZATION
600 BC – 1988
THEY WERE BETTER THAN THEIR ENEMIES

I have nothing but contempt for your line of thinking.

“Reality requires real solutions. Not fantasy constructions.”

My irony meter just went permanently out of order.

Do you somehow think you sitting here in the US, will be able to tell what goes right or wrong in Egypt.

That was my original point, Ymar.

Richard Saunders.
According to the various news reports, the Egyptian Army is a highly-respected institution. Like in our country, far more respected than politicians and similar parasites.
So they’ll have a honeymoon until it becomes clear they can’t grow jobs, either, among other things.

It amazes me that the Egyptians are cheering, “Yay, we got rid of a military dictator and replaced him with a military dictatorshiip!

Why should American’s be concerned if the Egyptians set up an Islamic State when we set up Islamic states in Iraq and Afghanistan?

That’s an easy question to answer.

Americans are in Iraq and Afghanistan right now, working with them. Where are the Americans working in Egypt to make sure that when things go downhill, we’d know about it?

Do you somehow think you sitting here in the US, will be able to tell what goes right or wrong in Egypt.

Kolnai, thanks for the link, I hope Ferguson opened a few eyes among the believers.

It seems increasing easy to sum up Obama’s world:
Foreign Policy: Love me I’m not George Bush.
Health: I decide, you appreciate or you’re a bigot.
Debt: Look at me I’m for thrift now that I cannot spend anymore. BTW, what’s thrift?
Commerce: Money is evil, George Bush made money for oil.
Energy: Oil is evil, George made money for oil. Let’s not drill for oil. If you will green jobs they will come because I’m Barack Obama man g-d.
Law enforcement: Applicable only if victim is non-white. White bad, non-white good.
Illegal immigration: see above
Response to contempt court from Louisiana for not resuming drilling: I do not have to obey because I’m Barack Obama, man g-d, above the laws of mere mortals.
appointees: People who agree with me because I’m Barack Obama, man g-d.
all other aspects of government: love me, I’m Barack Obama, man g-d, and not George Bush.

and His supporters: He is Barack Obama, man g-d, and not George Bush, the big oil lackey and killer of whales and puppies.

I wonder why Obama doesn’t refer to himself in the 3rd person?

Upside to the Egyptian Revolution: They feel good about themselves while they starve, unable to purchase grain until they get money and food from Islamic nations hostile to te US

Downside to the Egyptian Revolution: They close the Suez Canal and stone homosexuals and adulterers with pieces broken from artifacts while getting money and food from Islamic nations hostile to the US.

ziontruths. If people are made to want something, then they want it. Culture, religion, education, all combine.
Marxists don’t have to learn. It’s the useful fools who are fooled by Marxists. As things become more and more obvious, it becomes harder for useful fools to insist on their foolishness. Eventually, moral preening seems less important than, say, survival. Moral preening is not more important than somebody else’s survival, it should go without saying, but it’s less important to the preening useful idiot than his very own, actual, obvious, right-in-his-face survival. Usually.
