So, once again we see our very predictions coming to life in Egypt. There was a reason, and a very good one at that, for Hosni Mubarak’s treatment of the lunatics he caught colluding with the Muslim Brotherhood. Just like the Shah, who found a similar fate at the hands of America’s left three and a half decades ago, Mubarak was declared to have been an enemy of, “human rights.” This was despite the fact that he was actually on the front lines protecting his secular population from those who would seek to destroy them entirely. Once again we learn the hard way about what a failure to learn from history brings about.
Behold, the greatly improved champion of, “human rights,” in Egypt. We were promised by Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid that the Muslim Brotherhood was nothing more than a social services organization that built schools and hospitals, and really, really, cared about the plight of the typically oppressed Egyptian Citizen. So, at the urging of young hipster democrats, the self important new aged tech geeks, and those self anointed elite class of pseudo intellectual dolts who believed totally, the leftist indoctrination received via the diversity studies courses so thoughtfully provided by a useless Department of Education, we now have an Egypt that slaughters its now reduced to 7 Million Coptic Christian population, and imprisons any who dare to contemplate leaving the Religion of Peace.
From the Fox News Online report:
The 15-year prison sentence given to a woman and her seven children by an Egyptian court for converting to Christianity is a sign of things to come, according to alarmed human rights advocates who say the nation’s Islamist government is bad news for Christians in the North African country.
A criminal court in the central Egyptian city of Beni Suef meted out the shocking sentence last week, according to the Arabic-language Egyptian paper Al-Masry Al-Youm. Nadia Mohamed Ali, who was raised a Christian, converted to Islam when she married Mohamed Abdel-Wahhab Mustafa, a Muslim, 23 years ago. He later died, and his widow planned to convert her family back to Christianity in order to obtain an inheritance from her family. She sought the help of others in the registration office to process new identity cards between 2004 and 2006. When the conversion came to light under the new regime, Nadia, her children and even the clerks who processed the identity cards were all sentenced to prison.
Samuel Tadros, a research fellow at Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, said conversions like Nadia’s have been common in the past, but said Egypt’s new Sharia-based constitution “is a real disaster in terms of religion freedom.”
During the spring of 2010, I got into an argument online with one of those organized tech geek geniuses who supported the entire mess of what we then called the, “Arab Spring.” He assured me that this time, while it may have appeared to look exactly like Iran in 1977, would turn out differently. His reasoning was that we got us an internet now, and Al Gore’s, (sarcasm definitely intended,) gift to humanity would change the dynamic. Instant access to information would keep the young democrats in control of what they had wrought. The Muslim Brotherhood would not inflict Sharia upon a defenseless citizenry in Egypt, as they were not in the majority anyhow. Strange thing about this internet thing though, lies spread as quickly as the truth does, and once again we learn the hard way that knives do indeed cut two ways.
So here we are three years later, and guess what. The Muslim Brotherhood is not an organization made up of frustrated social workers looking to help the Middle East’s poor and disaffected. The religion of peace is not interested in peace by any stretch of the imagination. Once again, those doe eyed useful idiots known as the young democrats that fomented the revolution, were among the very first to be executed by the Mullahs who practice Sharia. Any non Muslims in the formerly secular country will be persecuted, executed, and reduced out of any viable political opposition. The new people in charge are thousands of times worse than anything the former people in charge were ever accused of. The major difference this time around is that rather than in just one Middle Eastern nation, as in Carter’s case, Barack Obama has allowed this to occur over the entirety of Northern Africa. Mali, Nigeria, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Bharain, Libya, and God knows where else, have all seen a very disturbing America aided take over by that very same group of social workers who flew planes into the World Trade Center and our Pentagon on September 11, 2001. In some instances, our soldiers actually fought along side of those very thugs.
Elections have consequences, and Barack Obama is the stark example of this. We have four more years of a dangerously naive foreign policy awaiting us, and the world will be a far more dangerous place, where ever you are as a result of it. Even if you oppose and succeed in the prevention of all of the Bamster’s nominations, he has binders full of bad picks to replace them with. Like it or not, it will be someone he nominates to hold each and every one of the top executive positions within any part of the government, including our foreign services directorate. Such is the consequence of our inability to defeat him this November past. Again, for those who stayed home the previous two elections as some sort of protest, thanks a million, your guilt is double that of the Obama supporters.

Awesome article Flyover! It’s a shame more Conservatives are not speaking out on the persecution of the Coptic Christians. Instead Prominent Conservatives are more worried about spreading Democracy to Muslims.
@ Rodan:
I don’t think that it is right to call John McCain and Lindsey Graham “prominent Conservatives”. They are prominent “moderates”.
Obama does not have a foreign policy, he does have a full bore hate America policy.
Same results.

If you think the Republican Party needs to change, become a leader in your area and get things done and make connections outside your area and make a difference.
Ms tfk, I and many others in Texas have done so, we took on the Bush’s, the establishment, the kook nuts like David Barton, the RINO David Dewhurst and now we have the Texas Party on track to be the base leadership of correcting the failing of the U.S.A..

Easier said than done. I went to the meetings and saw who really calls the shots around here. The problems is at the national level, that is where the change has to happen.

our govt on both sides of the aisle are complicit in the murder of christians in africa and in the middle east.
my church (as well as other orthodox churches in the area) has helped our brothers in the coptic church get 3 families out of egypt. the hurdle wasnt money, it was visas from the US! our priest has talked on this ethic and religious cleansing at length from the pulpit. the metropolitan has visited our local congressmen and senator toomey on this subject.
the russians are getting as many orthodox as they can out of syria.
it makes me sick that the us govt is actively aiding the murder of christians yet again.

Frankly, it’s the only song of hers I know—and it was agonizing to write a parody to something that semi-literate, not to mention seeing her jerk around in the video. But since she’s performing at the inauguration, and is simply idolized by Michelle, I figured it was a necessary task.
BTW, there was a petition put up at the White House site to disinvite her—who knows why?—which was scrubbed by the White House because they wanted her. Note on that up at the Tatler too, which was what prompted me to do this.

Polls are mostly bullshit, that is true. They reflect the biases of the poll-takers more than they do public opinion most of the time. As an undergraduate, I had a course on polling. It is very hard to do a truly reflective poll, and very easy to do one that comes up with numbers that you like. No matter what the underlying question is. After all the demonization, though, I am surprised to see that the NRA ranked so highly.
