Remember as you watch the clip that the CNN anchor is interviewing a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. So it’s not as though the anchor is trying to give some “fair and balanced” counterargument in some adversarial interview. Not that that would excuse this even then:
“I’m asking about the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that has tirelessly, and in many cases quite courageously, campaigned in elections, it has campaigned against the government, it has campaigned on behalf of the poor in Egypt. It has a long, long history in that country. What role should it have now?”

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 9:18pmDo not get me wrong, fellow Americans. If you love the Constitution and our capitalist network, you and I are one in the same. But, it is hard to believe that collectively we will just sit at our computers and blog about this or that….doing nothing constructive in the process other than solidifying the parameters of the network that confines our ability to act apon what we dissent from. TRANSLATION: As a group, we should all get off our asses and complain OUTSIDE of our homes/offices. And, not just at the lazy person who parks in the fire lane at the grocery store, either. How much more turmoil (on our soil and globally) is it going to take before you act? I know many of us here relentlessly call/email our ‘representatives’…I am not downing any of us here……

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 9:05pmThe left holds more water for words than for actions. That is backwards from what reality would dictate. Obviously, that is because before the actual tyranny can become ‘the way’ it has to be SOLD to mindless dolts. Egypt has an illiteracy rate that cultivates the same kind of ignorance CNN advocates via its propagandist style of reporting.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 8:30pmI am scared, man. Egypt will become a stronghold for Muslim extremism. Much like Syria or Pakistan. They will deny it but clearly the basis of the country will be fundamentalism. I think it is typical of extremist in this country to lash out at a peacefull religon that holds the moral standard of our country together while the same time supporting “the equal rights” of radical extremist religous principle. Certainly those that spread by force while oppressing the rights of every social class forcefully. That ideology exits within the movement and is spreading eastward. It scares me.

Many who seek to destroy us have no fear of death what so ever. For many of them, death is probably seen preferable to the lives they live daily. The are programmed to believe that WE are the cause of that misery. It a lie that is akin to mental illness in its scope and practice.
We, on the other hand, have much to lose. Our enimies want us to believe that we should feel guilty for our quality of life. Again, THE UGLIEST LIE in history putrefies the air.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 8:18pmAgreed. Before the anchorman fawned all over the ‘brother’, he should have done his homework to discover that Egypt has banned the Muslim Brotherhood, although lately they‘ve tolerated them as long as they don’t take an open role. According to their own laws, they cannot be part of any newly formed government. I can‘t see Egypt’s Arab neighbors being too happy about them. But we’ll see who is in charge when the dust settles.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 9:15pmThe only reason that reporter is probably still walking around, and not strung up, is because he has now become the mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood. Now he can spread their propaganda in the US to sway us to their side. This is like healthcare – it definitely needs to be overhauled but not necessarily replaced. Hillary is way over her head on this situation, I’m afraid, and Obama is even worse, he would probably bow to them. If we had a hand in creating this situation, charges need to be brought, and arrests made. Our citizens are at risk.

Posted on January 30, 2011 at 9:35pmThese people have a worldview that causes them to see the Muslim cause as a struggle against oppression. In there humanistic utopia that they worship in this world it is a step in the right direction. That’s why the “Left” has such praise and sympathy for Islam and Muslims even though most true Muslims would persecute their pagan practices very harshly. They see their revolution minded change of their government and cheer because they want the same thing here. They see theirs as a struggle against the “oppressive” capitalistic system. They view a traditional America with Judeo-Christian morals and laws as a much greater threat than a militant Islam. So the old saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
