I trust Freepers, not Politico or the so called “Media”.
It sounds like Glenn Beck needs to hold another million person gathering at Washington DC just to let Bill Kristol know in no uncertain terms that most conservatives listen to Beck and a few conservatives put up with Kristol.
Bill Kristol is a classic neo-conservative. I don’t agree with classifying neo-cons as RINOs, but I do agree that they don’t hold the same positions as us paleo-cons.
Glenn takes the point of view that Mubarak needs to go but the islamokazis and left are trying to create a power vacuum by forcing him out rather than waiting till September.
Kristol is a faux conservative.
Beck is right on target.
I had come to the same conclusion, that the left was starting to work with the islamists. Its actually not new, when you consider that the old arab terrorists were effectively soviet agents and used soviet eastern europe as their safe zone.
Egypt and Iraq were firmly part of the Warsaw Pact back then, as was Khadaffi and Arafat and the Black September goons and all the rest.
We spent a lot of effort trying to pry Egypt and Iraq away from the soviets, with mixed success. As late as both Gulf wars Iraq was still receiving intel and military assistance from the Russians, after all. We did tend at one time to look the other way on movements that were saudi or turkish backed, but it seems now all those have morphed together and united against us in any case.
I noticed all along that Al Qaedists like Bin Ladin and company seemed to have a marxist understanding of economics, and I assumed that would be thanks to their university educations, what else would it be? Its not like they are teaching Hayek and Von Mises these days.
So they have always been allied, and they are in agreement on more than one level.
Even if Mubarak stays until Sept. it’s still a highly dangerous situation (although not quite as dangerous as if he’s forced out right now). The elections could very well bring disaster, as it did in Gaza.
The other journalists who met Palin offered similarly effusive praise: Michael Gerson called her “a mix between Annie Oakley and Joan of Arc.” The most ardent promoter, however, was Kristol, and his enthusiasm became the talk of Alaska’s political circles. According to Simpson, Senator Stevens told her that “Kristol was really pushing Palin” in Washington before McCain picked her. Indeed, as early as June 29th, two months before McCain chose her, Kristol predicted on “Fox News Sunday” that “McCain’s going to put Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, on the ticket.” He described her as “fantastic,” saying that she could go one-on-one against Obama in basketball, and possibly siphon off Hillary Clinton’s supporters. He pointed out that she was a “mother of five” and a reformer. “Go for the gold here with Sarah Palin,” he said. The moderator, Chris Wallace, finally had to ask Kristol, “Can we please get off Sarah Palin?”
The next day, however, Kristol was still talking about Palin on Fox. “She could be both an effective Vice-Presidential candidate and an effective President,” he said. “She’s young, energetic.” On a subsequent “Fox News Sunday,” Kristol again pushed Palin when asked whom McCain should pick: “Sarah Palin, whom I’ve only met once but I was awfully impressed by—a genuine reformer, defeated the establishment up there. It would be pretty wild to pick a young female Alaska governor, and I think, you know, McCain might as well go for it.” On July 22nd, again on Fox, Kristol referred to Palin as “my heartthrob.” He declared, “I don’t know if I can make it through the next three months without her on the ticket.”

The first paragraph on islamic socialism from Wiki.
>>Islamic socialism is a term coined by various Muslim leaders to meet the demand for a more spiritual form of socialism. Muslim socialists believe that the teachings of the Qur’an and Muhammad are compatible with principles of equality and the redistribution of wealth. But some orthodox Islamic scholars declare various socialist practices, such as the confiscation of private property, to be oppressive and against Islamic teachings<<
Right on, Beck. Of course Kristol doesn’t understand what conservatism is - he’s a neoconservative, a ‘new conservative’, intellectual descendants of former Marxists, come to tell those always-conservative what conservatism is to become now. They make as much sense as an ‘old-fashioned modernist’.
Beck must be off his meds.
Somehow it is bad to want the best for Egypt. No one knows how this will turn out. Not Beck or Kristol.
BINGO!
we watch fox regularly,
and kristol has melted into the washington establishment.
Since Obama was actively supporting McCain, your comment has merit. Before Obama was officially the nominee, McCain had been savaged by Democrat "Birthers." The Democrats were correct. They became quite well informed about the constitutional requirements for natural born citizenship, and published dozens of cogent analysis, and almost as many analysis by legal academics, the most complete being U of Arizona's Professor Gabriel Chin's "Why Senator John McCain Cannot Be President: Eleven Months and a Hundred Yards Short of Citizenship"
Only those inside know when Hillary lost the party's support in favor or Obama, but in February and again in April 2008 Obama's team, Claire McCaskill and Pat Leahy respectively sponsored a bill and a resolution to pretend that McCain's issue had been resolved - Panama's Coco Solo was not made sovereign territory until a year after McCain's birth, and he was born about 100 yards off base in any case, thus Professor Chin's title. All senators signed Pat Leahy's bill, in which Leahy, in hearings agreed with testimony form HSA Director and Judge Michael Chertoff:
“My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy."
You could call that campaigning for Obama if McCain knew he could not win. It also served the purpose that no Republican dared to raise eligibility issues concerning Obama, who was more clearly ineligible than McCain. Most legal conjecture has either a supreme court interpretation of natural born citizenship including the foreign born children of U.S. citizens in the military (which just happens to be the title of Claire McCaskill's Feb 2008 Senate Bill - which failed to pass). The more direct approach, and more proper, is to amend the Constitution to include McCain's class (which is this writer's preference). But our framers absolutely abhored allowing someone whose parents did not have sole allegiance to our Constitution gain the power of the presidency. We are learning how correct they were.
Glen Beck is absolutely correct about the socialist/ Islamist alliance. The Soviets were very sophisticated in fomenting religious fervor to destabilize the Middle East, and created an extensive training program for potential Muslim leaders, such as the the East German School from which Obama's Muslim cousin, Odinga, now sharing the leadership with the landslide Christian winner of the presidential election in Kenya. Muslim Odinga's son's name is Fidel. The Soviets established a KGB agent as Gamil Nasser's defense secretary.
Beck's best source is David Horowitz, who knows the far left from the inside, having been an editor at Ramparts, where Obama's Energy Secretary, John Holdren, was a frequent contributor. Horowitz' book, Unholy Alliance, is a blueprint for the Marxist/Islamist alliance. Horowitz must still have connections with the Marxist inner circle of which he was once an elite member. (Horowitz' "Shadow Party", while it didn't anticipate Obama's accession, was correct about most everything else, and provides background on many of Obama's cadre from the perspective of their old left activities.
It is unfortunate that Beck has been taken in by Zuhdi Jasser, a presumably peaceful, but observant Muslim. Glen hasn't asked the right questions. Zuhdi, when cornered, admits that he subscribes to the Mohammed's "blood liable", and does not accept Israel's right to its homeland. Jasser is indeed a a master of Tacquia, calling Israel "Occupied territory." Search Pam Geller, whose interview exposing Jasser is on line, or the merciless and brilliant Debbie Schlussel, who exposed Jasser years ago. Jasser would say nothing about the young Christian convert fighting the courts and Islamic organizations. Rifka Barry, whose death was a certainty had she been returned, who had already lost her right eye to her brother, and who would have been killed for apostasy by her father or her brother - and honor killing.
Beck has done much good. Let's just assume he and his research staff are naive. Beck's blindness about our greatest Chief Justice, John Marshall, our first Chief Justice, John Jay, the heroic abolitionist judge and congressmen who initiated and drove the 14th Amendment, must be assumed to be the virtual certainty that using his public platform to expose the ineligibility of Obama would certainly result in injuries, and Beck would be charged with incitement.
The U.S. owns the Egyptian military. We need to simply tell them to put on lid on what is going on now, enforce a smooth transition and not allow the Muslim Brotherhood any seat at the table. The MB in power in Egypt is the second domino after Iran. If it comes under the same power as Hamas, things will REALLY be dicey.
Wnating/not wanting the best for Egypt is irrelevant, the point is the pooh-poohing of the Muslim Brotherhood. Anyone who says that involving them in the process is a good thing just doesn’t know what they clearly stand for, OR has a different agenda.
Do you have a link for those numbers? Thanks.
I’d like to slap Krystal up side the head to loose that flim he chooses to waller over
