I was watching Fox News this morning and this conservative guy was saying this is good for Egypt and hopes other countries follow suit. The reason is because it will turn the countries into a democracy. Is this wrong?

And if the majority want sharia law, then there’s your answer to democracy.

Yes, it is wrong. Only an idiot is going to think Egypt will turn into a democracy. The only parties will soon be the Muslim Brotherhood and whoever they permit to be a party. The Democrats have done a great job towards turning the Middle East into a new Caliphate.

When the Middle East embargoes oil to get the Great Satan out of the Middle East, what happens to the American economy?

Zero is going to make Jimmy look good.

A democracy is when 3 wolves and 2 sheep get to vote on what they're having for dinner. A constitutional republic establishes that you cannot eat sheep.

Guess which one we are (or were)...

Ask the average Iranian on the streets of Tehran - this will not end well for any but the radicals.

The Constitutional Convention rejected democracy as a candidate governmental system for the fledgling United States. They observed that democracy had been tried many times in history, and had always turned bloody or collapsed.

Other systems were evaluated over the summer, and they settled on a a constitutional representative republic.

It was a huge insult to call someone a democrat in the convention. They equated democracy with mob rule.

The international symbol for democracy is the guillotine.
