Back then, the UN and the US Foreign Policy Community had an absolute mania for decolonizing Africa and other parts of the world. Goldwater called this a fool's errand. He pointed out that some people aren't ready for democracy, and for cultural and religious reasons they may never be. He predicted that the mania for democratization would only create a playground for the CIA and KGB. He argued for a hard-headed approach where it would be best for a nation to be ruled by a benevolent dictator, and one preferably loyal to the US, not the Soviet Union.
He was excoriated by the Mainstream Media for "wrong-headed thinking" and an "unprogressive" approach. But history proved him right. Islam will have to go through something like the Enlightenment before it can support democracy.
McCarthy always hits the nail on the head.
People need to face reality.
Highly recommended reading for everyone.
McCarthy’s longer article:

uh, because Obama IS aligned with committed enemies of America and the west (and Israel)
He shares their values
He has open members of the muslim brotherhood working as advisors in his inner circle, and this continues- no accelerates - a long long period of cultivation and penetration
Long - but worth reading

Good luck to the Egyptian military and people as they give no sanctuary or quarter to the MB.
The Muslim Brotherhood are like cockroaches, the solution is Raid.
The military is the only chance at what? Sisi is a radical who hates Israel.
Spot on. Andy McCarthy knows the Islamic butchers better than most. The sad reality is that Egypt now realizes that freedom and Islam are incompatible. The only way any individual freedom can exist in a country occupied by Muslims is to beat the radical Islamist element into submission. They respect nothing but brut force and there is no way they will peacefully co-exist without constantly being forced into submisson.
Objective....Keep the Suez Canal OPEN or watch the entire world dive into recession or depression and possible war. If that oil route is cut off once again the results world wide will be devastating. One, repeat one ship sunk at the right place in the canal is all it will take...and the bad guys know it.
It’s right there in his book. PG. 162. He said he was going to side with the muzzies, you know, his brothers.
through the years it has always seemed that the Egyptian military has been a hedge against Islamic radicalism and outright government dictatorship.
No Arab nation can survive unless ruled by a dictator. We just need to go back to the old days and make sure it’s OUR dictator.
