This is worse than 1979. I fear this is an Arch Duke Ferdinand moment.

Demint is a great conservative, but he has not earned the battle scars, nor has he the street smarts that Governor Palin has. How many battles has he won?

Palin is a Rustic, like Congressman David Crockett was in his day.Demint would make a great VP.

You are comparing apples to dildos.

This is not a religious, ideological or single group rebellion.

They like Americans and Brits. Hell, half of all Egyptians are already in the USA or the UK.

Neither was the Iranian Revolution when it started out, but, Islamist are the best organized and took control after the government fell.

“Obama should be very careful on how this is handled”

He’d best hit the links and think about it!

BUMP, BUMP, BUMP! This was critical two years ago, it is IMPERATIVE NOW!

The "REGIME" that put this administration into power (Dem sycophants and financiers) and keeps it from proper scrutiny (propaganda government controlled media masquerading as independent) are destroying the greatest country on God's green earth.

No, sorry, his team is too busy working on responses to his enemies list (Palin is first, then of course Bachmann).

In the words of that great philosopher Thomas Jefferson:

“Democracy guarantees that people will get the government they deserve.”

They are far away from democracy in Egypt. Even if the military joins the protest and Mubarak is gone. I know these people. The majority is not interested in Sharia law. 10% are Coptic Christians.

There is also a big difference between Sunni and Shiite (Iranian) Muslims.

Than again in the words of that other great poet and philosopher William Joel:

“You may be wrong, but for all I know, you may be right.”

This is why central planners are wrong 99.9% of the time. Unintended consequences. It may fall under the category of “be careful what you wish for...”

The first Iranian hostage crisis dragged on for 444 days because that’s how long Carter had left in office. And I do mean DRAGGED... day in and day out for 444 days, without letup. The press loved reminding Americans every hour on the hour just how impotent big bad America was.

This time around, Obama has 724 days left in office... Groan... In all likelihood, there would be many more hostages than in ‘79 and the hajis could publicly execute one of them every single day and we all know Hussein wouldn’t do diddly about it. ‘79 will seem like the good old days.

That's what I am wondering!!!!

Either way, it's not great, but one is definitely worse than the other.
