The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi has been declared the winner of Egypt's presidential election run-off.

He won 51.73% of the vote, beating former PM Ahmed Shafiq, the Higher Presidential Election Commission said.

The head of the panel of judges, Farouq Sultan, said it had upheld some of the 466 complaints by the candidates, but that the election result still stood.

This is EXACTLY like when Iran went under Carter. The world will be feeling this for decades.

A piece from a while back reflects the similarities between Islam and Communism.

If you view these similarities as accurate, is it any wonder that some of the Liberals in power in our Government may be happy with the new Egyptian Government?

The initial post was about the 1932 German Presidential election. Which Hitler lost to Paul von Hindenburg. Hitler wasn’t appointed Chancellor until 30 January 1933.

Yeah, Hitler was horrible. We all know that. However, the German people didn’t elect him in the election referred to by that post.

"Arab Spring didn't turn it quite the way the Left had hoped, did it?"

It turned out EXACTLY as Obama had planned.. Our 'secret Muslim' propelling the Caliphate FORWARD!

I just heard Rep. Dwyer (R) praising the result in Egypt. Proof positive that some RINOS agree with obamas dream. The republican cesspool needs to be drained!

Strange ... I thought I saw some reports this went the other way earlier in the week or within the last four days.

There goes Israel's plans to attack Iran.

They can't afford a war on two fronts - and Obama won't help.

In “Audacity of Hope”, page 261, Barack Hussein Obama writes:

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Pray for Israel. . and our Sacred Republic.

My apology everyone. Now remembering how this went down. My post #49 is not accurate. Remembering the military stepped in and said the winner would be announced at a later time. This is now a later time. Sad day for the world (imho). Marking this date.

Actually, I think it is much more dire than just a two-front war with Egypt. Israel is more than capable of fighting Egypt conventionallly, BTW. When you throw in Iranian-backed missiles, war-headed with any manner of nasty stuff, that’s when the equation changes.

The only firm and subtantive way to stop that sh!t outright are nukes of various flavors. If you google what and how many nukes Israel has, estimates are around at least 200.

Obama isn’t really going to play into the solution; he may play into the onset by being an ass and hanging Israel out on the clothesline unattended, but whatever happens after that when Israel feels threatened enough, Obama will be about as useful as tits on a castrated bull.

Most Obamabots don’t even understand, nor do they care about what’s happening in Egypt. They’re still wondering why Eric Holder is in trouble over a movie (Fast & Furious).

John did go back to the earlier thread (your reference) and took a look. Can stand by all I typed at that thread yet remember this was not reported in the lamestream media. At least I did not see it on TV media. Could have missed it, if it was reported.

Here is what I think happened. (Tin Foil Hat Time) ....
There was possibly a threat leveled at Egypt's military. That threat was say good-bye to the money ... after all have read some republicans are lining up to offer the MB congratulations on this victory. The report referenced (by John W) was a report by the Jerusalem Post. What better way to slam Israel than to make the Jerusalem Post look stupid. Would our media, our politicians, and too many to count other countries participate in wanting to slam the Jerusalem Post? One can only point to what took place, one supposes. Some people actually report and ask questions, others decide what is the truth (mostly). Then there is (without the Tin Foil) an entity the vast majority of the world does not believe in. No need to say anything else, me thinks.

Please see rawhide’s post at #15 of John W reference to thread (in this thread) at post #51. Tells a tale, and makes me look stupid (as it should). Thanks rawhide, your post was on target in the thread at http://www.freerepublic.comfocus/f-news-2898573/posts which was John W. reference in this thread.

Iran went down February 11, 1979. Mubarak resigned February 11, 2011. Can’t take that out of my head, can’t be a coincidence.

They have their caliphs re-election to worry about too.

They are uneducated. They don’t know history. Obama, entitlements, and false promises. That is what they care about. It has been the same story since the civil war, forty acres and a mule.

The liberals will go down with their messiah. Obama has opened Pandoras box and all hell is going to break loose.
