.......you make good points but the word “coup” connotes “military” and our West Pointers and Annapolis guys have zero experience mentally with that concept. It is kinda sorta like the Chinese Navy that everyone wrings their hands over all the time. They don’t have any experience either. You could give them 10 Nimitz Air Craft Carriers along with the air wings! What good would it do them? They could not operate them! What “War in the Pacific” have the Chinese ever been involved in, in the past 1,000 years. Our guys have that non trnsferable naval combat experience, the Chinese don’t. They can steal all the plans to all the complicated systems they want but, most of the time, they could not operate them. Similarly, our guys have no experience with “coups”. Contrarily, the Chinese have regurgitated their leaders fairly regularly over the past 1,000 years.
Egypt is officially called the Arab Republic of Egypt
My thought: Who owns the army....owns the country.
Now think about OUR Right To Bear Arms.
Good catch..
America needs a TAX REVOLT - everyone ups their deductions on their W2s so as to not PAY taxes to the gov’t - if we were to do this enmass our gov’t would go broke (which we are technically now, but they keep spending OUR TAX DOLLARS)...
Me, too. I would dearly love to go visit some of the archaeology sites and museums... but not yet. I'm a bit worried that I've heard talk of fanatics destroying some of the monuments and so forth. I adore ancient Egyptian culture; such a loss would be devastating.
Fox is becoming like the RINOs (McCain, Graham, etc). Not far left like the other networks, but hardly conservative, except for just a few folks.
Fox not showing the photos you describe. Fox won’t show a real photo of Trayvon Martin either, only the photo of when he was 12 yo. Sweet innocent kid.
I must have missed something, who is my guy?
It’s the standard FReeper answer to the question, “Will you support my guy?”
The FReepers Definition of Conservative: I’m not sure, but whatever it is, it sure as hell aint YOU!!!
You know you got a problem when Al Jazeera has better reporting on this than US media. Some of the most patriotic people that I know are Arab Christians living in the US. Why? Probably because they know exactly what it’s like living in a Muslim dictatorship, and want nothing to do with it. Congrats to the Egyptian Tea Party, hope they can keep their Republic.
Thanks for the education.
Enjoy your day.
dead Judge walking.
From the UK Guardian story:
“Mansour, who was appointed as head of the constitutional court on Sunday, said this week’s protests had “corrected the path of the glorious revolution that took place on 25 January 2011”, and that continued revolution was needed until “we stop producing tyrants.”
I think Egypt is going to be juuuust fine.
The Egyptians have done more in 4 days to combat Islamofascist terrorism than Obama has done in 4 years.
The Speaker of the House (John Boehner) is 3rd in line to the presidency - after the president and vice president. Doesn’t this give you the warm and fuzzies?/s
