Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, Barack the First may profit by their example! < "Treason"> If this be treason, make the most of it! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!I think Al Gore loosed the dogs of war with his 2000 election dispute, the most serious act to undermine the political stability of the United States since the Civil War. Clinton's assault on the rule of law and the traditional dignity and respect accorded of the Office of President was unrelenting and completely unprecedented. Now we get Obama, the first president more or less openly contemptuous and hostile to the American Armed Forces. The Armed Forces deference to the Civilian authority has been one of the anchors of American Freedom. But that anchor is grounded in attitudes of mutual respect and the sands are certainly shifting.
The US military will feel empowered because of Egypts strong action. Don’t think they will be pushed around. That’s other than the top
generals, oh and the gay dudes. The second in command and lower maybe will get some balls. The courts and congress don’t have the stomach to do the right thing.
Egypts new boss is a Christian I think. The brotherhood is so screwed.
I’m hearing much chatter on the Internet to the effect that American patriots are much inspired by the recent revolution in Egypt and are taking notes.
Personally, I don’t expect Americans to be pouring out on the streets demanding Obama step down, nor do I believe the U.S. military would support the rebels if they did revolt.
At least until they get hungry, homeless and hopeless as the Egyptians did in the last year under Morsi.
So if the American economy goes west in a big way,and the welfare checks stop..then maybe...who knows?
