As Egypt Descends in Chaos, Should Sarah Palin Support a US-Led Invasion?

The escalating crisis in Egypt could become a defining moment for Sarah Palin. Rioters have taken over the streets, top presidential cabinet members have fled the country and numerous reports of Christians having their phone and internet services cut off have reached America. The thirty-year rein of Hosni Mubarak may be finally reaching an end.
The troubles started in Tunisia where students, working unwittingly at the behest of fundamentalist Islamics, overthrew their government and turned the North African state into a place of violence and anarchy. As was seen in Southeast Asia in the 60s, this movement threatens to ignite the whole continent in revolution against our strongest allies in the region.
The Taliban took advantage of this type of dilemma several decades ago, leading to the rise of an Al Qaida dictator state in Afghanistan. The same can be said of Iran, which for a moment showed hopes of becoming a true democracy before sliding dangerously into Muslim theocracy. There is little doubt that revolution in Egypt will lead to a similar problem. The Christian minority there has always lived tenuously, repressed and discriminated against in ways the mainstream media is reluctant to report. “Seizing a Moment, Al Jazeera Taps Arab Anger,” is the headline in the New York Times, signaling just how quickly Islamicists are trying to profit from this upheaval. The Times even goes so far as to call this “Al Jazeera’s moment.” A totalitarian regime based on Sharia Law and closed off to U.S. oversight is the worst possible outcome of this insurgency.
Another aspect that should be taken into account is that radical elements in the United States are interpreting this uprising as a teachable moment. On message boards, social networking sites and the web pages of leftwing groups across the nation, young Americans are voicing interest in similar riots taking place on our very soil. Socialists, liberals and eco-terrorists are fully behind the violence in Egypt. Their talk of a coup d’etat in the U.S. is dangerous, possibly treasonous, and threatens our greatest traditions of moral primacy.
This dilemma does have a silver lining, however. It offers Sarah Palin an incredible opportunity. Stung after the events in Tucson, where leftwing activists tried to blame her for the acts of a mentally disturbed occultist, she could rise to the occasion and show off her credentials on the international stage. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been slow to discuss what is happening in Egypt. In truth, they are playing a sickening balancing act of recalcitrant diplomacy, ultimately toying with the safety and future of the United States in ways they do not seem to appreciate.
Governor Palin needs to speak out publicly and forcibly for an American-led invasion to protect our interests in North Africa. As the largest recipient of foreign aid next to Israel, the United States has a tremendous investment in keeping Egypt stable and relatively terrorist-free. There are many sympathizers on the ground who have not been able to express their allegiance to democracy and freedom for fear of repression by the rioters. The Governor could become the center of their rallying cries. Upon her direction, other Western nations are sure to join us. This is the pressure Obama needs to act. With the recent ascent of the Tea Party in the House and Senate, this decision would certainly gain Congressional support. Do we truly need another 84 million enemies of Christianity? Sarah Palin can head off this possibility in Egypt if she moves swiftly.

Ok, so a former governor who holds no political power in office should take the US armed forces to go to a country where we have no right to be in because the people of the country are fed up with their leader, and this is going to happen how, and why exactly?

Hi! I think I make the case for Governor Palin’s involvement rather clear. I don’t see her leading a military campaign, but rather rallying Egyptians freedom lovers and American politicians to action. She could use her incredible power as a global figure to demand that we act. You seem to have completely misread my article.

I think you GREATLY overestimate how much power Palin has as a “global figure.” The only country where she has much of a base at all is America, and even here she is a joke to every politician except tea-partiers. It’s really funny how many hardcore republicans are trying to distance themselves from Palin. If Sarah Palin called for the US to invade Egypt most of America, and almost ALL of the politicians in office right now would scoff at the idea. The idea of invading and occupying a foreign country isn’t a very popular idea these days after the Iraq and Afganistan debacles.

So this article calls a dictator who imprisons, tortures, and murders his own people “one of our strongest allies”, advocates for the military invasion of another country in order to “protect our interests in North Africa”, and suggests that a series of riots that have already led to the deaths of hundreds of people are an “incredible opportunity” for some American facebook pundit?
And they really believe that invading another nation that in no way has threatened us is somehow going to not make 84 million new enemies of Christianity?
This is supposed to be a Christ-centered site? Where is Christ in any of this?

I’ve always thought Sarah needed the right arena for her special skills. Your article makes one’s imagination soar with the possiblities. I could almost see our Sarah, the next President or Secretary of State even, marching over a knoll into Cairo singing, “This little light of mine, I’mma gonna let it shine….”

Worldwide Islamist revolution explodes
As powder keg spreads across Mideast, clerics celebrate rise of Muslim power
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=257681
“TEL AVIV – Islamists, in particular the anti-Western Muslim Brotherhood, seem poised to take power throughout the Middle East as a result of riots that have already toppled one Arab regime and are threatening others, in what some are calling only the latest wave of an Islamic “tsunami” sweeping the globe.”
“In fact, some Muslim clerics are already calling the riots in Egypt simply an extension of 1979′s Islamist conquests.
“Thirty-one years after the victory of the Islamic Republic, we are faced with the obvious fact that these movements are the aftershocks of the Islamic Revolution,” said Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, as reported by Iran’s Radio Zamaneh. “The fate of those who challenge [our] religion is destruction.”

If we can use our Armed Forces for good in this situation, why shouldn’t we? This problem threatens to turn North Africa into a hotbed of violent revolution. As someone else noted, the Chinese are working very hard to extend their sphere of influence into the region, making alliances with countries that have great mineral resources. This might be an opportunity for the US to stop that long chain of dominoes from falling. It’s a proactive and defensive step to stop the spread of communism.

Which will give them access to materials that they need to produce the stuff that we all use, from America to Canada to Britain to France, Germany, Russia, and so forth.
//This might be an opportunity for the US to stop that long chain of dominoes from falling. It’s a proactive and defensive step to stop the spread of communism.//
What’s so bad about communism? All you want to do is say “communism is bad” without saying WHY. And don’t give me the whole ‘red scare’ bullshit, that was due to conflicting ideas of a different matter, and the Red Scare was just a modern-day Witch Hunt. All communism is about is people getting an equal paycheck regardless of job or class, and not a bad system if used correctly when a country is in the shitter, economically speaking.

//I’m sorry you’re an atheist, but is your lack of moral foundation motivating you here?//
Explain how being an atheist means that this person has a lack of moral foundation.
//Being Christian is about sharing love and freedom.//
Yes, because oppressing others, calling them sinful beings, protesting the funerals of fallen soldiers, and insulting people who aren’t on the same side as you with childish insults is nothing but love and freedom. Oh, and so is restricting the rights of human beings and throwing people in jail simply because they enjoy music you hate.
//What better way to do that than to bring that to this nation with our military forces.//
Yes, let’s oppress the people and keep a man who has actively blocked off information to the people in office, that will show them freedom.
//It would also provide us with a stepping stone in this tumultuous region, a place to set up bases and extend American influence.//
Admit it, you want to take advantage of the situation to put up bases near the area simply because you’re pissed off that Obama’s pulled soldiers out and continues to do so, and you want to fight, and you want SOMETHING to go wrong just so you can go berserk and kill everyone in the area, but you need some kind of scapegoat or else you’ll have no supporters.

Military involvement almost never solves anything. Also we are already stretched thin militarily between Afghanistan, Iraq and our many over seas bases. Also, the next we are involved militarily in a country a declaration of war should be called, something this country hasn’t done since World War II. If we get involved we will call it a “police action” when in reality it is a war. Honestly use your heads for more than a hat rack people.

Hi,
Thank you for the time and effort you put into your award winning investigative journalism. I do appreciate the opportunities this site gives us to openly discuss ideas and warn each other about threats to our way of life. One of the great things about open discussion is occasionally we may have disagreements, but we can handle them in a Christ like manner.
I do respectfully disagree with some of this article. While I am concerned about what happens in Egypt and disturbed about what this may mean to our future I strongly believe that women are not meant by god to lead men, especially into battle.
“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” (I Corinthians 11:3)
“For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” (I Corinthians 11:8-9)
This leaves me with a heavy heart. On one hand we have a great God given need and right to invade this country of Egypt. On the other hand we have this strong and wise person available for the job. The opportunity we have is a one of a kind. What should we do?
I propose we install Sarah Palins husband Todd. He could be the King to Sarah’s Queen thereby honoring gods wishes that a man lead us. Sarah could stand by his side honoring god and imparting her wisdom on Todd leading our forces across the Sinai.
Our time has come.

Oh, and Sarah Palin no longer holds any sort of office. I hope you’re aware of that.
“As the largest recipient of foreign aid next to Israel, the United States has a tremendous investment in keeping Egypt stable and relatively terrorist-free.”
That’s improper sentence structure, Mr. Journalist. By putting “the United States has a tremendous investment…” immediately after the comma, you’re confusing readers into thinking that it’s the US that is the second largest recipient of foreign aid. You should have said something along the lines of “As the largest recipient of foreign aid next to Israel, Egypt (the subject referred to as the second largest recipient of foreign aid) has become a great stability and anti-terrorism investment by the United States.”
“The Governor could become the center of their rallying cries.”
You’re aware that millions of people across the globe laugh at Sarah Palin, correct?
“Sarah Palin can head off this possibility in Egypt if she moves swiftly.”
That sentence reminds me of one of Lady Galadriel’s lines in “The Lord of the Rings”: “The eye of Sauron now turns to Gondor – the last free kingdom of Men. His war on this country will come swiftly…”

We could set up bases here and introduce the people of that continent to the concept of freedom and democracy.

well … we have a long history of employing the Reagan strategy of subverting foreign govts to our benefit; this is known and factual, beyond dispute. We pay the family of Saud for a very good rate on their oil, and we do have to do things at times to ‘protect our interests’ which are also theirs, a pagan Muslim nation who enforces sharia law.
this is abomination in the eyes of God. they have their idol in the Temple Mount, in the Holy of Holies.
America is partnered with Muslims for oil, is the reality of the war in Iraq and the enmity toward iran. If we ever did go to war in Iran, we would only defeat them with nukes (which would start a global holocaust) and gas would go to $12-14 a gallon because of insurance rates on the oil freighters which have to pass through the Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz, which is lined with Iranian missile launchers which we cannot stop. It would destroy the fragile US economy.

This is incredibly short sighted. You list President Ronald Regan. If true, do you not think this policy applied to F.D.R, Truman, LBJ, and Kennedy????
Vietnam was started by Kennedy, Bay of Pigs, Kennedy, Korean War, Truman, WW2 FDR. How many governments were “installed” under F.D.R, Truman and Kennedy? Many more than under Regan, that’s for sure. If we Americans were really smart we would spend the entire treasure on resurrecting Nixon or cloning him. In the eyes of the rest of the world, he was our greatest president and has (by far) the greatest environmental record (for you liberals). More environmental legislation was passed during his presidency than all other presidencies combined.
And before you question Nixon’s international status, see how many foreign nationals paid tribute to him upon his death. Far more than any other leader in world history. To this day.

We are not the world’s police. We can’t afford it, can’t complete the mission, and certainly don’t need Palin’s 2 cents of nonsense, although I’m sure her handlers will read this and start writing her speech. Never does she miss an opportunity to make herself sound dumb. In this era of people shouting for smaller government, you want to send more young people to die? With what? Will this war be paid for by a tax hike? At what point do we let people decide their own form of government without us trying to force them into something because we want their oil?

I don’t normally comment on stories like this. But as a fairly in independent observer of America (hailing from Scotland in the UK) the right wing parties and supporters in your country simply flabbergast me!
I almost don’t know where to start.
First of all, the fact that “Socialists, liberals and eco-terrorists are fully behind the violence in Egypt” is simply a lie. Yes they may understand and sympathise with the fact that the people of Egypt are demanding changes of their government, just as many in the US want to see huge changes in theirs (such as the removal of the selfish influence of big business and lobbyists, and PROPER separation of church and state not the thinly veiled fundamentalism that some right wingers push). But NO ONE wants to see people have to resort to violent means to achieve this.
Then we go on to your fabulous plan to invade Egypt, which has several major flaws I’m afraid.
Firstly as one commenter has already mentioned, Sarah Palin’s reputation around the world is substantially different around the world from the image you clearly have of her. Quite simply she is a bit of a joke and she would point blank NOT have the influence or support to achieve this.
Secondly how exactly do you plan to pay for ANOTHER war? America is already in severe, almost crushing debt.
Partly because of the cost of the wars you are already involved in and partly because of the huge global meltdown that was caused by your banks running wild due to de-regulation (even though the right wing politicians, as is their way, fight tooth and nail to deny this and shift the blame anywhere else they can)
Republicans like to shout about spending cuts and balancing the books, but if you are throwing money at another war what would you then cut?
A CNN poll this month found that just one American in five regards deficit reduction as pressing enough to justify cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Only one in four would choose balancing the budget if it meant reducing education programs. Incredible as it sounds, even current government outlays to science, the arts, farmers and antipoverty programs still enjoy 50 percent-plus support.
But that is exactly what you would have to do. With a new war added to the current ones, to attempt to even cap the deficit at its current level never mind reduce it you would have to slash all of these vital programs, AGAINST THE WILL OF 80% of Americans. And remember this is not just 80% of liberals or left wingers, 80% of ALL Americans including republicans.
But thirdly, and the biggest overall point, you say you do not want to create “another 84 million enemies of Christianity?”. Now ignoring for a second the use of Christianity rather than America or the West (because as we have already discussed as part of your constitution the government SHOULD NOT be acting because of religious reasons!), i say the following statement with a note of pleading in my voice….
….what the hell do you think invading their country is going to do exactly?!
They do not want you there. And by invading, you will do exactly that, turn a country against you and create another 84 million people who hate you. I implore you to see that it is this kind of swaggering, caviller attitude that you have the right to dictate to the world how they should behave, and then punish them if they do not, that causes these problems in the first place.

An investment in our military means more jobs.
Manufacturing jobs to fill our empty factories.
Service jobs to support military efforts.
Which means more people working, the working class can cover an extension of the higher tier income tax cuts.
Which in turn mean more jobs created by the rich.
It’s basic economics found in the Bible, which seems to be missing from a lot of these posts.
Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

I’ve got to say that if God advocates and justifies the usage of violence at the cost of an exhausted economy and based off the emotions and incidents of a mere group of humans, that you see God in a way that I do not share. If God is meant to be the light of the world and help people (as it says), why do you consider him to be the one that guides us into territories foreign to be the “good thing” to do?
And what happens if America does not decide to invade Egypt? Does that mean we failed to act on Gods will? That America is a failure to act in accordance with God if we do not ever invade Egypt?
Maybe invading Egypt is not gods will at all, but just your imagination of what you think is the gods will. What makes you have the right to know what Gods will is more than the person next to you? For your information, God does not discriminate against Catholics or non-Catholics. To him, all people are just the same people while we are on Earth. Sorry to burst your bubble folks, its true.
If you think I’m lying, go to a hospital testing area with an Ebola virus released in the air with 4 of your Catholic friends and find 5 other Muslim friends take a deep breath. I guarantee you God will not screw with nature’s statistics that he created, in order to save your people more than another group of people.
Also, start praying really hard everyday to God, but only pray. And only evangelize. Don’t participate in a human-made economy by having a job and getting “money”. I guarantee you the hard working Protestant, the hard working Jewish man, or heck, even an Atheist farmer will have a lot more food on their plate at the end of the day than all the praying you can do.
If there is anything God teaches you in the Bible, is that you are a mere human, powerless in the face of God. And here you are talking about how God is telling us to do this, do that, we should invade and kill people and countries for the greater good….
Greater good of what? You should ask yourself what that exactly means.
Do not hijack the name God and throw it around like a ragdoll, or you will pay for it in the next life. As they say “The Road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions”. The more you start getting self-conceited (and convincing yourself youre doing Gods deed when you arent) you will start acting more extreme until one day you realize you just justified killing people for God.

For starters, Sarah Palin can’t become an Egyptian Patriot unless the Egyptian people decide that her actions directly result in a new state. This article is about Sarah Palin fighting and killing Egyptian political members and defenders, not about Egyptians being “patriots”.
Blanche, a Patriot is someone who fights for their country, whatever that exactly means in specific circumstances.For example, was George Washington a Patriot? Yes, from our point of view, yes. But from the British view back then, he sure wasn’t.
If I advocate and succeed to make 30 US states to become independent of Washington DC and to become free of taxation, does that make me a Patriot or a Seperatist? (maybe it can even a terrorist depending on what method I use to create seperatism)
If I succeed I will be a Patriot because I will be leading a creation of a New Nation. If I fail or do not quite get the Nation working, I will be considered a terrorist. That simple. Words are value judgements people put on other people, like names or “name calling” or labeling, whatever you call it.
Lastly………. America has no divine purpose to “lead” the world. That’s GODS job to lead the world. Who made us better than another person? Because we are educated? Rich? Smarter? If we’re so smart and rich, why are there homeless people on the street? If we say “well that’s their fault” then why do we lack the heart to help even 1 or 2 of them off the street?
That most Americans want to go to church on Sundays to sing songs but would drive right past a homeless person after church and not even bat an eye. Helping a neighbor by chit-chatting or talking about God is easy, or putting a penny or 3 in a donation box while getting groceries…..but how many Americans ACTUALLY go out of their way to become more Christ-like?
Seriously. The level of hypocrisy in this country when it comes to Religion is embarrassing. Its always like this “Whats your religion?” “I’m a Christian” “Oh? How many strangers have you welcomed into your home this week like it says in the Bible?” “Oh… uh… what?” (I repeat question) “I’m afraid none” “Ever?” “Yes, ever”.
I can’t imagine Jesus Christ (if he walked amongst us in the present day in America) on his WORST day saying something like “You know, I love Americans, I really can’t be bothered saving the homeless or really get around to caring for humans in other countries.” Can you?

I think if she can offer peaceful solutions to this she has a much better shot of keeping the 2012 presidential nomination in the crosshairs of her campaign.

Sarah Palin will not lead to a peaceful solution because the people of a another nation will not accept her running their own country.

Rampant Islamaphobia is hampering the ability for people to think straight. These events are electrifying to Arabs everywhere, a heroic mobilization. And not only to Arabs. When ElBaradei says, I salute the youth for overturning a pharaonic power, lovers of human freedom everywhere must be thrilled. We are seeing a dictator dissolve before our eyes. These are the events we cherished in history books; let us embrace the Egyptian movement.
So why is America so afraid?
Because we are seeing a giant leap in Arab power, in which the people of the largest Arab nation demand that they be allowed to fulfill their potential. This change portends a huge shift in the balance of power in the region. For the U.S. has played only a negative role in the Egyptian advance, supplying the teargas, and it seems inevitable that Egypt will cease to be a client state to the U.S. And thereby threaten the order of the last 30 years.
Whatever government replaces the current one in Egypt, it will not serve American interests, which have been largely defined by Israel, the American-Israeli “imperium.”
The danger to America and Israel is that the Egyptian revolution will destroy this false choice of secular dictator-or-crazy Islamists by showing that Arabs are smart articulate people who can handle real democracy if they get to make it themselves.
Racism against Arabs is shutting down the American mind once again.

For just a moment, tableing the idea of invading a sovereign nation and beginning to make the US appear a little bit like it’s on some kind of campaign of world conquest, dare I say crusade *ahem*, let’s take a step back and consider – seriously…Sarah Palin?
All things aside – the fact that she didn’t know what the Bush Doctrine is, that she couldn’t name her “favorite founding father,” that she couldn’t state what literature she reads for current events, that her foreign policy experience was summed up by being nearish but never interacting with Russia, and that she quit the position that the people of Alaska elected her to without finishing her term – all that aside – exactly how many military operations was she involved with during her term? What experience does she have with military strategy, or, forgive me for belaboring the point, foreign policy? I don’t know if I can think of someone worse to be calling for a military campaign – and to whoever said it, yes, obviously her husband, the snow-mobiler, is the better choice.

All those who have underestimated Governor Palin have been proven wrong. I think it would be a mistake to second guess her here. And no one is suggesting she take the reins of military strategy. Instead, many see her as a potent political figure who could give voice to the need for freedom and democracy in Egypt. What worries many, as expressed in the article “Global Jihad: Worldwide Islamist revolution explodes”, is that this is turning into an Islamic revolution which portends a theocratic terrorist state whose ultimate goal is the destruction of the United States.

I know that you’re worried about the theocratic terrorist state, I read your article. There’s obviously a lot of factprs involved in that, and a lot more stuff you’d have to make up to justify an invasion. But aside from all that, I’d say that if you want to start a global movement, employing a spokesman that isn’t a joke outside of the Tea Party, and that – and I’m sorry, this is just my individual and completely unsubstantiated preference – has some credentials, might be a good start.

We’ll have actual reason to go invade them and completely beat them down.

Except you want her to tell people that we should send troops over there to oppress the people instead of free them from their tyrannical government, when the people are actually crying out for us to help them overthrow their leader. That sounds like they want to make things better by getting rid of a guy who’s been leading them under the disguise of democracy.

Christians are a 10% minority in Egypt. I don’t think they’d be able to effectively hold onto power there. Secularism offers them the best hope of having a voice in government and culture.

By the way; I sincerely don’t want to attack your beliefs here but if your going to judge Muslims because they are violent towards people who don’t believe what they do, maybe you should take a look at christians’ track record for violence and persecution.

“Some in Israel have compared US president Barack Obama’s response to the crisis to that of former US president Jimmy Carter to the Iranian revolution in 1979. Obama has called on Mubarak to show restraint and pass unspecified reforms in Egypt.”
“Jimmy Carter will go down in American history as ‘the president who lost Iran’, which during his term went from being a major strategic ally of the United States to being the revolutionary Islamic republic,” Aluf Benn, an analyst in Haaretz, wrote.”
“Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who ‘lost’ Turkey, Lebanon and Egypt, and during whose tenure America’s alliances in the Middle East crumbled.”

The Tunisian government was not overthrown by Islamic fundamentalists or reactionaries. It was a completely secular uprising as is primarily what’s going on in Egypt. Muslim Brotherhood is a late comer to the uprising in Egypt. They weren’t involved at all until late last week and they have not been calling for an Islamic state. The protesters are supporting El Baradei who is a secular Arab, and Muslim Brotherhood is discussing backing El Baradei for a transitional government leader. All of this Muslim fear is ridiculous. There are insane radical Christian groups too, but no one correctly blames all of Christianity for being lunatics.

I think you’re missing the larger trend here, which is that fundamentalists are co-opting these uprisings to promote a hardline theocracy. As I watch the news wire, more and more stories are appearing about how Western leaders are worrying about the tenor of the participants in these revolutions. Many in the conservative press called this out from the beginning, but the liberals in their rosy sunglasses seem to have been too enthralled with street protests and the notion of rampant populism to see what’s really happening here. American interests will truly suffer. That much is clear. Netanyahu is aware that Israel and Middle East peace will suffer (as he’s told the press today). Should we be surprised? I don’t think so. This is the same old story with every uprising in the Middle East.
I predict in the next few days we’ll see many more stories like this:

Seriously, can’t you people be bothered to do proper research regarding world trends? The people in Egypt are demanding true democracy, which derives from the PEOPLE. They don’t need any silly little invasion forces from America, especially since the American government has supported Mubarak for the last 30 years. Guess what? America has practically NO meaning in the Middle East at this point. Remember the elections in Palestine a few years ago? How the American government pushed and pushed for them to have those elections, and when they DID occur, the Palestinian people elected Hamas, rather than the guy our government wanted?
Yeah. Liz Cheney admits, that whole election was a mistake on OUR part.
What’re we going to do that’s so grand and glorious in Egypt? The Egyptian people are demanding a proper democracy, regardless of their political or religious affiliation. Can’t you just let them be? Let them GAIN their democracy, without deciding that we have to invade them? Or are you too damned stupid to realise that?

While you and I don’t see eye to eye on many topics, I hope you will review this revelatory report and come to the understanding that her interests may not be in your best interests. I worry about you and hope only the best for your future. I would hate for one of our young people to be so misled.
Kind regards,
BB

Mrs Palin is the ideal person to lead the invasion as she is protected from harm by the power of prayer. Like Delacroix’s “Liberty leading the people” it would be a sight to inspire generations to come.

I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and look to our history for why Sarah is a great representative as the face of democracy for Christians in Egypt.
Democracy started with the Native North Americans, Indians if you’re old school. You see, the original Tea Party patriots were unhappy about the taxation without representation they received from Great Britain. I think we can all agree that Great Britain invented, or at least perfected, Imperialism and Colonialism. Maybe the Dutch, with the birthday cake apportionment of the African continent, could make this a talking point for some.
Great Britain’s King George was taxing the daylights out of the American Colonists. Much like today’s modern Europe, it was plagued with open sewers and rats larger than lapdogs, so there was a lot of illness amongst the population. (This is proven by the fact France takes the month of August off from all work activities.) The people in Europe were off sick from work so the King didn’t have the tax base he needed to fund his mental health plan. He abundantly taxed the peaceful colonists – while they tended their verdant crops, managed their profitable enterprises, worshiped free of government intervention – to make up for the sickly Europeans – victims of HRH’s corrupt and greedy system.
These Tea Party Patriots in order to form a Democracy, protested the Tea Tax by dressing up as Indians (Native Americans),so a marginalized minority would be blamed for the sedition, and they tossed the tea willy-nilly into Boston Harbor.
As Egyptians protest for their democracy, they could conceivably take a page from our history and dress up as Christians. This aggression cannot stand. We need the voice and representation to protect Christians in Egypt before they are blamed for the new democracy.
As citizens of the greatest Christian nation under God, indivisible we demand justice for all Christians because our fore bearers hailed from all over the world as pilgrims seeking a new hope.
As Christine O’Donnell has stated…”I’m You.” Sarah would make a great spokesperson for the all of us. She needs to let her light of freedom shine!
Praise be,
BB

democracy started in Rome before julius ceasar but I guess you know that as well
also the Tea party of that time was not a religious party like today they were much an ‘anti imperialist’ party much Like Mao and Stalin did
I also read somewhere ( forgot who said that ) that USA is indivisble may i remind you that you hate liberal yet you both lives in USA so yes you are divisible
What I said is before bring “democracy” and “freedom” why not cleaning your own backyard for a change and kicking out the corrupted politician democrats and republican

Mr Billings you say (and i quote you) :
<>
Communism ? Please correct this, at least use “Radical Islamism”
<>
Which implies that if you (or the US) dont like the outcome, then intervention is needed. However who are you (or the US) to decide the “desirable” outcome.
Deciding… that seems like Dictating…
<> Again, “acceptable results”
While i understand your worries, i am troubled by the “acceptability factor”.
Should “we” want to help the Egyptians overthrow a (US Backed) dictator ? Of course, he is a dictator.
But i am worried because i see that YOU want to make sure that the egyptians make the choice YOU want them to.

//I think Muburak has lost his mandate. I’ve told you that before. Why must you needle me with arguments I haven’t even made?//
Well, you don’t want the people to overthrow their government, which means you want things to remain the same. Unless your plan is to put someone else in office, the only conclusion is leaving Muburak there, and even then, how would the new guy get into office in the first place?
//I really don’t understand you and then you throw all this anarchist communist diatribes at me.//
Do keep in mind Stevie that I WILL reference this sentence EVERY single time you try to say you know me, and as far as the ‘diatribe’ goes, you just like stringing together things that sound bad, don’t you?
//As that your real agenda here? I wish you’d simply be honest about your intentions.//
I told you, it’s to show you the truth and to show you how bad of a liar you are.
//You’re a fantastic muckraker, just like many liberals, but when it comes to building things, to suggesting positive ideas for growth, you’re vacant.//
I’m vacant? This coming from someone who wants to bring back the fucking 50′s just because he throws a bitch-fit whenever someone says something he doesn’t like? Not only that, but you just throw words around that sound scary, nor do you do the most basic of fact checking. You’re getting SLIGHTLY better by linking to articles, but whether or not those articles are of actual value is a different matter, especially when they’re biased from the get-go.
//You have nothing constructive to say, you’re destructive. Well, we Christians are a fortress my friend. And you’re throwing pebbles.//
You ain’t Christian, nor are you a fortress. Do keep in mind the amount of times you’ve gone and lost your fucking mind. In fact…
Hey Claire, you happen to have that list of stuff Stevie’s said whenever he’s exploded into his old man rage?

That’s why I come to this site: I get tomorrow’s headlines yesterday.
Do you think you could look into persistent rumors I have been hearing from the nephew of a woman whose cousin has her nails done in the same place a source close to Lisa Murkowski gets her pedicures?
Here’s the deal: apparently Palin and Joel McGuiness planned that whole thing about him moving next door so she would have a “reasonable” excuse to put a fence around her place to keep away prying eyes. Palin is not only arguing for an invasion, her operatives ignited the uprisings so an invasion would not be taken off the table by ‘Bam.
She’s no dummy: she realizes this thing could go nuclear and is building a bunker on her property, which is close to completion. In a week or two the indoor bowling alley and shooting range should be finished and she’ll be ready to go to the mattresses.
Don’t let the Enquirer scoop you on this.

Maddow is only one of millions who Palin has played like a violin. I met the woman when our squadron participated in low-level operations at Elmendorf. She had not been in office long.
We spoke for a few minutes and one thing now seems incontrovertibly true: Palin derangement symptom is a legitimate psychopathology.
Politically, she, like Orson Wells did with the Mercury Theater’s “War of the Worlds” broadcast has somehow flipped a switch on a huge segment of the population who for reasons only a future social psychologist might divine, actually believe an absurd fiction: in this instance that she is both illiterate, slow-witted, and just plain ignorant. Just as Wells convinced Ivy league professors, surgeons, and other mensa types that New Jersey was being invaded by aliens,
The gullible talking heads like Maddow, Mauer, and Frank Rich have infected untold numbers on the left with a thought virus.
I have the assurance that comes from knowing: chatting for a few minutes with the woman left no doubt in my mind that she is not only more politically cunning than many believe; she is more resourceful than they can imagine.

Since Maddow pretty much made Egyptians think we think they are a joke the situation has degraded. Violence has escalated. Protesters are now fighting other protesters; fringe groups are gaining power and fighting with each other. Anderson Cooper has even been attacked. The terrible delay in action is costing so many innocent people their lives. We need to act now if it isn’t already too late. What investigative Journalist Billings predicted days ago was right on.
