Palinisms Did Sarah Palin really say that? By Jacob Weisberg Posted Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2011, at 10:09 AM ET "But when it comes to, and David, perhaps what it is that you're suggesting in the question is should the GOP, should conservatives not reach out to others, not participate in events or forums that perhaps are rising within those forums are issues that maybe we don't personally agree with?"—on the inclusion of pro-gay groups in the CPAC conference, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Feb. 4, 2011 all i can say to that bit, is....huh? thanks to slate for that tidbit of goo. |
or, here's this one, on egypt and mubarak.
"And nobody yet has, no body yet has explained to the American public what they know, and surely they know more than the rest of us know who it is who will be taking the place of Mubarak, and I'm not real enthused about what it is that that's being done on a national level and from D.C. in regards to understanding all the situation there in Egypt."—on President Obama's response to the turmoil in Egypt, in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Feb. 4, 2011 from slate... |

CBS News correspondent Lara Logan was recovering in a U.S. hospital Tuesday from a sexual attack and beating she suffered while reporting on the tumultuous events in Cairo. Logan was in the city’s Tahrir Square on Friday after Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down when she, her team and their security “were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration,” CBS said in a statement Tuesday. The network described a mob of more than 200 people “whipped into a frenzy.” Separated from her crew in the crush of the violent pack, she suffered what CBS called “a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating.” She was saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers, the network said.

How democracy and freedom will function or even exist in a country where its citizens voted for a theocracy should be telling. The Muslim Brotherhood, who publicly stated it would not be running candidates in the election, recently took 45% of Parliament. Other theocratic based parties took an additional 15% of seats, ensuring a solid majority.
In hindsight was the U.S. involvement and assistance in facilitating the formation of yet another theocracy in the mid-east a mistake? Considering Egypt’s more than capable military, should the U.S. now be concerned with a religiously based ruling political party, whose initial move into politics was a lie? Whether or not the evolvement of Egypt into a theocracy would have taken place without U.S. assistance will never be known. More than likely but what is known is $3 billion plus would have been saved remaining on the sidelines. The fact this administration so easily dispensed with the cash is a much truer indication of the concern they have for ‘taxpayer money’ than the false words pleading for the opportunity to streamline government. |
i thought the u.s. got a lot of criticism for backing mubarek, even after it was evident he was going to be deposed? now we were supporters??
sloppy thing, democracy. the voters spoke; if they voted in the muslim brotherhood, so be it. as for foreign aid, one of the favorite whipping boys of fans of smaller government-that amount is a drop in the bucket. again, the biggest drains on our treasury are defense and then medicare/aid/ss. you can add up every other budget item, every other department-the totals don't add up to what those two albatrosses equal. |
