Egypt equals Obama's Iran (Lord Help Us)

However corrupt Egypt’s regime may have been or continues to be, Mubarak succeeded in keeping the Islamists and the religious radicals in check. The Muslim Brotherhood, a major fundamentalist Egyptian opposition group that Mubarak had banned, will definitely try to take advantage of any further economic frustration or breakdown to set up the longed-for Islamic state, probably by promising those who have nothing that they will create a Muslim utopia of social justice, patterned after the Prophet Mohammad’s rule. That is the bait to hijack the revolution, like the Bolsheviks promised “peace, land and bread” to the uneducated, downtrodden Russian masses to get their support, only to bring in the Red Terror in return.

As history warns, the Islamists, if successful in seizing power, will internally perpetrate a Khmer Rouge/Khomeini-type bloodbath the likes of which Egypt has never seen before. The first victims will most likely be the country’s religious minorities. Externally, they will involve Egypt in a jihad/war against Israel, Europe or the Shiites and, like Iran, strive to build nuclear weapons.

Thus, Western countries and Israel are, naturally, viewing the events in Egypt with grave concern. The West must be prepared to confront the fact that it may be faced in Egypt with an approaching hostile, failed state, similar to Pakistan and Somalia, where terrorists will be welcome. If Obama fails to play this precarious situation right, and drops the ball like Carter disastrously did in 1979 by pulling the rug from under the Shah’s feet in Iran, then this dire situation could coalesce into Islamists capturing Egypt. Sometimes, as with Mubarak, the devil you know is better than the one you don’t.

Obama arrested on drug charges

Well not the President ... but his half-brother, George Obama was arrested for alleged possession of marijuana on Saturday near his home in a Nairobi shantytown, police said.

According to the local police cheif, George Obama, who is in his 20s and barely knows the president, had one marijuana joint on him.

The youngest of our President's brothers, lives in a shack and earns a dollar a day. "I'm proud of how I live," he told The Associated Press in an interview over the summer. "(The media) are tarnishing the family name."

In President Obama's book "Dreams From My Father," he describes George Obama as "a handsome, roundheaded boy with a wary gaze." I wonder why he didn't invite him to the takeover party?

So anyway, two thoughts come to mind:

First, when BHO's faulty policies lead us head long into the Greater Depression, are all the Dims here in America going to be "proud" to live in a shack and to make a dollar a day? (With the Dims destroying the economy and the mortage industry that just may come try.)


And Second, is George Obama going to start selling his favorite end use product the same way Jimmy Carter's Brother, Billy did with Billy Beer? (I can it now: George Ganja. And George's first add would read something like: "Grown expressly for and with the personal approval of one of world's all-time great pot-smokers - George Obama." And "I had this doobie rolled just for me. I think it's the best I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot. I think you'll like it, too." George Obama.) *

*Yes a few words were changed from the Billy Beer slogan's to make the George Ganja ad.

It takes a Carter to get a Reagan.

Jimmy Carter was hands down the worst president of the past 50 years, if not of all time. Obama will take that title away from Carter. Maybe it would be good for the country to see how much damage the Democrat/Socialist party can do. That’s how Reagan and the Republicans came roaring back to power in a landslide. Even die hard Democraps couldn’t take another term of Jimmy Carter’s mediocrity.

And thus 1.20.13 will be the end of socialism in America.

But to be honest, it isn't fair to compare Obama to Moa, Lenin, Marx or Carter ... because they all had experience before coming into power

Why Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.

Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found.Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are."

To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic status in society based on hard work and good performance.

In that way, one's social class attainment, whether upper, middle or lower, would be perceived as totally fair and justified.

If your beliefs don't justify gaps in status, you could be left frustrated and disheartened, according to the researchers, Jaime Napier and John Jost of New York University. They conducted both a U.S.-centric survey and a more internationally focused one to arrive at the findings.

"Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives," the researchers write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, "apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) light."

The results support and further explain a Pew Research Center survey from 2006, in which 47 percent of conservative Republicans in the U.S. described themselves as "very happy," while only 28 percent of liberal Democrats indicated such cheer.

The same rationalizing phenomena could apply to personal situations as well.

"There is no reason to think that the effects we have identified here are unique to economic forms of inequality," the researchers write. "Research suggests that highly egalitarian women are less happy in their marriages compared with their more traditional counterparts, apparently because they are more troubled by disparities in domestic labor."

The current study was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Jimmy Carter to Meet With Hamas Leader in Syria


Here’s yet another example of How Our Worst Ex-President Undermines American Foreign Policy, Coddles Dictators and Created the Party of Clinton and Kerry:

Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

Wherever U.S. interests have been imperiled and a temporary "peace" could be bought at the expense of long-term security, Carter has always been on board. The late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan summed it up when he said of Carter in 1980, "Unable to distinguish between our friends and our enemies, he has essentially adopted our enemies' view of the world."

Woe unto America if Jimmy Carter ever becomes our guiding light

(I can't help but pray that Hamas takes him hostage for 444 Days then beheads him Daniel Pearl style. That would be a fitting end to "Jimmy" Earl's quest for a legacy and would put the United States out of Jimmy's misery. Jimmy should stick to fishing for killer swamp rabbits that seemed to be the only thing he did successfully as the Worst 20th Century US President /The Peanut Farmer That Caused Millions Of Americans (Including me) To Become Republicans.

Well, that just about sums it up!
