FYI this is not a revolution started by leftists, this was a revolution fueled by communications, instant messages, social networking.
The only aspect in which it was peaceful is that the Egyptian army exercised restraint. Stone throwers, molitov cocktails, taking over of buildings, looting the Cairo museum, not so much.

So, you encourage throwing the rule of law to the wind when things aren't going your way politically? Really? Be very careful of that which you wish.

The Egyptian army was honorable in showing restraint. The Tea Party has been honorable in redressing greivances peacefully. It seems the radical left is the only force foaming at the mouth for lawless, unConstitutional and violent overthrow.

let's see... bombing police stations, the pentagon, the capitol building - not a problem.

Well, that is what actual revolutions do - actually make those in power listen up and change things. BTW, who bombed anything in Egypt? Only those in power by Mubarak perpetrated violence and killed over 300 peaceful protestors.

That is just impotent clowning around. The most it can do is give someone in actual power a chuckle.

BTW, witness how the actual 'tea party revolutionaries' are now just ignored by GOP reps once they've slithered into power in actual decision making. Some 'revolution'! How are those 'huge spending cuts to live within means and no earmarks' coming?

It's not a revolution. You haven't seen that yet, but if the country continues to go down the current path, you might just get to witness one.

Yeah that Tea Party has you wetting your panties huh?

Mixed races, mixed religons, mixed walks of life for a better Republic, with more rights and far less taxes and 0 corruption.

The only violence at the Tea Party meets are brought in from the far left wacko nut case who are always violent.

But if you think this revolution in Egypt is a real revolution, well it a tad too early to see the out come.

It depends on if the people get what they were after, which was reasonable prices for foods, and no corruption.

If all they get is radical muslim, they are screwed.

The current USA Admin I do hope are taking notes.

I am not in the Tea Party, I am watching it to see if I would want to be a part to it though.

Feds like IRS, BATF, EPA, and more have no buisiness being any part of anything. FEMA, HS Welfare should all be gone.

Income taxes should be gone, sales taxes and sin taxes too, not to mention that nasty after death Estate tax.

You want health care go get a dam job and work, and then pay for insurance, pay for the medical folks yourself, or don't go at all.

If someone trys to force me to buy into Govt Ins, who ever that happens to be will be a bigger fool then he knows. He can try i guess.

Not a revolution, more like the Watts Riots of the 60s without the government getting involved.
