Strange that you blabber in reply and totally miss the freakin' POINT...although I'm not surprised since most everything goes over your head.

Go back and re-read what I was replying to with an ADULT this time to explain it to you.

The great thing about the US is that we have the opportunity for revolution every couple of years. Egypt didn't, so they were forced to take to the streets. My guess is that to Nancy Pelosi the tea partiers were pretty effective in their revolution.

I don't have the slightest idea why you would bring in code pink, what does that have to do with this?
Because Code Pink along with a few other of Obama's radical friends (formerly in the business of domestic terrorism) have been documented as stirring the pot of discontent in Egypt for the past year.

We didn't dress up in costumes. We didn't carry "silly" signs. And we ddin't "wear tea bags".

Lefty, your post is one of the most ignorant I've seen on C-D.

You have no clue what is happening over there, and you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

Better do some research.

You are wrong. The elections of November 2010 ousted Democrats from the House quite peacefully, with the exception of a few professional aggitators from Soros funded organizations.

Now, please address the inconsistency in Obama's foriegn policy when it comes to supporting democratic uprisings and revolutions.

Koch brothers won over Soros in 2010. Let us leave it at that.

But when it comes to foreign policy, what were you expecting Obama to do with the situation in Egypt? Side with the dictator and against the people? Remember, this is what he said...
"We want to see this moment of turmoil turn into a moment of opportunity," he said. "Even as there are grave challenges and great uncertainty, I am confident that the Egyptian people can shape the future that they deserve."

Bad idea and approach, eh?

You didn't see words written in the street made of stones thrown? Many hand sized rocks made to be words, but i don't read Egyptian.

Why are you not revealing your source(s)? I would like to see them. In the mean time, digest this.

But in 13 days of demonstrations, the environment hasn't always been safe and activists as well as journalists have been targeted by pro-Mubarak backers.

Fox News correspondent Greg Palkot and cameraman Olaf Wiig were in Tahrir Square during the worst of the violence last week. When the building from which they were reporting came under siege, they were forced to flee into the streets and right into the middle of pro-government supporters.

The two were both severely beaten -- to the point they had to be hospitalized.

Personally, I'm surprised the protesters held up and stuck with peace as best as they could. But then, your source may change my opinion so I will look forward to it. Without it, please do not respond.

Do you really fail to see the hypocrisy? What Obama condemned in Honduras he supports in Egypt.

The problem is obvious. You think a military coup is the same as what happened in Iran (2009) and now in Egypt (2011). Would you please show me how the coup in Honduras is along the same lines as that in Egypt?

Another key question would be... did you support the coup in Honduras? Do you support the movement in Egypt? Why did you support one but not the other, if that is the case?
