Morsi, Morsy, Morsee, Morcey the Great

Are we going to suffer through another dictator in this region with several spellings to his name? WaPo spells it with a y, while all other spellings are with an i.

Who could see this power-grab coming? Well, all of us not delusional with visions of an Arab spring dancing in our heads.

Bill Kristol says there is still hope. Why, we can threaten them with our 2 billion in aid. 2 billion is chump change. The price of blackmail just went up -- it will cost us tens of billions to befriend this dictator. The sad part is that this is not sarcasm.

How many more times will we go through this in the mideast before we learn that our government has no business there?

Two kinds of stability

In relation to Egypt, we've heard a lot lately about "stability". However, the kind of stability that's preferred by those who value freedom is the rule of law stability when rational men and women honor rational law and apply it equally to everyone -- the kind of stability the people pf Egypt don't need is the stability that's maintained by guns, thugs and an iron-fisted dictator. 

ADL attacks Glenn Beck

Along with everyone else on the left who all misrepresent what Beck has said about George Soros. This is a probem on the left -- they don't play fair. None of Beck's critics are taking what Beck has said at face value, which is mostly what Soros himself has said. Finding Soros an illiberal power-monger should be a no-brainer, but obviously the left is having difficulty assessing Soros objectively.

All the liberals who are defending Soros make a miscalculation, believing they can spin this to make Beck the bad guy, but their spin has to do with their hatred of Beck, not the truth about Soros and the money he's spending to spread propaganda and control the message. My advice to reasonable liberals is to step back and take a long hard look at the progressive movement.

Soros relishes the PuppetMaster role, but this type of egomaniacal behavior is antithetical to liberal principles -- it's a throwback to rule by the best and brightest, which is now laughable.
