So, Mitt Romney wins the CPAC straw poll with 22%! Please, gag me now. What I'm referring to is the blantant dishonesty of Fox news, and their inability to accept both Ron Paul's influence and, in order, the growing influence of Libertarian ideology on the Republican party.
Another big event was the resignation of Hozni Mubarek as Egyptian president. One concern raised is the influence of the radical Islam in the new government. But, for those of us so inclined,, the issue is not new to us. The radical groups have been, ironically enough, telling the Muslim people the truth; that their repressive dictators have been backed and funded by the U.S. and Israel. Whether, going forward, more meddling in the affairs of others is a reasonable policy decision, I'll save for your judgement. However, this is not an isolated case, and is a recurring theme all across the Middle Eastern world.

Ouch! I hadn't see the Fox News deal re: Paul!

ReplyDeleteDid you know that the U.S. gives millions of dollars to egypt every year?
ReplyDeleteI've known for a couple years. In fact, we were the ones who propped up these dictators in the first place. Sometimes in the name of fighting communism; other times because they promise to be friendly to Israel (but violate their own peoples' rights).
ReplyDeleteI frankly think any involvement in the region is a mistake.
