Sam Stein, a person who has a responsible position in
journalism (Political Editor and White House
Correspondent -- Huffington Post), proved this morning on Morning Joe
(MSNBC) that he does not understand the situation in Egypt. He said that the Muslim
brotherhood is rightfully demanding that the world respect the elections that
put their candidate, +Mohamed Morsi in power. His campaign promise, the platform
on which he was elected, was to keep religion out of government or at least mute
its power. He assumed office and then did the exact opposite. The people took
to the streets to object. I was surprised at your lack of understanding, because
of your past political positions; you should be sensitive to the feeling of the
common people. They want democracy and not a theocracy. That, Sam Stein, is the
message. That is democracy. That is what Obama is striving for in Egypt. Say
what you will about Egypt, but they know they were duped and now they want to
correct their mistake.
The same thing happened in Wisconsin with the +Governor
Scott Walker recall election. Outside influence in the form of the +Koch Brother’s
money re-bought the election for Walker but the sentiment is there—the people
feel cheated just as the people of Egypt feel cheated. There are those in congress who object to the +Obama
approach. They want a servile subservient Egypt just as they had under +Mubarak.
That is not democracy but is hegemony. That is not a free world, but would be
an empire.
