Just Some Thoughts...

I just have to get two things off my chest. This won't be pretty or too well-crafted, but I need to get this out.

1. Egypt is headed for an Islamist government. Just as the Iranians in 1979 thought that they were simply overthrowing a tyrant, so the Egyptians think today.

Just as the Iranians thought that they would enjoy greater freedoms under another leader, so the Egyptians think today. Just as the Iranians found their revolution hijacked by Islamists, so the Egyptians will very soon.

And just as the Iranians live under the terrible tyranny of shariah law administered at the ungodly hands of corrupt clerics, so will the Egyptians.

2. John Boehner has been accused of having at least two affairs with lobbyists and staffers. The accusation does not surprise me, and if this turns out to be true, it will surprise me even less.

When he forced the congressman (whose name escapes me now) who shouted "You lie!" during President Obama's State of the Union address to apologize, I knew that he was a person void of integrity and full of cowardice - a perfect example of the corruption that has infected the Republican Party from the inside out.

Can there be any wonder at the reasons "Tea Partiers" are angry, disillusioned, and just plain fed-up?
