Barack Obama Ignores Christians Being Killed In Egypt

It's no secret that Barack Obama's first election in 2008 and re-election in 2012 to POTUS was made through a brilliant strategy enforced by Godless, white liberals, which centered on, amongst other tomfoolery, motivating and placating the vital electoral base within the black community. By having an inexperienced, but half-black POTUS as a face of the nation, white liberals knew that they'd have a better shot at destroying all tenets of Christianity in this country then they would by electing a sometime centrist like the favored and more experienced Hillary Clinton. All the while black Americans continue to be satisfied with having a POTUS who somewhat looks like them, but has proven time and time again that he doesn't give a damn about their true wants and needs. In the meantime, Obama's servitude to the Godless, white, liberal agenda becomes more and more transparent and thus, Christians worldwide continue to suffer because of it:

I urge Cornerites to read Andrew Doran’s article on the homepage comparing the Muslim Brotherhood’s onslaught against Christians in Egypt to Kristallnacht. As you read his account, and as you see pathetic hand-wringing that’s overtaken much of official Washington, think about the following:

Egypt’s active duty military numbers over 450,000 soldiers, and many of them carry American equipment, including American small arms.
Egypt’s army is equipped with more than 2,600 American-designed (and largely American-built) main battle tanks.
Egypt’s air force flies more than 240 American fighters, most of them F-16s.
U.S. aid constitutes 25 percent of Egyptian defense spending.

Now, do you think we don’t have leverage?

As churches burn, as nuns are paraded through the streets by the Muslim Brotherhood, and as Christians across Egypt fear for their lives in the face of the jihadist onslaught, American policy can and should get very simple, very fast: Not one scintilla of aid until the Egyptian military demonstrates — by deeds, not just words — that it is committed to stopping this wave of persecution in its tracks, protecting the most basic human rights of its Christian citizens, and utterly defeating the Muslim Brotherhood. The crisis could escalate quickly to Balkan- or Syrian-level brutality and religious cleansing, but the Egyptian military — well-stocked with equipment we purchased, made, and keep in good repair — is capable of ending the onslaught against Christians.   

The Obama administration’s dance with the Muslim Brotherhood devil is one of the shameful episodes in recent American foreign policy, but we have a chance to correct our mistake before we have no good options left. In other words, before Egypt becomes Syria. The Muslim Brotherhood is our enemy, the Egyptian Christians are victims of jihad, and the American-supplied Egyptian military can and should exercise decisive force.  

It’s past time to call in Egypt’s debt. They may not repay us with money, but they can repay us with actions: Protect Christians and defeat the Muslim Brotherhood, or you’re on your own.

How George W. Bush Laid The Groundwork For Hosni Mubarak’s Resignation

You won't find this out from reading the lamestream media:

A small, controversial effort launched under President George W. Bush to fund and train election monitors in Egypt played a key role in the movement to topple President Hosni Mubarak’s regime.


The program, which provided millions in direct funding to prodemocracy groups, helped dispatch 13,000 volunteers to observe Egypt’s parliamentary elections in December. Thousands of those monitors, angered by what they said was blatant election rigging, joined the protests. Some became outspoken leaders; others used the networking and communication skills they learned to help coordinate 18 days of rallies.


“The very fact that they saw the fraud firsthand has contributed to them turning from monitors into activists,’’ said Saad Eddin Ibrahim, founder of the Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies, which has used a share of the US funds to train volunteers. “They became very disillusioned with the regime.’’


The evolving role of the monitors provides a measure of vindication for Bush administration officials and allies, including Elizabeth Cheney, the daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, who fought for permission to funnel money to the monitors, bucking a longstanding US policy of giving Egypt a veto over US funds.


“I certainly feel vindicated,’’ said Charles King Mallory IV, a former aide to Elizabeth Cheney, who could not be reached for comment.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is Stepping Down

A victory for the people of Egypt:

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down and handed control of the country to the military, Vice President Omar Suleiman said Friday in an address on state television.


The announcement touched off a wave of jubilation throughout Cairo's Tehrir Square, where tens of thousands of anti-government protesters had gathered demanding Mubarak's ouster hours after he failed to do so in an address on Thursday.


"In these difficult circumstances that the country is passing through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave the position of the presidency," Suleiman said. He has commissioned the armed forces council to direct the issues of the state."


Mubarak had sought to cling to power, handing some of his authorities to Suleiman while keeping his title. But an explosion of protests Friday rejecting the move appeared to have pushed the military into forcing him out completely. Hundreds of thousands marched throughout the day in cities across the country as soldiers stood by, besieging his palace in Cairo and Alexandria and the state TV building.


Nobel Peace laureate and leading Egyptian democracy advocate Mohamed ElBaradei applauded Mubarak's resignation.


"This is the greatest day of my life," he told the Associated Press. "The country has been liberated after decades of repression."

Democrats Conceding Bush Was Right on Middle East!

Newsmax.com:

Egypt’s perilous standoff over democratic reforms has put the Obama administration on the defensive, with no clear end in sight to a stalemate that has exposed the White House to fire from all sides of the political spectrum.


Some analysts have given President Barack Obama credit for managing a complicated, volatile crisis as well as anyone could reasonably expect.


But many other foreign-policy experts, worried about the historic wave of unrest now spreading across the Middle East, are reconsidering George W. Bush’s pro-democracy “freedom agenda,” which the Obama foreign policy team largely rejected as too simplistic.


The policy questions continued to emerge Sunday even as representatives of the Egyptian government met with opposition leaders and offered major concessions in an effort to quell the uprising.


The regime of Egyptian strongman and staunch U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak promised to release imprisoned protesters, end restrictions on reporters covering the crisis, and institute constitutional reforms.


The early reaction from the tens of thousands of demonstrators in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, however, suggested Egypt’s masses may not be satisfied until Mubarak is out of power, and possibly out of the country.


The Obama administration is drawing increasing fire for its apparent reluctance at times to bid Mubarak adieu:


* Nathan Brown, director of Middle East studies at George Washington University, said on CSPAN’s American Journal on Sunday that administration officials “have been shifting positions and calibrating constantly, and it certainly looks as if it’s an administration that’s kind of reeling with the punches. But to be fair to them, what they’re trying to do is react to realities on the ground.”

* Richard Land, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, who has just returned from a trip to Saudi Arabia, tells Newsmax that Obama’s soft-peddling of criticism toward Middle East despots has been “shameful.” “[George W.] Bush was absolutely right on his freedom agenda,” Land said. “He said the only way you’re going to fix this [terrorism] problem is to drain the swamp. … I think Obama’s whole human-rights agenda has been sadly missing. I mean, I know a lot of Democrats who are shocked by how Kissinger-esque it has been.”

* Longtime Bush antagonist Maureen Dowd credited Bush in part, saying he “meant well when he tried to start a domino effect of democracy in the Middle East and end the awful hypocrisy of America coddling autocratic rulers. But the way he went about it was naive and wrong.” By contrast Dowd said Obama was “calling around this week to leaders in the region to stanch the uncontrolled surge of democracy in the Arab world.”

* The New Republic literary editor Leon Wieseltier said Obama’s policy of engagement and multicultural globalism has had “the effect of aligning America with regimes and against peoples.” He added, “This was the case with our response to the Iranian rebellion in 2009, and it was the case with our response to the Egyptian opposition until a few hours ago. The striking thing about Barack Obama’s ‘extended hand’ is how utterly irrelevant it is to the epochal events in Egypt, and Tunisia, and Iran, and elsewhere.”

* Stephen Carter, a Yale professor and left-leaning author, told The Daily Beast readers that the protests in Egypt prove Obama’s predecessor was right to push for democracy in the Arab world. The foreign-policy establishment largely derided Bush’s democracy push as naïve, but now some observers say it could have given the United States more credibility in the Arab world.

* Elliott Abrams, a Bush-era deputy secretary of state, conceded that Bush’s actual policies didn’t always live up to his “freedom agenda” rhetoric. “But the revolt in Tunisia, the gigantic wave of demonstrations in Egypt and the more recent marches in Yemen all make clear that Bush had it right -- and that the Obama administration's abandonment of this mind-set is nothing short of a tragedy,” Abrams wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.

* Conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby of The Boston Globe wrote that human rights and reform has clearly not been a priority of the Obama administration, adding: “It is unworthy of a nation as great and free as ours not to promote the values it most esteems. It shouldn't take an upheaval in the Arab street to remind us that it is always in America's interest to promote liberal democracy.”

* In a story titled “Was George Bush right?” The Economist stated that “Mr. Bush was indeed a far more active champion of democracy than Mr. Obama has been,” but said Bush still bears responsibility for invading Iraq.


In a 2003 speech Bush stated: ‘Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe - because in the long run, stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty. As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export."

Obama Under Fire as ‘Day of Rage’ Dawns in Egypt

Newsmax.com:

Egyptian security forces are using tear gas, water cannon, rubber bullets, and bamboo canes to attack the tens of thousands of angry anti-government protesters who took to the streets Friday calling for a “day of rage” against Hosni Mubarak’s regime, prompting officials to knock the nation’s global Internet and telephone connections offline in a bid to disrupt the social media the rebels are using to coordinate their efforts.


Sources reported Friday morning that about 85 percent of Egypt’s Internet was offline because Egyptian authorities deactivated it. The only remaining link to the world reportedly is a small Internet service provider that the nation’s banks and equity markets use to link to the rest of the world.


CNN and German news crews report that government security forces have seized or destroyed camera equipment, adding to concerns that Egypt is “going dark.”


“They’re using violence everywhere to put the protesters down,” reported CNN correspondent Ben Wedeman in Cairo, who said most of the demonstrators are remaining peaceful, chanting, waving signs, and marching through the streets.


Marauding crowds of tens of thousands gathered in Cairo to call for a new government. Some threw rocks at police, who fired back with tear gas and rubber bullets.


In recent days, authorities have reported at least seven deaths, 100 injuries, and 1,000 arrests. At one point Friday, the crowds reportedly approached the Mubarak residence.


Concerns are growing that the extremist Muslin Brotherhood, which has thrown its support behind the demonstrations, may use the unrest to seize control of the country.


National hero and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei is in Cairo and told the Guardian newspaper that he believes the Mubarak government is “on its last legs.”


Other demonstrations sprang up around the country. Apparently they were inspired by Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution. Some observers are speculating that Morocco, Algeria, and Jordan could be the next countries hit by the wave of protests against the strong-arm governments in the Middle East.


ElBaradei himself was caught up in the turmoil Friday. After noon prayers ElBaradei and his supporters joined the protesters, only to face baton-wielding police and water cannons.


The Associated Press reports that “a soaking wet ElBaradei” was trapped inside a mosque for nearly an hour after a water cannon blasted him. ElBaradei’s supporters surround him to provide protection. The AP reports that police “laid siege” to the mosque, and fired tear gas canisters at cars outside the mosque, setting them ablaze.


The turmoil in Middle East also is generating chaos in Washington, where foreign policy experts in and out of the Obama administration are trying determine how America should respond.


The New York Times reported Friday that an analysis of WikiLeaks cables shows that U.S.-Egypt relations warmed up after President Barack Obama took office because he backed off of the Bush administration’s push for spreading democracy and human rights in the Middle East. While the Obama administration continued to push Mubarak to make reforms behind the scenes, it toned down the public pressure regarding human rights. One cable, for example, told a visiting Gen. David H. Petraeus that the United States was seeking to avoid “the public confrontations that had become routine over the past several years.”


Now, there are indications the administration’s effort to play global politics to its advantage by soft-pedaling Egypt's abuses could be backfiring. The Times story notes: “This balancing of private pressure with strong public support for Mr. Mubarak has become increasingly tenuous in recent days.”


Increasingly, the administration is coming under criticism for first appearing to encourage pro-democracy movements that it now seems very reticent to embrace. The clash over human rights also appears to be on the verge of triggering a political clash in the United States: Republicans well remember the tepid White House response to the crackdown on protesters following fraudulent elections in Iran in 2009. Republicans complained that President Barack Obama’s response was too timid.
