"It profits me but little that a vigilant authority always protects the tranquillity of my pleasures and constantly averts all dangers from my path, without my care or concern, if this same authority is the absolute master of my liberty and my life."

--Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America

Be Careful What You Wish For

A year ago the MSM and the Obama Administration were trumpeting an "Arab Spring" in which democratic forces in Egypt had risen up in the "Facebook Revolution" to overthrow the evil Mubarek regime.   Here now is the newly elected President of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, doing a Jesse Jackson-style call-and-response with a mob of his followers:

Morsi: The Koran was and will continue to be our constitution.  The Koran will continue to be our constitution.  The Koran is our constitution.
Crowd: The Koran is our constitution.
Morsi: The Prophet Muhammad is our leader.
Crowd: The Prophet Muhammad is our leader.
Morsi: Jihad is our path.
Crowd: Jihad is our path.
Morsi: And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration.
Crowd: And death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration.
Morsi: Above all – Allah is our goal.

To the yuppies in the MSM who dubbed the Egyptian coup the "Facebook Revolution"... going forward, you might want to remember to be careful what you wish for.
