Why Mursi Got the Boot
— Ace

Great article at PJM about how Mursi got elected on promises of forming an inclusive government with responsibility and power spread to all elements of Egypt's power blocs -- and broke every one of them.

First of all, in final run-off balloting for the presidency, the two candidates offered to the public were the Muslim Brotherhood's idiot Mursi and a general associated with the Mubarak regime. Not the options most of the public wanted.

To convince non-Islamists to vote for Mursi, he made some promises.

The second-line Muslim Brotherhood leaders started connecting with revolutionary figures, opposition leaders, and youth movements to convince them to support Morsi in the run-off election. These MB leaders asked for political support for the MB candidate, but the leaders of the January 25th revolution had some demands of their own. They wanted to “reconstruct the constitution drafting assembly to represent all Egyptians; appoint 3 vice presidents: a woman, a revolutionary youth leader, and a Christian; and to appoint a national unity government.” Eventually, Morsi and his allies approved the deal and signed a document to guarantee the achievement of these promises.

The Egyptian people decided to trust the Muslim Brotherhood at the time because they couldnÂ’t accept military rule represented by General Shafiq.


...

But after a while, everything became clear to us. He broke all his presidential promises. He excluded the opposition from the government, which consisted mainly of old Mubarak ministers and Muslim Brotherhood members. In addition, he appointed a Muslim Brotherhood ally as his vice president.

All the aforementioned broken promises are nothing compared to the constitution drafting assembly. More Muslim Brotherhood members were appointed than was promised. Christians, opposition leaders, and revolutionaries were banned from the assembly. The Islamists then wrote the worst constitution in the whole history of Egypt and the Middle East.

If you like your pluralistic government you can keep your pluralistic government. Psyche!

There's more too, but I can only steal so much.

On page 2, he explains his theory as to why Obama has been such a Muslim Brotherhood Booster. He thinks it's all because of Syria, if you can imagine that, and the Muslim Brotherhood making promises about getting Assad out and keeping the flow of heavy weapons in check and making sure Syria follows a non-jihadist course and etc.

And obviously Obama should believe this, because Mursi kept all his promises before, right?

Mursi's disastrous, inept, oath-breaking reign might wind up doing more to advance republicanism than, if you can believe this, a single gaseous speech by Obama.

One can only hope that America learns from Obama as Egypt learned from Obama's pet Mursi.

10 What is interesting in the statements was the use of the word “technocrat”. It seems that most of the outgoing government had spent most of their time, prior to joing the previous government, praying and reading the Quran all day, and had no executive experience.

“No executive experience” .. hmm .. I’ve seen this somewhere else before today .. but where ?

22   US official: US orders diplomats to leave Egypt

Published: 07.04.13, 00:05 / Israel News

A US official says the State Department is ordering nonessential US diplomats and the families of all American Embassy personnel to leave Egypt after the Egyptian military removed Morsi and in anticipation of potential violence.

 

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the official wasn't authorized to discuss it publicly, said the State Department had placed the US Embassy in Cairo on "ordered departure" status for nonemergency staff and dependents all employees. That means that those covered by the order are required to leave the country. (AP)

The above humor is one of the reasons I hate the left's setting up Muslims as a Grievance Group that cannot be mocked or criticized. There is a ton of great behavior there just waiting to be mocked and ridiculed, ya know, clit mutilations, stonings, beheadings, 10 year old brides, goat f**king, persecution of teh gheys, bombings of school buses, setting girls' schools on fire. And we can't be entertained by jokes about these abominations because the comedians, actors, and writers have all been neutered by the political correctness crowd.

31 Jonathan Alter Links Egyptian Military Coup To Obama's Cairo Speech


. . . “The president also gave a very famous speech in Cairo,” noted fill-in host Joy-Ann Reid. She said that Obama’s speech represented a shift from an America that had previously supported autocratic regimes in the region.

“The street that we’re seeing right now is eh street that the president was addressing in Cairo in 2009,” Alter said. “What he wants is a new generation of Arabs who respect Democracy, who are more secular – which is one of the more fascinating dimensions of this that hasn’t been commented on.”

75 Many liberals are determined to transform Islamist groups into the Muslim version of Germany's Christian Democratic Union. They are convinced that putting Islamists in power democratically will force them to moderate and become "normal" political parties. That they will be Muslim Democrats the same way there are so many Christian Democrat parties in Europe. I think Obama is a brain-dead liberal more than a secret muzzie. So I think that is more his reasoning.

Posted by: Flatbush Joe Obama, like much of the neo-Marxist Left (Real Reds) want to harness the vitality of the Islamic world (the Green horse) to their desires for world-wide socialism and rule. The Red Rider on the Green Horse. The Tudeh Party (communist) in Iran (in the late 70's) had such dreams prior to the ousting of the Shah, and did support work for the Islamic Revolution. Ayatollah Khomeini had them all imprisoned or shot afterwards. He knew exactly what he was doing, and what they were about. The Left is vain and stupid, and still thinks they can manage "human nature" with dialectical materialism. Ha-ha.

148 55 Oh, there's no walking a lot of this back. The changes are permanent (here). But we can overcome them. But there is no going back. Obama's lies and serial falsehoods will plague us for a very long time. I hope we draw the right lessons (as a country) from this, but as long as the intellectual class and academics exist, they will continue to repeat and echo his lies as "truth" , "profound", "remarkable", then we are stuck with his legacy. And he is still protected by Black Democratium, the most inpenetrable substance in modern politics today. I am still constantly amazed at the continued falsehoods that some historians repeat about Stalin, of all people. It just goes on. Posted by: Reader C.J. Burch writes more nonsense ...... at July 03, 2013 05:49 PM (RFeQD) See, I think at some point the "smart" blacks are going to wake up from the nightmare that is Obama and see that he and his wife were in it for themselves. The economic and social conditions of blacks have gotten worse under this man. And frankly, he never had any intention of "lifting up" the blacks, or shall I say lower-class blacks. He is quite comfortable in the elitist world, where he was raised and educated. The ignorant blacks have yet to realize that he played on their emotions, inciting racial fear and hatred towards their fellow countrymen...all so his ass could be elected and attempt to transform this nation into a European one. And I will add that by him doing this, it only hurts blacks and other lower-class individuals in the end. I have had many an argument with other blacks, pointing this out, but to no avail. I have said the same to liberal whites and I get the same indignant attitude. Honestly, the only way this will be settled is when liberals, especially blacks, are called on their racist behavior. I really don't care if blacks are shamed and ridiculed anymore. I am sick of this crap. People's give-a-shit meters are either about to expire or are already expired. I had a black friend ask me the other day if I was upset about all the criticism directed at the state's star witness in the George Zimmerman trial. Uh no...she should be ridiculed and her family publicly shamed for her behavior. There was a time when folks knew that no matter what, you don't embarrass the family or make them look bad. Sigh...not so much anymore. Just my two cents.

Instead they've been duped by he Democrats into believing the perpetual victimhood/America is racist/they can never get ahead because of the system so why bother, myth and the result is a generation or two of Jenteal's. When your biggest heroes are Snoop Dog, Spike Lee, Jay Z, the Bloods and Crips, when you think assimilating into American society makes you and Unlce Tom or a sellout, then all is lost. How do you break that cycle? Posted by: J.J. Sefton at July 03, 2013 06:18 PM (+98Gb) I see rickb223 beat me to it. Stop welfare immediately, end all affirmative action and any other racial preferences. Start making them eat their words. They like to trot out Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech" and say that's how they want society. Make them live by those standards espoused in that speech. Cut off all the racist race hustlers...discredit them and publicly shame, humiliate them. This shirt has to stop! My maternal great-grandparents were born to freed slaves, they became sharecroppers and eventually bought a forty acre farm that is still in the family. I could go on a describe my father's side of the family as well. There are many blacks who did NOT get caught up in this racist bullshit. Unfortunately, they are shouted down, ridiculed and discriminated against by others who don't want the truth out there. I don't know if what I typed made sense; I just know that I am fed up with it. Obama has created a racial mess that could get very ugly. And that will be a lasting legacy for him.

Egypt's currency was tied to ours, from what I hear (large amounts of foreign aid will do that even if there wasn't an overt currency peg), so when the Fed got to printing, they got hit by our inflation. Which we could live with because we tend to have disposable income. Egyptians don't, and starved as a consequence.

Also, we're gonna have a team full of people trying to prove themselves, and his provides a rare verisimilitude between player and Coach. I have zero questions about his command of the X's and O's.

295 >>They ain't gonna kill him because the MB will go apeshit if they do. The military has been basically running Egypt for decades. They allow people to hold political titles as long as they play nice but they absolutely zero fear of the MB. They have a long history of tossing them in jail or disappearing them when need be. Sayyid Q'tub who is the spiritual founder of al Qaeda and was a leading member of the MB spent many years in Egyptian jails. Same with Zawahiri. The Egyptian military is so intertwined with the economy it's impossible to tell where one starts and the other ends. That's actually good news. They don't want instability or war, they want to keep making money and they only make money when the economy works. I have no problem with the military running Egypt as long as they understand that they can do whatever they want to the MB as long as they keep them on a leash. I have zero confidence Obama will make them understand this.

So instead of dancing we just sat in silence and refused to make eye contact with anyone of the opposite gender. And we won!!

366 Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says he supports a pathway to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally as part of an overhaul of the nation's immigration system. Walker was then asked about the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally. The editorial board asked if he could "envision a world where with the right penalties and waiting periods and meet the requirements where those people could get citizenship?" "Sure," Walker responded. "I mean I think it makes sense. http://tinyurl.com/l6lzyhs CAC's junk hardest hit.

We could    have   had  The Zen Master   down here to coach DH   when it was clear that   Van   Gundy was on his way out. But nooooo.  He might have been able to settle him down  and make him into another legend.

 

DH has talent, no doubt, but he needs to   get his head right.  Perhaps another coach can do it, where will be anybody's  guess.

Those comments at the Daily News were kind all purpose comments useful on any topic.

"Critics dislike the MB's close relations with the Palestinian Islamists of Hamas, who control the Gaza Strip. "

And another with a lot of bluster from Morsi loyalists I think it was published just before the army put the lid on the media.

I had a 'pull quote' where it was claimed this wasn't about Morsi being an 'islamist' but that the economy was in such bad shape, but lost it. I'm kinda looking for where Morsi is now, in hiding or detained by the military.

   Flag burning is a particularly hot button for me.

   I served and bled under that flag.

   Burning it is in NO WAY an expression of free speech.

   It is instead willful and malicious desecration of our national symbol, and by extension a denial of the principles and ideals the nation was founded on.

    So don't even bother to tell me that SCOTUS has decreed that it does meet the requirement.

     You can burn a flag a day if you choose, God help you if it is tried around me.

"By the end of the night, Mr. Morsi had been taken into custody and blocked from all communications,"
http://preview.tinyurl.com/o5loqxc
"Egyptian security forces had arrested at least 38 senior leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood, including Saad el-Katatni, the chief of the groupÂ’s political party, and others were being rounded up as well, security officials said."

so now the rest of the US Media will know how to report this story. If Egypt lets Morsi talk, or go into exile, it could be Khomeini all over again, stirring up trouble from outside the country.

My friend refused and Geraldo was all kinds of a simpering, elitist dick.  Big surprise.  When his complaints when up the chain, the Vice Admiral told him to piss up a rope.  Good times.

Posted by: Cheri at July 03, 2013 04:18 PM (EAgmr)

489 this showed up on Yahoo news about ten minutes ago (first couple of paragraphs):

President Barack Obama urged Egypt's military Wednesday to hand back control to a democratic, civilian government without delay, but stopped short of calling the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi a coup.

In a carefully worded statement, Obama said he was "deeply concerned" by the military's move to topple Morsi's government and suspend Egypt's constitution. He said he was ordering the U.S. government to assess what the military's actions meant for U.S. foreign aid to Egypt.

Under U.S. law, the government must suspend foreign aid to any nation whose elected leader is ousted in a coup d'etat. The U.S. provides $1.5 billion a year to Egypt in military and economic assistance that is considered a critical U.S. national security priority.

"I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsi and his supporters," Obama said.

The U.S. wasn't taking sides in the conflict, committing itself only to democracy and respect for the rule of law, Obama said.
