Egypt Gets Worse. “As liberals continue to cede ground to the Muslim Brotherhood, it’s increasingly clear that democracy and liberty in Egypt do not point in the same direction. Mounting evidence suggests that the new Egypt will be less liberal than the old one, especially regarding religious minorities and women’s rights.”THE ARAB SPRING AIN'T ANY MORE REVOLUTIONARY THAN THE BOLSHEVIK ONE IN 1917 WHICH ALSO MERELY EXCHANGED ONE TYRANNY FOR ANOTHER: AN ARISTOCRATIC TYRANNY WITH ONE BASED ON A FALSE UTOPIANISTIC POLITICAL IDEOLOGY - MARXISM.
THE ARAB SPRING IS REPLACING NATIONALISTIC QUASI-NEO-BAATHISTS WITH PAN-ARABISTIC MOHAMMEDANS.
THE ONLY TRUE SOCIO-POLITICAL REVOLUTION IN HUMAN HISTORY REMAINS THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
THANK GOD THEY GOT IT RIGHT!
Many of those involved in the American Revolution didn't view the conflict as a revolution at all. Rather, they viewed what happened as the restoration of their rights as Englishmen. Indeed, many back then referred to the conflict as the War for Independence. Independence from the mother country was finally sought because the colonists realized that King George III was never going to allow the colonists their rights as Englishmen.
ReplyDeleteRight now, my literature class is reading Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities. Although the setting of the novel is the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror, the lessons are timely for us today. Revolution is dangerous!
imo the french revolution was also a failure and merely replaced one tyranny for another.
ReplyDeletein the usa, the war was for independence. then we revolutionized civil life by instituting a secular pluralistic republic as a democracy with divided power.
I'm glad that others are finally recognizing the reality:
