Jon Stewart Takes On Conservative Hypocrisy Over Middle Eastern Democracy (VIDEO) (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/18/jon-stewart-conservative-hypocrisy-middle-eastern-democracy-video_n_1892946.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003)


Do these idiots really even listen to themselves? Foreign policies under Bush is good. The same foreign policies under Obama is bad. Morons.

great video. Its very true, GOP play horrible politics when it comes to foreign policy, its a disgrace.

I enjoyed Sam Harris' take on the recent Shenanigans from the ME:

Freedom to offend (http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/on-the-freedom-to-offend-an-imaginary-god)

At moments like this, we inevitably hear—from people who don’t know what it’s like to believe in paradise—that religion is just a way of channeling popular unrest. The true source of the problem can be found in the history of western aggression in the region. It is our policies, rather than our freedoms, that they hate. I believe that the future of liberalism—and much else—depends on our overcoming this ruinous self-deception. Religion only works as a pretext for political violence because many millions of people actually believe what they say they believe: that imaginary crimes like blasphemy and apostasy are killing offenses.

So I'm hearing Obama and company had 3 day warning about the uprising in the Middle East and did nothing. Where has this been in the news?

I have not seen it on the national news but I could have missed the coverage.

Libyans storm militia in backlash of attack on US. - By MAGGIE MICHAEL | Associated Press, yahoo news. (http://news.yahoo.com/libyans-storm-militia-backlash-attack-us-225317193.html)

Really bad news from the middle east today -

This morning the Muslim Brotherhood sent a warning that if the United States continued meddling in Egypt , Libya , and other potential hot Spots in the Middle East, they intend to cut off America 's supply of 7-11 and Motel 6 managers.

If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell, AT&T and AOL customer service reps.

Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened not to send us any more Presidents.

um, how are they going to get the indians to play along with that? sounds like more empty threats ;)
