OBAMA CONDEMNS EGYPTIAN COUP, DEMANDS MORSI BE REINSTATED

“It had been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.”
~Alexander Hamilton June 21, 1788 "'A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.'" ~ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS JEFFERSON, BUT UNPROVEN.
Karl Marx: Democracy is the road to socialism.

IT IS VERY HARD FOR ME TO WRAP MY MIND AROUND WHY OBAMA IS DEMANDING THAT, BASICALLY, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD BE REINSTATED IN EGYPT AFTER YESTERDAY'S COUP, BUT HE HAS DONE JUST THAT.
HE ALSO, AS ALL RECENT MISGUIDED, ILL-READ  PRESIDENTS HAVE DONE, INSISTED THAT EGYPT BECOME A DEMOCRACY, SOMETHING OUR FOUNDING FATHERS LOATHED. THEY GAVE US A REPUBLIC, NOT A DEMOCRACY!

RELEASED YESTERDAY, HERE IS THE BULK OF HIS STATEMENT,  THEN...IT WILL SURELY CHANGE TO "STRONGER LANGUAGE" IN THE DAYS AHEAD.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT'S "MORSI", NOT "MORSY"...LOOK IT UP...

<<The United States is monitoring the very fluid situation in Egypt, and we believe that ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people. Nevertheless, we are deeply concerned by the decision of the Egyptian Armed Forces to remove President Morsy and suspend the Egyptian constitution. 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 Morsy and his supporters. Given today’s developments, I have also directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the Government of Egypt. 

The United States continues to believe firmly that the best foundation for lasting stability in Egypt is a democratic political order with participation from all sides and all political parties —secular and religious, civilian and military. During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts.  Moreover, the goal of any political process should be a government that respects the rights of all people, majority and minority; that institutionalizes the checks and balances upon which democracy depends; and that places the interests of the people above party or faction. The voices of all those who have protested peacefully must be heard – including those who welcomed today’s developments, and those who have supported President Morsy. In the interim, I urge all sides to avoid violence and come together to ensure the lasting restoration of Egypt’s democracy. >>

I MUST CALL THAT AS I SEE IT....BLATANT HYPOCRISY.

AS WE WATCH AMERICA'S DISRESPECT FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL HER OWN PEOPLE, WATCH OUR CONGRESS AND WHITE HOUSE REMOVE ALL "CHECKS AND BALANCES" THAT REIN-IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT, AND PLACE "THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE" A FEW FEET BELOW WHALE DUNG IN THE DEEPEST OCEAN, WHO CAN CALL IT ANYTHING BUT HYPOCRISY?
IT GOES BEYOND THAT.
When America "helped" install Morsi, when we turned on our old friend Mubarak, when we "aided" the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization whose founder, Hassan al-Banna, established a Nazi spy network across the Arabian Peninsula and who promised Hitler that when Gen. Rommel's panzer division arrived in Cairo and Alexandria, the Muslim Brotherhood would ensure that all of the British troops would be killed, I also shook my head in disbelief.
HASSAN AL-BANNA WROTE PROLIFICALLY ABOUT HIS HATRED FOR JEWS, THE WEST, AND THE EVIL CONCEPTS OF DEMOCRACY.
(On the latter, he was correct!)
WHY AID SUCH A NETWORK OF RADICALS WITH A NAZI-LEANING PAST?
BUT THAT'S WHAT AMERICA DID.
AND NOW, OBAMA WANTS MORSI AND THE BROTHERHOOD BACK!
WHY?
THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE OBVIOUSLY NEVER WANTED MORSI AND HIS COHORTS IN POWER OR HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SO EASILY DEPOSED, THE "ELECTION" WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN RIGGED, EVEN BY SOME WHO SUPPORTED MORSI, AND NOW THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE HAVE CORRECTED THAT MISTAKE!
LEAVE THEM ALONE!
LEAVE ALL OF THE MIDDLE EAST ALONE!
GET THE HELL OUT OF OTHER NATIONS' BUSINESS, MR. PRESIDENT!
JUST SIT BACK AND HOPE THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN EGYPT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO YOU!

Morsi promised everything, equality, progress, human rights for all, and delivered ONLY expansion of his party's agenda over all.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
When the Egyptian people cast votes, it was much as we vote here..."FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS"...WHICH IS STILL EVIL.

Morsi, in just two short years, had almost destroyed the very fabric that was tentatively holding Egypt together. He was completely authoritarian, absolutely devoted to his own party's idea of what was "best for Egypt", and nothing had turned him aside from pursuing his own interests, the people be damned.
Egyptians, in ever-greater numbers, saw this.
Any thinking people can see it, if they uncover their eyes and face reality.

Obama referenced "free and fair elections".
HA!
REALLY?
WHERE?
Are there any of those in today's world where any/everything is so easily manipulated by those in power, the REAL power behind each government?
Egyptians knew they hadn't seen a "FAIR" election.

Why we keep insisting that "DEMOCRACY" is a cure-all for all social ills is beyond my comprehension when this nation of ours was founded as a REPUBLIC, NOT A DEMOCRACY, when our OWN founders WARNED AGAINST "democracy".

READ!
Our United States Constitution states in Art. 4 Sec. 4 Par. 1:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government." (Not a democracy.)
Our Pledge of Allegiance states -
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands.

LET'S LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DEMOCRACY AND A REPUBLIC, MAYBE THEN YOU WILL SEE WHY SO MANY AMERICANS ARE GETTING AWAY FROM THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM AND SIGNING ON WITH THE "CONSTITUTIONALIST" GROUPS.

Republic - A government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governed according to law. Laws that are absolute and cannot be changed set a republic. The body works within those guidelines.

Democracy - A government by direct majority vote of the people. When an issue is to be decided, the entire population votes on it; the majority wins and rules. A democracy is ruled by majority feeling, what the Founding Fathers described as "mobocracy". For example: in a democracy, if a majority of the people decides that murder is no longer a crime, murder will no longer be a crime. As in the case of abortion in a Republic, murder will always be a crime, because it is an absolute law.

None of our founding fathers wanted a democracy!

Benjamin Rush, signer of the Declaration of Independence - " a simple democracy ... is one of the greatest of evils."

James Madison, U.S. President, "'Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death.'"
"'Democracy was the right of the people to choose their own tyrant.'"

John Adams, signer and U.S. President- "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the world.'"

John Quincy Adams, U.S. President "The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived."
Benjamin Franklin, "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
John Witherspoon, signer of the Declaration of Independence- "'Pure democracy cannot subsist long nor be carried far into the departments of state - it is very subject to caprice and the madness of popular rage.'"

200 years ago another man had that same opinion as Franklin:
"'A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.The average age of the world’s civilizations has been 200 years.  These nations have progressed through the following sequence:

from bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to complacency;

from complacency to apathy;

from apathy to dependency;

from dependency back into bondage.'"
~Sir Alexander Fraser Tytler (1742-1813)

YOU CAN LOOK ALL YOU WANT, BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND THE WORD "DEMOCRACY" IN THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THE CONSTITUTION, NOR THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
WE WERE TO HAVE A REPUBLIC!

WHAT DOES HISTORY SAY ABOUT DEMOCRACY?Democracy started in Greece and it destroyed Greece. It promoted to the masses that every person should live/do 'right', which was in fact, 'right' according to his own way. This is better known as situational ethics. Aristotle wrote that a Democracy was a form of government where every man voted in his own self interest.
Rome started out as a REPUBLIC, and then went to a democracy, then to a dictatorship. WITH EACH CHANGE, ROME DECLINED, THEN ROME FELL.
A republic teaches that there are absolute rules which all people must obey regardless of their status of life....WHICH IS PERHAPS WHY ELITISTS HATE THE IDEA OF A REPUBLIC???A Democracy gives us the "principles of majority rules" and frequent elections with options, but little more. It does not protect us from the government.
DEMOCRACY HAS NEVER PROTECTED THE PEOPLE FROM THE GOVERNMENT!
DEMOCRACY HAS NEVER PROTECTED THE COMMON MAN FROM THE MAN WHO WIELDS THE MOST POWER!
DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN DEFINED AS A LYNCH MOB...THE MAJORITY AGREES TO THE HANGING!

"Democracy consists of choosing your dictators after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear."
"Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be."

NO, MY FRIENDS, WHEN ANY MAN PREACHES DEMOCRACY, LOOK CAREFULLY!
HE IS SPEAKING FROM A TALL IVORY TOWER, FROM A PLACE OF GREAT POWER, AND HE'D SOONER DESTROY A NATION, THIS REPUBLIC,  THAN GIVE UP THAT POWER!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REPUBLIC, OUR ORIGINAL NATION, AND A DEMOCRACY, OUR PRESENT NATION, AS WE CAN LOOK AND SEE, IF WE WANT TO, IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDER AND CHAOS.

TODAY, CHAOS REIGNS.
AND OBAMA WANTS THAT FOR EGYPT?
WELL, THAT IS WHAT ALL OUR ELECTEDS HAVE FOISTED UPON US!
THEY'VE SLOWLY, BUT WITH APPARENT EASE, CONVINCED US ALL THAT WE MUST HAVE A DEMOCRACY HERE.
THEY LIED, THEY LIE, THEY WILL LIE UNTIL WE ALL FORGET THE GREAT REPUBLIC THAT OUR FOUNDERS FOUGHT SO HARD TO GIVE US.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, WHEN ASKED WHAT HAD COME OUT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF 1787, SAID, "A REPUBLIC, IF YOU CAN KEEP IT!"
LOOKS LIKE WE DID NOT KEEP IT.
LOOKS LIKE WE LOST IT ALL.
THAT SHOULD MAKE FOR SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND MANY TEARS.
