Default Freedom comes from God

And the hand of God is over the earth, and good is moving against evil.

What people might do with their freedom is up to them.

Revolution is easy. Government is not.

It's so pathetic how the Obama administration is trying to play the middle. Not go against Mubarak, but not abandon him either.

Real Politik. It's like Henry Kissinger is running things again.

If Mubarak falls, then Israel falls. Something along these lines. Freedom is too dangerous to Israel.

Another case of a man, Obama, not stepping up in the moment when history calls. Pathetic.

Not that Bush would be better. Or any of these other douches we have for our leaders.

Biden will never be able to live this down.

It will stain him forever.

Just so we don't confuse this as a liberal/conservative thing, I should note that the National Review's editors have written an article advocating that Mubarak stay in office.

And they have the gall to call the Obama response "tepid."

It's hard to know who to hate more: the democrats or the Republican establishment.

To watch Al Jazeera, English version:

A lot better source for news than the shitty American sources.

NY Times also suggesting that Mubarak should stay, but open political system up.

So cowardly. You could practically put the NR editorial and NYT editorial side by side. THey are essentially identical.

Whose water is Stanley Kurz carrying over at NRO? That guy is nothing but a drumbeat of fear-mongering and dictator-propping and Islamo-baiting.

This guy could make Henry Kissinger blush.
