Immigration Reform and the House


Lets Get Real:

The House Republicans should ask, not what the uber liberal NYT wants, put what that great President Ronald Reagan would have thought of the Senate Bill, it can be argued that Reagan understood that US and the Republican Party would gain from amnesty in the long term, the issue would be off the table, as this would have to be the last time, also it is the right thing to do,  also in the long term the Republicans would be seen supporting economic reform, illegals would pay tax, but also they would get paid well, now they are at the mercy of the employer, thus folks the Republicans on this should follow the advice of the NYT, yes folks, even the totally wrong, 100% of the time NYT gets something right, so Republicans vote for what the Gipper would have supported, pass Immigration reform, show that Government can work for the lowest of people in the US, also illegals want to get up the ladder, thus more votes for Republicans, its a win win folks, morale and political, vote for immigration reform. 


Muslim Brotherhood THREAT - Crisis in Egypt 3


Lets Get Real:

The Egyptian Army has to ACT fast, it has to suppress the Muslim Brotherhood, otherwise the Brotherhood will use deaths as PR to get the West to turn against the Army, then they could retake power and move Egypt down the road that Iran started in 1979.    Thus the Army has to ACT fast, either arrest leading supporters of the Brotherhood or exile them for life.  In any new elections the Brotherhood has to be contained, there have to be other centres of power, either through the Parliament or the Court system, the Muslim Brotherhood will use democracy but they will never give up power once they are given it or retake it, thus the Army has to be fast, smart, and keep the public on side, thus they need better PR, and not to shoot people in public, its not smart or good policy, make people think that they should support the MB.    Thus better strategy and PR from the Army, do not give the opposition the tools to beat you, this is the time to win and make it stick folks. 

The Left and Egypt - Crisis in Egypt 2


Lets Get Real:

This is typical of the left, when things get difficult they bail, the left  mocked Reagan when he called the USSR an Evil Empire and when he called on President Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, the left in the US and UK were opposed to the Reagan taking on the USSR in the 1980s, they just wanted an easy life and to appease the USSR.  Reagan understood the need to get his hands dirty, supporting freedom fighters from Afghanistan to Nicaragua, the man in the Oval has to expect to take decisions that the left will hate, on the whole the left has not gone after Obama when it comes to Egypt, but should the death toll raise expect the left to call for Morsi to be released and given back the Presidency, no matter that Morsi was removing Egyptian Democracy and was no friend of liberals.   The left is WEAK, lets hope the the Oval is stronger, the left are NEVER right when it comes to foreign policy, if the left had been in charge in the 80s the Berlin Wall would still be up, some on the left still think the USSR was a good idea, yes folks they are that far gone. 

Obama and the Egyptian Coup - Crisis in Egypt

BBC News: Reports that the Obama White House is refusing to call the Egyptian Coup a Coup.

Lets Get Real:

This is what GIVES politics a bad name folks, it was COUP, a military coup, but it was a coup that was needed to protect Egyptian democracy for the long term, it was in the interest of Egypt and the West for Morsi to be ousted.  If the US blocks its grant of 1.5 billion it will have no influence in Egypt, even worse the Russians could come in to offer military support and  money, Obama could not afford to have the Republicans throw the charge that Obama had lost Egypt, as Truman was accusing of losing China at the end of the 1940s.   Thus the Oval is right not to use the term COUP, Egypt can not afford to be lost, also the Egyptian Army did the Oval favour by getting rid of Morsi, as the Muslim Brotherhood was a threat to Israel in the long term, this is when Obama gets his hands dirty, he can not blame Bush 43, Egypt could be his Iraq, not in losses of troops but in how the US is looked upon by the rest of the World, liberals who support Obama, will have to twist the English language  as to keep supporting the Oval, Obama is doing what every President has done, with the exception of Carter, support the suppression of democracy for US interests, well Obama wanted the job, well here comes the dirty part, that liberals hate, and Conservatives realised is the REAL WORLD.
