Immigration Reform and the House

The New York Times: Has the following Editorial on Immigration reform via the Senate and the Republican House, " It shrinks the deficit and satisfies big-business interests with more visas for agricultural and information-technology workers. It ushers millions of shadow workers into the higher-earning, taxpaying, aboveground economy, a sure recipe for jobs and growth. And it heaps billions on defense contractors to supply the surveillance tools and weaponry to fortify the border. ".

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

Telegraph: Reports the following from Egypt, " Muslim Brotherhood has called for a national uprising in response to the deaths of more than 50 supporters of the deposed president, Mohammed Morsi, who were shot dead at a sit-in... ".

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

Guardian: The Left wing paper has the following in its Editorial, " In the past 10 days, the security forces became a major instigator of disorder and violence  ".

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. 

Blair vs. UK/US - Egypt Crisis

Guardian: Reports the following on the different perspectives between Tony Blair and the present leaders in the US and UK when it comes to the Egyptian Coup , " Taking a different approach to both President Obama and William Hague, who have expressed reservations over the military takeover  ".

Lets Get Real:

One can argue from a left wing view that you either trust democracy OR NOT, if your from the right you always support the Government that supports your political interest in a region, thus the US supported right wing military dictators in its backyard and looked the other way when they removed threats without a trial, it what had to be done to keep the Communists from taking power, it was nasty and bloody folks, and normally course of events you would be appalled at such actions, but they were your SOBs, thus you supported them, the left of course went bonkers, it is nice to see that TB has gone further to the dark side from the view of the left, from the right he 100% right, one wonders if you had told the TB of 1997 that he would be so RIGHT WING, would he have thrown you out of No 10.   Power can corrupt folks, but it also shows you the real world, you have to get your hands dirty in a political sense, even accept the death of thousands, if at the end of the day your are protecting democracy or the interests of Western democracy for the long term.  Life is a B*tch folks, then you grow up, and become right wing. 

Blair on Egypt Coup - Crisis in Egypt

BBC News: Reports that former Labour PM Tony Blair has come out in support of the Army Coup in Egypt. 

Lets Get Real:

Lets see was this blog right to support the Egyptian Army in their coup, Tony Blair has come out in support, that is a joke folks, of course Mr Blair is correct, the Egyptian Army faced the breakdown of civil society, the Muslim Brotherhood was taking Egypt down the road of Iran,  as noted in the Sunday Times the Egyptian Army was worried that President Morsi was getting to close to Iran,  this was seen as a threat to the Army and to the secular society of Egypt.   Lets get real here folks, the millions of protesters in Egypt gave the Army the PR cover it wanted, one can postulate that the Army would have taken over one way or another, the Army has to write a secular Constitution, make sure that the Muslim Brotherhood can not take part in future election, and even if they do take part that there are other power centres to make sure that they can not rule by themselves,  create a US system of checks, nothing gets done in less other centres approve, fix the elections before they happen folks. 

Egypt Update - Crisis in Egypt 3

Telegraph Live - Egypt: Reports the following in its 10.19pm post, " Armed supporters of Mr Morsi have stormed North Sinai's provincial headquarters in the town of El-Arish after a gunfight and raised the black banner of Islamist militants.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

This is the threat folks, that Egypt will become another Syria, think of that folks, the Syrian Civil War has seen a death toll of a hundred thousand, the use of chemical weapons, Syrian refugees overwhelming Jordan, causing problems in Lebanon, Iraq, the growing power of Iran in the region, this leads to Israel coming under threat in the near future.  What if Al Qaeda gets a base in Egypt, this will return the Region to the bad days of the late 60s and 70s, Israel would be under constant threat from the Countries on its borders, but also with the added threat of Al Qaeda in to the mix, thus folks the Islamic threat has to be crushed, wiped out, otherwise the Oval will have a nightmare three years and half, look how old Jimmy Carter looked due to the Iran hostage crisis of 1979 - 81, President Obama already looks old, does he want to look ancient in 2017.
