RPI: CFR Leslie Gelb on Egypt: Hold Your Nose and Back the Junta!

[JCDenton0451]

I reject both forms of tyranny.

It's silly to apply our American notion of Constitutional republic to Egypt. The people of Egypt have a right to setup any government they like even if it means the government dominated by the social conservatives from the Muslim Brotherhood. lol

 

[fr33]

Pay your taxes. American weapons manufacturers need someone to kill. Might as well be Egyptians today. Tomorrow or the next day it will be Americans. Aren't you proud to be an American? Democracy fuck yeah.

Let me repeat myself.

How about we stop interfering in the politics of other countries.

Thank you.

Zipper, you never fail to disappoint. The former president of the CFR and current president emeritus > than some fellow. Also, YES, democracy is bad. HELLO?

What form of government would you recommend?

 

[green73]

What form of government would you recommend?

None.

 

[FrankRep]

What form of government would you recommend?

A Constitutional Republic


Ron Paul: A Republic, Not a Democracy

 

[green73]

A Republic.

The People's Republic of China or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?

 

[FrankRep]

The People's Republic of China or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?

A Constitutional Republic

 

[green73]

A Constitutional Republic

Oh yeah, that's worked out well.

 

[Petar]

Oh yeah, that's worked out well.

All things considered, yes it has.

 

[FrankRep]

Oh yeah, that's worked out well.

Ron Paul still has faith that the Constitutional Republic can be restored, as do I.

 

[Zippyjuan]

None.

Ah- so mob rule and tyrany by the majority. I see.

 

[FrankRep]

Ah- so mob rule and tyrany by the majority. I see.

Well yeah, Anarchy will create a power vacuum and a dictator like Napoleon Bonaparte will get sucked into power. The people will demand order out of the chaos.

 

[Zippyjuan]

That will encourage Liberty and Freedom. Or perhaps not.

 

[green73]

All things considered, yes it has.

Don't conflate an incipient--and thus impotent--government with the economic success of America in the past two hundred years. The parasite was at a severe time dis-advantage to that killing Europe's economy. America's parasite caught up fast though, the early 1970s.

 

[green73]

Ah- so mob rule and tyrany by the majority. I see.

And thus you show your total ignorance of libertarian thought.

 

[twomp]

I think the CFR and Obama have no clue on wtf they are doing now. You have John Kerry cheering on the coup two weeks ago. You have Obama condemning the military attacks recently. You have John McCain and Lindsey Graham voting to keep aid yet now they are wanting to end aid. It's like somebody missed a memo. I do find in interesting that our media is all in sync on Egypt though.

Ron needs to watch out what goes under his name with this institute. Eric Margolis wrote a horrible piece the other day basically saying we need to support the brotherhood. Received lots of negative comments, including one of my own.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

There's a reason why the $60+ million CFR owned and operated building is one block from the Old Executive Office Building/White House. CFR's other building is located on the upper east side of Manhattan.

These scumbags only look to control and profit off the raping of people and lands.... PERIOD!

 

[pcosmar]

Can you have liberty and freedom without democracy?

Yes.
