"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." - Ronald Reagan


I'm watching the Egyptians on the news and their rioting in the streets... Fox News says it's because they are unhappy due to their economy, and that most make only $2 a day. In an effort to stop the protests, the Egyptian government killed the internet and cell phones so they could not social network or text. (I'm wondering how they could afford computers or cell phones on $2 a day, but maybe they all share?) Obama just spoke on television, and said things such as the Egyptian government should turn the internet back on, let the people have free speech, and not punish the peaceful protesters. And I'm thinking that here in America, a bill was recently passed giving HIM the power to kill the internet and that we are finding OUR free speech rights being taken away. So he's for all those principles when it's someone else? I was thinking earlier today that if the internet was "killed" in the US for any length of time, our economy would suffer terribly, as most big businesses do a huge portion of business on the internet.

Egypt has been cracking for awhile... the last few years there have been many stories that it is no longer a safe country for Christians to visit any more as the jihadist Muslims have been killing Christians and burning down churches.
It seems the stage is being set...
