Mumbarak is out

So they say . . . I am not so sure they gained anything here.  He had a lot to do with the military that is now in charge.  I think in the long run they will find out they just traded Coke for Pepsi. . . .

what's next for Egypt

A good take on it :http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/archives/311956.php

 

I think this is going to push things over the edge for one side or the other.  Personally I think Mubarak is looking to push the protesters to the point they do something that will let him crack down hard on them then tell the rest of the country he had to do it to mantain the peace. . . .

 

We will see

Gunrunner becomes Gunwaker and the BATFE joins the crime

Go read it HERE

Looks like the BATFE is helping the Mexican drug lords get guns, then blaming lax gun laws here. . . a win win for the power grab folks.  They get points with the drug lords and they get an excuse to push for new gun control. . . .

Remember folks, it is all about the contorl.

Mubarak stays put. . . .

No surprise – Mubarak is not stepping down. . . now what?

If you listen to the speech it seems that they are pushing the idea that the protesters are young folk and need to go home to their parents.  Mubarak is also pushing that his staying in place is going to keep Egypt stable for all. . . .

I think the fun and games have started. . . On one side you have Mubarak who is now going to play the political games and try to isolate the protesters from the rest of the folks in Egypt so he can deal with them.  HOW he deals with them is now the question.  Will they break or will he do something TO break them?  And what will the army do??

As for the protesters they are REALLY PISSED now.  They thought (and all the news was saying) that Mubarak would step down.  So, are they really just kids or are they going to push back? 

I think we are getting to the point that Egypt is on borrowed time.  I don't see how this will end peaceably with the war of words heating up the way it is.  Mubarak and his VP are insulting the protesters by saying the government will talk to their parents and their parents will get them to come home. . . . treating them like little kids. . . .

We will see what happens soon I think, probably by the time we (in the US) wake up in the morning we will know what the next move will be.

I can't wait to see how Obama and his lack of any real experience will act on this to protect US interest and our access to the Suez Canal.  If that closes down it will have a major impact on the world economy.  You now also have many other governments in the Middle East getting a bit jumpy that this freedom stuff may spread to their little world too and they don't want that.  And lastly, how will Israel deal with this?  Depending on who ends up in charge this could put Israel in a bad spot with another enemy on their boarder who can supply the Palestinians in their fight against Israel. . . .

This is going to get moving soon, and pick up steam quick.  Too bad we don't have someone in the White House that knows what to do about it. . .

GO WATCH

Gun Control and Obama

OK, starting to hear talk that Obama will begin pushing for some gun control BS again. . .

 

Keep your eyes and ears open folks, and make sure you write your Congresscritter to let them know you are watching and won't stand for this BS. 

 

You would think with our unemployment still near record highs, millions falling off the rolls they have been out of work so long, spending out of control, the Middle East in a mess and all the other good stuff going on they would have more important things to look into.

 

I think we need to remind them already about that little message we sent in November - Get to work on the important stuff and stop stepping on my RIGHTS!

Gun Grabbers at it again

Looks like the Dems are back to the old Bait and Switch, or at least hide trick again. . .

 

Got this in my email today:

 

Senate Democrats are planning to execute a sneak attack on gun rights as soon as TODAY!

Their plan is to sneak Carolyn McCarthy's Magazine Ban into law as an amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration Bill, a routine piece of generally non-controversial legislation.

 

Wish I could say this shocked me but it doesn't.  They don' t care what we want, they know better than we do if we would just submit like good little slaves they would take care of us. . . .

 

HELL NO!

 

So folks it is time to start to write and call again.  Make good and sure your Congressmand and Senator know full well you don't want any more attacks on your rights.  And let them know we are watching for this crap!

 

Thanks

 

 

Middel East and Egypt revolts

What is going on in the Middle East?

 

Egypt  is going nuts and has almost replaced it's dictator with a mostly peaceful revolt.  Sure there are a hundred or so dead and many wounded, but it could have been so much worse.  Just think of the bloodshed that would have been had the Army not stayed out of it for the most part and just protected the treasures of Egypt. ..  .

 

And now look at the people of Egypt.  All but disarmed but still defending their homes from looters with sticks and golf clubs.  It is at times like this that I thank God we have guns here to protect ourselves and our homes with.

 

I also wonder, did we start all this?  And no, I am not bad mouthing the USA. . . . I mean by freeing Iraq did we start the flame or at least fan it?  It seems that the whole region is starting to revolt.  The people want to toss out the dictators and move toward freedom.  I can't help but wonder if the removal of Sadam did not help these folks to see that it was possible to toss out the bums and put in a new government.

 

Or is this Obama's fault?  Is he seen as weak by the rebels and so they are taking advantage of a USA that does not have the guts to get involved to stop them.  (and would we want to if we could???)  I think that Obama's lack of backbone may have been seen as a chance by these folks to move against these governments that we support.  Especially after the last election which showed that Obama is weak at home and may not have a second term.  This may also have pushed things a bit. . . who knows.

 

Now the down side. . . what will all of this do to the price of oil?  If the Suez Canal gets closed or something else disrupts oil shipments we are all in for a world of hurt.  I don't think the world economy is that health yet to take that kind of hit.  We could look at an oil disruption sending the world economy back into a recession or depression again.

 

Here in the US, oil/gas prices are already up a good $0.50 from a few months ago and climbing.  If we hit $4 a gallon again for gas I can see us going back into recession as folks panic on how to afford basics like food and heating oil.  I think other countries are on even thinner ice and would hit trouble before we did. . .

 

So this is a mixed blessing.  It is always good to see people take power back from the government but at what cost.  We cannot take the hit on oil prices, and we sure don't need radicals moving into the power vacuum as these dictators are removed from power. . . . time will tell
