Does it strike anyone else as strange that the MSM is all Ga-Ga (not “Lady”) over the “democratic revolutions” taking place in the Middle East and North Africa? Has it not occurred to them that democracy might not be a good thing in countries where 85 percent of the people believe anyone who converts from Islam to Christianity should be killed by whoever happens to be standing next to them at the time?
The liberals seem to have a blind spot where Islam is concerned, ascribing virtues to Muslims that they simply don’t have. This myopia is the other side of the coin to their blind hatred of George W. Bush and his War on Terror and the attempted introduction of Democracy in Iraq.
Maybe there are people in those chanting crowds and machine-gun wielding militia that identify with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, but I wonder. The female reporter from NBC who was gang raped by an Egyptian mob chanting “Jew! Jew! Jew!” (though she is not Jewish) might have a different idea.
And while we’re at it, perhaps we need to remind the MSM and even George W. Bush that the United States is not intended to be a Democracy. The pledge doesn’t say “And to the Democracy for which it stands” and the Constitution never uses the word “Democracy”. In a true Democracy, the majority rules and the minority gets trampled. In our Republic, we use democratic processes, but there are structures in place to protect us from actual Democracy.
