Could An Egyptian Revolution Happen Here?

Of course not. We don't have enough Egyptians here to pull one off and, the one's we do have probably love it here so, that's NOT gonna happen.

There's supposed to be a Tea Party revolution going on here as we speak but, it's not like any revolution you've ever seen or heard of before. It's financed by the billionaire Koch brothers and only our nations wealthiest 2% will benefit from whatever their efforts bring. Those fellas are probably familiar with the adage, "When there's blood in the streets, it's time to buy property". though they might encourage certain people to *talk* about blood in the streets, I don't think they really see that as wise business in this country, at this time. I hope they don't.....

If you got the nations angriest people to surround the White House and chant for President Obama to step down, you'd have only 2% of the population and, well, that's not much of a mob even if they bring along their servants.

The Koch brothers and their friends probably would find chanting and rock throwing beneath them anyway. Their tactic is to get other, less million/billionaired types to do their protesting for them. Stunt Protesters if you will or Kochsuckers as I call them because, well, they ARE suckers to be screaming for the rights of people who wouldn't even let them in the back door of their various homes unless it were to fix a sink or tidy up. Their first thought may have been to hire illegal aliens to swarm the White House but, that wouldn't have been fiscally responsible as those illegals are otherwise occupied doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do. By that I mean, everything. It would also be confusing to the media and the rest of Americans to have (mostly) Mexicans protesting taxation of millionaires. I don't think there are too many Mexican millionaires in this country. The police or military wouldn't even have to break up such a gathering. It would only take a few contractors in pick-up trucks needing a few men to break up such a crowd.

So instead they got thousands of the nations chubbiest, poorest spellers to take up their cause in various smaller protests around the nation. And they enlisted a failed governor (Palin) and several good looking blondes (MEGYN!) on FOXNEWS and one funny looking blond(?) Glenn Beck to promote their cause. (FUCKING IRONY ALERT! This is probably tax deductable!) And instead of blood in the streets, we get hundreds of threads on Topix and hours of cable news devoted to this stupid, non-revolution which is nothing more than one party's sour grapes at losing an election. Nothing more.

The average Egyptian in the streets today would laugh at us if he knew what our current revolution were truly about. I wonder if past revolutionaries- especially our own founders- aren't spinning in their graves when they look at those who look at our current situation so gravely? Any person whose ever shed blood at the hands of thugs employed by a dictator would cry at what our *revolutionaries* cry about.

It's embarrassing. I don't know what will become of Egypt and Tunisia but, I hope they never get to the point where THEY are the greatest nation in the world and have to deal with the revolutionaries that can't think straight, like we've got now. It's despicable.

I wish I could say it was "un-American" but, it is decidely American. Very sad.
