Mubarak resigns, hands power to military

Please do not let congoboy get to you..... he is an immature young man with little world experience.....and his reasoning shows youth......I would say a young republican from reading some of his postings, if you look down on this thread you will see I spent some time with him earlier......his intellect is not polished and shows again youth....I think he wants to be a prick but dose have some good qualities when confronted....my suggestion is take him with a grain of salt......mentor him with your knowledge......maybe he can even learn from you....together we might even get him to look left :)

Nancy oh no I would NEVER let someone like him get to me. I do not let those who are misinformed by zealots who have an agenda against a duly elected President fill their heads with very invalid points. Then use stupid insults as misdirection to skirt around the issues as a means to avoid answer to declarations which they cannot defend. NO WAY. Dealing with him and others like him is fun to me because all they are doing is making themselves look more ignorant, but it is such a shame because if this is the future of this great nation then we have a serious problem.

so whats your point? you havent answered my request, just reiterated my statement. and btw, much of the world is a dark place, take off your rose colored glasses

What question? You are the one who came up with the world is a dark place blah blah nonsense and I called you out on it and asked you if those telling you the world is a dark place is living as such. They have you scared with their words and you believe them but have you not noticed they are not living by their own words? They are being paid millions to rile up a group of end of times believers who will and have drank the cool aid and ready and willing to end it while they aren't. These folks don't care about you or what you do as long as they get their money from their corporate masters and live the do as I say not as I do mantra so again keep with your BS and I guess I will keep with mine. So please take time out to look at who these people really are and who are their puppet masters. They don't give but they take, They don't give a damn about human suffering but will be quick to talk about GOD. They believe in the death penalty but will refuse a woman the right to terminate pregnancies no matter the circumstance of how the woman became pregnant but will be the first one to give their daughters that right. So again what is your point and again point out what I have said that is incorrect. I am asking for one example, and since I am wrong that should be very easy for you.

dude, nothing scares me but i agree with you on your take on corporate masters and the media. ALL media outlets have an agenda and so does big business, and generally its not in our best interest. but one doesnt have to look far to find darkness in the world and i dont need media or religion to point it out. take n. korea for example., or iran, or any number of countries controlled by an iron fisted secular or religious figure head. china? certain soviet countries. even the good old u s of a has a dark side. i prefer not to dwell on it as i am generally a pretty positive person. i just make it a point to point these things out to folks that either ignore reality or refuse to recognize it. god does have a place in this world and if mankind would quit misrepresenting him then we might see a better integrated planet someday.

First of all I am NOT A DUDE! That being said read you post again and see just how conflicted you are. DO you live in N. Korea,Iran, and China who you describe as being ruled by an iron fisted secular or religious figure head and do you know how much money the US owes China with the war funding complements of Bush? I am guessing you don't but try this. What gives us the right in the US to dictate to these countries their political affiliation and why is it our business to change their way of government? It is up to the people of these countries to initiate the change because quite frankly this country cannot take on another mission of change for another when we have our own issues to deal with. Look at what is happening in the middle east and to the north. They the people are waking up and doing what they feel necessary but remember a drowning man will clutch onto a straw and Hamas in Palestine is a fine example. What we need to do is brighten our future, stop funding dictatorships and puppet governments who are oppressing their own. Years ago Reagan had the opportunity to force the hand of the Apartheid regime in South Africa and did he/they? No it took other countries and the oppressed to force their hand and even though they still have their issues they are doing much better without our help. So again stop listening to those who are preaching the end times but are living high off the hog because they are being paid to fool those who they themselves are laughing at calling idiots. Those folks don't care about you, me or our families and feel it is their duty to keep us at a certain station in life and that is to be their underlings. If you do believe in GOD then believe there is a plan and us humans having freewill have the opportunity to make the changes we believe will better our lives so stop depending on obvious racist, angry, lying hypocrite, zealots to make you believe this is a dark world. It is wonderful if you allow yourself to see the beauty in it.

wow, you must have gotten me confused with someone else. i dont recall ever stating anything about intervening in another country's business. other than showing or expressing support for those who value freedom and democracy i'm all for butting out. if they ask for our help thats another matter. it is unfortunate that reagan seemingly ignored the apartheid problem but maybe as with all presidents he knew something us commoners didnt. it is also unfortunate that even though an oppressive white minority ran south africa they did a better job than the current regime. south africa used to be the bread basket of the nation with immense agriculture. raising enough produce to not only feed the locals but plenty left over for imports. now all the white farmers have either been murdered or run off land that is now farrow, barren, and unused. more starvation and an even more oppressive government, gangs, mobsters, and war lords are the rule of the day. now im not sayin apartheid was a good thing but it seems things and people were in some ways better off. i dont take the end of times preachers too serious, my belief is god hasent given up on us yet. some idiots think the mayan calendar marks the end if time, i think they ran out of rock myself. my beliefs are my own, i dont pay attention to obvious racist, angry, lying hypocrite, zealots. so sorry about the gender mis-identification, in this day and age its sometimes difficult to tell and besides your avatar is kinda asexual, although in some circles everyone is a dude. we seem to have more in common than not so i think we got lost in the sea of each others rhetoric. peace beautiful!

Don't worry about my avatar. I don't have the time to put anything there so believe what you would like. But on a serious note, it is either your reasoning/ comprehending abilities are insufficient or you are trying to bait me. WHERE in my post did I ever accuse you of saying anything about our country intervening in other countries? I used it as an example of the standard way of doing business by administrations in the past which only gives the lead up to some of the crisis we face today so again if you are truly confused try reading and understanding what is being said or if you cannot step away. I do not have the time or energy to help you understand. As for the South Africa issue. ARE you serious? If the present regime is being undermined then how can anything be done and you claim that same oppressive regime was the "BREAD BASKET" of the nation!!!!! On whose back did they use to be the bread basket? And for them to be run off why not? Years of oppression will make the oppressed angry and want revenge; it is called being human. Your argument reminds me of something Beck said last month about blacks who during slavery did not mind being seen as 3/5 of a human and slaves, because it did good for them and also slavery began on a good note but it was the north that made it something abhorrent. Look it will do you good to do a bit of research for yourself and top relying on those with an agenda to tell you about their version of history past and present. Do not allow them to make you into of their playthings because too many times they are caught not knowing they are still on mic calling their followers idiots and sheep.

thanks, i needed that

You guys are PRO! seriously. This is getting good.

you mean demtothecore and me? no contest! but feel free to enjoy the fireworks.

Yes I had a good laugh at your post. You do really believe the prosperity of those who enslave and deny others of their human rights. as slave labor is just, as long as the oppressors make the bottom line figure? Any means necessary? South Africa has had decades of oppression and only came out of the stupor less than 20 years ago yet you expect those who have pillaged the resources of the country would get a conscience and give back? And name one country whose inhabitants have been persecuted for so many years called the 20th century slavery would jump into prosperity after such a change as what took place in South Africa? You cannot be serious and why should I depend on the opinions of people who you produce as evidence that they deserved to be kept at that station in life, could still suffer from mental slavery, lack of education and the Stockholm syndrome all rolled into one to produce this type of lack of mental strength to think for themselves? Son again stop drinking the cool-aid. You are making as much sense as a circus animal programed to perform by their masters. If that is the way you think then you are indeed in need of serious deprogramed. You are damaged! So please stop because the more you type the more you expose your true feelings and why you have the mindset of those rabid right wingers who feels it their God given right to lead and have those deemed inferior to be led. OH and please don't tell me there has not been outside influence into the political discord of African countries especially those rich in minerals. Ask Margaret Thatcher's son about his actions and being caught trying to supply arms to cause upheavals because OIL was found in that country and the best way to get to the oil was to create havoc. OH while you are at it look into Sudan. And remember to read several articles and try to pick sense from nonsense. Learn something.

my only mission here is to expose the truth and to point out hypocrisy. have a nice day!

NAIROBI, 12 March 2010 (IRIN) - Government troops - the FARDC - in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are to blame for much of the epidemic of sexual violence in the east of the country, according to US and UN reports detailing war crimes and possible crimes against humanity by various groups there.

FARDC is trying to rout the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR) and the Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) from the Kivu region and Oriental province in eastern Congo, but operations have been criticized for their impact on civilians.

“Armed groups such as the LRA and FDLR commit atrocities that amount to grave breaches of international humanitarian law and, in some instances, may also constitute crimes against humanity,” according to the UN experts.

“In North Kivu, an assistance provider for victims of sexual violence recorded 3,106 cases between January and July 2009; half of these cases were perpetrated by FARDC members,” a group of seven UN experts said in their second report on the situation in DRC, submitted to the Security Council on 8 March.

The Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2was the most widely supported Africa-specific U.S. legislation in recent history. It aims to eliminate the threat posed by a rebel group that has devastated central Africa for more than 20 years: killing and maiming civilians, abducting children and forcing them to fight or serve as sex slaves or “wives,” and looting villages. As required by the legislation, President Obama developed a strategy for ending the threat posed by the Lord’s Resistance Army, or LRA, and submitted it to Congress last November.

Your only mission here is to try to force feed others the same lies which you have been exposed to apparently at an early age. Using Wikkapedia and agreeing with the ends to a means where people are enslaved, denied their rights and used to benefit the financial gain of others is not a good place to be son. Frankly I feel sorry for you because it is a shame that in the year of 2011 people still do this type of mental damage to their kids as was obviously done to you. The more you post the more your image of a standard bearer of racism and keeping those who you feel are less than human improvised is showing. You have my pity and get help! The world is changing and the old ways is being rejected all over the world so you will be left behind with your type of thinking process. The old guard of bigotry is dying so do some self help and get your thought process right. I really feel sorry for you.

well you certainly chose the right avatar demtthecore. as a leftylib you have been brainwashed into believing many things that are untrue, such as any opposing view to your own automatically makes one a bigot. your wasted energies spent feeling sorry for me would be more productive aimed at yourself. i was not attempting to justify apartheid, just pointing out that in some ways life was better for alot of folks. whitey minority rule was nowhere as ruthless as the cut throats now in control of much of that country. but really if you go back even further in history, black on black crime has always existed on that continent. even back to the days of slave trading. if it werent for the ultimate in black on black crime there wouldnt have been a commodity for the slave ships to export to europe and the americas. it wasnt the crackers that went in and tore families apart by force to feed the slave trade. it was done by their own unfeeling people. and in the americas there were some 2000 black slave owners, imagine that. history can be quite an awakening experience!

What's wrong with you? Do you read what you have written and the insight they have provided to us on your political and social leanings? YouR writings are showING a very warped mind of someone who has been brain washed into blaming the victims of every evil acts done especially those you basically are calling inferior yet you refuse to read your own drivel and understand what you are defending. Years of oppression will not go away in a blink but before you recognize this you blame those oppressed for actions which are unspeakable but avoidable if the folks who were oppressed were given the right to educate themselves. You speak about me wearing rose colored glasses well yours are blinding pink because you are showing a side which is the very reason for justifications for enslavement and disenfranchisement of those who you obvious feel cannot take care of themselves hence you many comments and views on the ills of nations which are being destabilized by out side forces. This is is the same justifications used by the Europeans and even Germans to enslave others and again you are too warped to even understand. Boy please go back to your ilk and talk the nonsense you are used to talking amongst yourselves. You are not gaining traction here but is being laughed at and pitied at the same time. DAMN YOU HAVE ISSUES!

if you believe sharing truth and history is somehow wrong then you are the one with issues. i was neither advocating nor endorsing the practices i mentioned only pointing out that whitey aint the only evil in the world.

What truth do you speak of? The ones you get from Wikkipedia and the zealots who provide sheep like you their interpretation of history? I asked you day ago to provide ONE fact to prove I am lying / wrong on any of my posts and you have yet to provide it. You have skirted around an answer by bringing up unfounded examples which you feel vindicate those who have enslaved others and denied their rights with the end justify the means connotation then you come with "I am not in agreement with it but," nonsense You write about the turmoil after the abolishment of Apartheid knowing darn well how the blacks were treated for decades and the rape of the country by those who were forced out of power or do you think they had a change of heart and conscience and left the loot behind for the betterment of the people, yet you say you were against it. You write about rape and incest acting like incidents like that only happens in Africa when it is a very harsh problem right here at home or have you conveniently forgotten?How does that work and who are you trying to fool? Look kid it is better for you to find another forum to force feed other sheep and regale in your stories of things you don't know a darn thing about.

of course south africa isnt the only place rape and incest takes place. theyre just the rape incest capital of the world... i am sorry your limited education allows you to refuse reality, facts, and the history of the world. it is typical of the leftylib mentality to deny and or rewrite history either when on the losing end of an argument or when it doesnt fit in their narrow view of political correctness. you guys really need to be more open minded. theres alot of ugly history out there and not all of it was due to the cracker, for instance...By 1860, the Cherokees had 4,600 slaves; the Choctaws, 2,344; the Creeks, 1,532; the Chickasaws, 975; and the Seminoles, 500. Some Indian slave owners were as harsh and cruel as any white slave master. Indians were often hired to catch runaway slaves; in fact, slave-catching was a lucrative way of life for some Indians, especially the Chickasaws.

Black slavery in America usually evokes images of the antebellum South, but few realize that members of the Five Civilized Tribes--the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles--in Indian Territory, today's Oklahoma, also had slaves. Like their counterparts in the South, Indian slaveholders feared slave revolts. Those fears came true in 1842 when slaves in the Cherokee Nation made a daring dash for freedom. welcome to reality beautiful! btw what lies did i ever accuse you of? ive been so busy in my attempts to teach you a little history i forgot.

enemies?! who in the world labeled Tunisia as Egypt's enemy? Dude, the worst thing that ever happened between Tunisia and Egypt was some clashes after a stupid soccer gamed...

. . . .if the rain cooperates ! +^d

Hell yes! Don't really need an excuse to do so. If it's warm outside and raining lets just get naked and go play. The perfect way to end a day...except it's 14º outside right now.

Bummerrrrrrrrrrr...................*¿*

" +^d " this

Heh ! There goes the gutless wonder again ! HUZZAH !

p.s. How bout you grow a pair,....come out of the closet, and take some responsibility for your actions ? Just a thought.

Did we get up on the wrong side of the bed today? Enjoy the moment, relax and drop that high blood pressure..........

I am so happy for the people of Egypt. It took a lot of organizing to do this.
Hope they can proceed with the new governing as well.
Too bad KO is not broadcasting this historic event

GOOD JOB EGYPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you for your comment

Thank you for the info but I decided to reply this way because most folks do not scroll down to read replies and I wanted to make darn sure that girl was exposed to others for her ignorance and lack of any drive to correct her problem.

we must pray a more suppressive regime doesnt surface and sweep away the dreams of the egyptian people. this is far from over.

Words fail to express the beauty of what has happened in Egypt. It shows the power of the will of the people and what can be done when peaceful determination takes control of those being denied the basics in life. This could have gone so differently and it is by no means over, but if it continues in the same spirit, it could be a very good thing for the entire world. When I think about the history of the Egyptian people and all their amazing culture and civilization have contributed to our world, it becomes even more relevant. Today, we are all Egyptians!

I have faith in the Egyptian people. It's their leadership that's a bit iffy. I hope the rest of the world really considers what the Egyptian people want and keep their selfish, self-interested noses out of Egypt's business. But, I think the Egyptians deserve their moment and what comes after is up to them.

we can only hope and pray its up to them. evil may be lurking in the shadows. whoever controls the military controls the people

you talkin smack about obama?

and what freedoms have been taken away from you?

Delusional is synonymous with GOP

i thought so. it is an import many of us americans enjoy as well. so is cynicism.

so, 'Power turned over to the military" isn't as scary to me as the phrase "the military has taken power." Small change in wording, huge change in attitude and hopefully, results.

They don't need a new master! Give them individual rights and stop enslaving peaceful people! You don't need to use government violence on peaceful people.

Nice rebuttal to my facts...

lol

so whats your answer then? you make accusations without offering up a better alternative.

you didnt offer facts you offered one mans opinion. thats all fine and good, we all have one. but dont propose your opinion as facts

I brought the cheeze whiz to go with the tro// whine.

I don't know. I always thought the Egyptian people were nothing if not astute business people. I would bet that there are tours that had been scheduled a year ago that will go on if they can convince the rest of the world (quickly) that this will continue to be a peaceful revolution. And I really think if it was going to go down the violent road it would have escalated last week and still be on that road. I think the tourists will be back sooner than you might think. There are a lot of people who really want to inhale the history of Egypt..

i believe the house and senate while bush was in office all read the same intel. he didnt go in there alone, he had the vote of the house and senate. most of whom were democrats. you may also recall that obama pledged to make afghanistan his personal quagmire during his election campaign and during the debates. only a fool would take on afghanistan as their personal mission. if the russians couldnt tame them certainly the american military, forced to fight with one hand unfairly tied behind their backs isnt going to be able to. obama should have pulled the troops out of afghanistan the day he took office.

not to mention the health care debacle

"then we will talk about impeachment"...

Or prosecution!

Obama is not the liar....

thanks for the down votes fairies, i see you to cant handle the truth!

naw, the russians have never been cowards. some of the toughest fighting men on the planet. now the french are another story, pussies throughout history. for an implant you sure seem to know your american history. we used to require some of that knowledge for new emigrants but we've lowered the bar. now almost any low life can become an american citizen, congratulations!

Much love to you, brother man!!!

My, you are a bitter little person, aren't you? How sad.

Yes indeed!!

Good lord, Funky, you are awesome.

a little cynical at times but far from bitter or little. i am one of the happiest people i know, right after my woman.

my previous comment was removed as it was considered an attack by current standards. let me rephrase. obama had nothing to do with the people of egypts recent win. your misspoken, unwavering glorifying support of your fearless leader makes me want to throw up

so I guess your point is not all Muslims are tarriest, human bombs, killers, maybe you could let Fox news know that...........

we are at war keeping the peace

i agree with your analysis of the egyptian people but youre way off on the rest of your analogy. most of the worlds conflicts are caused by muslims who cant get along with their neighbors.

Fox knows nothing but FEAR.
Fear is the first thing that came up on Fox about Egypt.
Too bad the Bush Administration's friend is gone.
Go EGYPT!!!!
