Remember Egypt!



Take a long hard look at the image above.

What do you see?

Do you see violence?

Do you see American flags being burned?

Do you see Israeli flags being burned?

Do you see women in black burkas?

here's what you don't see:



You don't see hate.



You don't see radical fundamentalism.

What you see are people that dress like we do, and want the same things we do. What you see are people who are standing up for their beliefs without pointing a gun or strapping on a bomb. What you see are human beings that are just like us.

Look at the women of Tahir Square:



head scarves to be sure but look at them. They wear eye shadow and colorful clothing, earrings and jewelry.


No one knows where this revolution will lead. It may take years before we can look back and say this point is where it all changed for the better or worse. What we do know is the people of Egypt stood up with a raised voice, not a raised gun and demanded change. And they won.

It is important that the rest of us look to their example and remember, that these people, people just like us, had the courage to make that stand and face death in order to gain freedom and liberty.

and remember how the Professiona Right paints these events:

Do not let them push you into their paranoia. Do not let them infect you with their fear and delusion. They do it for ratings and political gains. Do not let those terrorists win.



Be better than this.
