The son of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is among 19 Americans being referred to criminal trial for allegedly receiving foreign funds illegally and being involved in banned activity in Egypt, several news agencies reported Sunday.

Gee, where are all the big name Progressives that were praising the Arab Spring a short while ago.

I heard this morning that one of the Americans is the son of U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. Now wouldn’t that be great justice for a Chicago political hack and RINO turncoat.

Not long ago Zero and Klinton were crowing about how they inspired and supported the overthrow of Mubarak.

Now that post-Mubarak Egypt is struggling under the anti-democracy burden imposed by the Muslim Brotherhood the architects of that coup seem to be less inclined to talk about the consequences.

Be careful what you wish for....

The Obama regime will ransom out LaHood’s son and others with US taxpayer dollars and will ignore the consequences of what the US has done to bring the Islamists to power.

[SaraJohnson]

The Muslims will use liberals to get power and position and then chop their “smart” heads off.

Gamboling your son’s life on Obama’s religion of political correctness is abusive. Betting our country’s life on the Liberalism’s elitist, bombastic global ideology is treason. We are going to end up nuked when this mob is finished with us. They will blame us (racism) for getting dead.

"The Obama regime will ransom out LaHood’s son and others..."

America held hostage. Teheran Part Deux. A rescue mission should have been effected "yesterday." I suspect that as before, the Mohammedans are not interested in ransom. They want to humiliate the U.S. for its support of the previous regime. That means show trials are in the offing. Big time. As in 1979, the response from the administration: dithering. Too late for rescue now.

Sam LaHood is head of the Egypt office of the Washington-based International Republican Institute. Two other American NGOs, Freedom House and the National Democratic Institute ...

All federally funded, see "National Endowment for Democracy." The US is exporting two-party democracy as a political system.

November 6, 2005 post in the wake of Russia kicking Americans of exactly the same organizations out of Russia; follow links for lots of information.

“...where are all the big name progressives...”

They’re busy trying to wash themselves clean after having associated themselves with OWS and Arab Spring. Would appear they are discovering that you can’t pick a turd up by the clean end.

First of all, the Arab Spring motivated by democratic ideals is a crock!!!! Reason the Arabs rioted is food prices inflated due to the zero interest policy of the Federal Reserve. Since US dollar is the reserve currency of the world, food must be brought in dollars. Arab countries must convert their currencies into dollars in order to order imported food and then convert it back to local currencies. Since the US dollar keeps losing value due to low interest rates and excessive printing, food prices become inflated once it is imported to Arab markets. When poor Egyptians pay 50 percent of their salaries for food, and the local police hits them for BS fines/demands for bribes, the average Arab who loses everything will lose it. Our financial implosion in 2008 and the subsequent desperate attempts to prevent deflation/depression has caused commodity inflation worldwide. This has impacted food prices and cause social instability in many third world nations. The Arab Spring is just desperate people venting their anger at starvation, corruption and etc and the Muslim Brotherhood is more then happy to step into the power vacuum.

I can't wait until the Muslim Brotherhood and other fellow travelers of the Religion of PeaceTM have show trials and condemn the 44 Americans to death. Then the MB and ROP can broadcast it live on Egyptian TV so Christiane Amanpour can bring the spectacle to American audiences. I wonder what that a**hole SecTrans Ray LaHood will do when Sam, his son, goes on the chopping block? Will he still think the Arab Spring was a good idea?
