Well, we did deal with the commies for many decades, still do if you consider China to be still communist. And they were in theory as absolutely dedicated to our destruction as the MB. Given Soviet military power, they were a good deal more dangerous.

It’s all a part of Obama’s great plan.

The destruction of America and the Islamisation of the world.

A teeny bit surprised by Hillary’s support of it , but she has proven she isn’t as bright as some people thought either.

Dealing with the Muslim Brotherhood is like a surrender to Islam. In Obama’s case it isn’t surrender , it’s a dream come true.

Clinton and Ashton thus join the long line of Western officials who have confused democracy with the practice of voting itself

Democracy IS the practice of voting.

What the author means is the development of a civil society. It is possible to have a civil society without voting, and it is certainly possible to have free elections without a civil society.

The CS is what is important. Elections are very much secondary.
