Morsi and Obama alike
Kudos to the people of Egypt who had the courage to oust a dictator like Mohammed Morsi.
It was just a year ago that he promised change to the Egyptian people. He never kept those promises that he made to the people once he got elected. Instead, he orchestrated a one-rule government by putting his own people in to govern, he controlled the media that opposed his rule, divided the country using the power of the Muslim Brotherhood, imposed Sharia law, persecuted Catholics and finally took control and power against the people who just wanted democracy.
If this sounds familiar, it should. All you have to do is change the name Mohammed Morsi to Barack Obama.
It’s time to wake up America. Our promised change is here. How’s that going? It’s time for the people of America to take up a stance against this president, not by violence, but by taking the Senate back from the party that is ruining this country in the 2014 election.
