Ahhhhh...smell that Arab Spring!

CAIRO — An Egyptian court on Monday issued an injunction dissolving the Muslim Brotherhood and confiscating its assets, escalating a broad crackdown on the group less than three months since the military ousted its ally, President Mohamed Morsi.

Since Mr. Morsi’s ouster, the new government appointed by Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi has killed more than 1,000 Brotherhood members in mass shootings at protests against the takeover and arrested thousands more, including almost all of the group’s leaders. Security services have closed offices of the group and its political party in cities around the country. Members are now sometimes afraid to speak publicly by name for fear of reprisals.

I didn't expect that.

Thank Reagan and his Conk offspring for this.

Obama must be very sad today.

Yep, our insatiable lust for petroleum and its resultant problems make me sad, too.

But I thought democracy was on the march all across the middle east because of Obama's message of hope and change and diplomacy with Syria?

It is, you whiny bitch. Ain't gonna happen overnight or any faster than it took CheneyBush to kill 60,000+ Iraqi civilians in his quest to secure cheap oil for spoiled Americans. As enlightened Progressives have been saying here for ages, it's gonna take a looooooong to clean up BushReaganConk shit piles.

Maybe Obama is sad enough to loosen up the permit process for drilling for more petroleum in the US, is sad enough to approve the XL pipeline, will start issuing more leases for drilling on federal land and stop opposing drilling in the waste land that is ANWR and we can leave the middle east behind...

Sorry, the fumes got to me there for a moment.

If you were a true Liberal, you'd lose some weight.

Imagine the gas savings, from your internal engine as well as your car's. Heck, you'd reduce your methane output, help nullify global warming, and reduce our dependency on oil.

No more beer for you, you Conk F*ck.

Meanwhile, in reality, the US continues to march along towards energy independence, while steadily decreasing overall energy usage from our peak...thanks to progressive initiatives. Sorry that TransCanada stock isn't working out at the moment.

Love them CONKS!!!

Fracking is a progressive initiative?
