When he left, did he say, “I’ll be Mubarak”? ---

If he did, we’d all be calling him the King of De Nile. ---

That’s just a stupid thing to say and tells me you’re an idiot. And finally, no, a jackbooted tyrant does not of necessity lack a belief system. Hitler had his religious beliefs and his cultural beliefs. So did Mussolini, Pol Pot, the Ayatollah, etc. In fact, most tyrants must have some fanatical belief system to empower them. > > As for sugar coating things, what are you crazy?

So your next post to me better have some serious substance to it. Reality is not truth.

You are divided in your views, dumbass. Read the headline on the front page of today’s \*New York Times \*and then read the headline on the front page of tomorrow’s _New York Times_. You are the idiot, dumbass. You are on the wrong side of history. You’ve shown to me that you are ignorant in political science and philosophy. Where’s your Mubarak now? Are you getting your wish? Is, ahem, the state of things as they actually are the same as you wrote, Champion-of-Truth? No. No. No, uh, you don’t know about the state of things as they actually are, you don’t know about, reality, or truth, so maybe you’re the one who needs a dictionary for common words. Is that what you called it, common words? Common?! How about I give you can encyclopaedia? Do you know what \*status quo \*means? And don’t just give me Latin etymology. Give me an example of _status quo_ using something current, relevant. Do you have any comprehension of game theory? Because I do. I received an A- on my college thesis on game theory, you dumbass piece of shit. So before you dare call me an idiot, you think twice, if you can, about who you’re dealing with! I met a senior military US government official and the question I asked him made him stutter when answering the question, _and then I **destroyed** his college thesis with my response to it in a **national publication** _. Do you understand me? Because I think you have no idea who you’re dealing with. My question to you, Champion-of-Truth (take your time to answer, please): What will be the headline on the front page of tomorrow’s \*New York Times \*and what is the headline on the front page of tomorrow’s _New York Times_?

Give me a minute to pause while I struggle to take in all that awesomeness exuding from you like garlic breath and just marvel at your prowess in cowing mythical government officials.

I don’t care what the headline is, I don’t read that paper. What does the headline have to do with anything I’ve written? What color is the sun in your solar system? What is the name of the bizarro, alternate reality you come from? Can we find it with a telescope, or does it only exist in your mind, much like your vaunted destruction of a (gasp!)

Just think how Mubarak must feel right now, not only to be chased out of power after wielding it absolutely every day for more than 30 years, but to see practically his whole people cheering his departure, and practically the whole world cheering **them.** How must it feel, to end your life that way. 😃 ---

It’s a shame how out Usurper In Chief turned on one of our closest allies to boost his Muslim brothers. Now we’re looking at the eventuality of an Islamic state similar to what happened in Iran in '79 only not as suddenly. The world has just become far worse. I wish Mubarak had rolled out the tanks! :mad: ---

Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore is a usurper and not eligible to hold the office of president. ---

> [@Champion-of-Truth](#): > > Obama is not a natural born citizen and therefore is a usurper and not eligible to hold the office of president. None of that is true. You believe it because you’re too stupid to understand when you’re being lied to. Obama was born in Hawaii. He has a Hawaiian birth certificate, the same kind they give everyone in Hawaii. The trouble is you’ve decided to believe angry, shitty people who specialize in misleading people without the ability to think very hard. ---
