So sad. The Arab Spring has withered on the vine.

There was so much hope.

Now, with what's happened in Egypt; Morsi's grotesque power grab and the further erosion of women's rights there, it looks like the people have lost yet again.

It's the Muslim Brotherhood, you stupid scrunt.  What did you expect?

1. Some of us saw this coming a mile away

And took a ton of heat for saying so at the time.

Just saying.

3. And you'll probably take more heat .....

5. I don't know your posting history.

What exactly did you see coming a mile away?

8. A more repressive government than the one being ousted

I take no glee in this. Many posters here were concerned about the amount of involvement that the Muslim Brotherhood had at the time...which didn't bode well for either democracy or women's rights.

And now we're seeing the results.

2. Revolutions often fail to improve things

Its more likely you'll just out another group of assholes in charge.

Lasting change won't occur in one season.

Yet DUmmies love them some revolutions.

And they never learn from history!  Of course, brown people can do no wrong. 

Remember when Lara Logan was sexually assaulted?  Remember when Beth Ferrari said "just 1 story, and uncorroborated."
