The Brotherhood and the Free Officers government of Mubarak don't like each other very much because the Brotherhood believes in a government where law and the words in the Koran should be one and the same while The Free Officers government is a more secular opportunistic government who has no problem allowing Western ways to be integrated into Islam. For a true democracy to take place in Egypt, after Mubarak is gone, the Parliment of Egypt needs to be dissolved and new elections held otherwise, the military will continue to have too much say in Egyptian government and the fundamental architecture of government created by the Free Officers will continue to exist and the Egyptian people's lives lost in this revolution will be for not.

The great number of Egyptians who have been affected by the economic conditions of their country are receiving assistance from the Brotherhood. Sometimes more assistance then from the Mubarak government. In 2005 the Brotherhood earned 20% of the popular vote in Egypt for local and national elections. The Mubarak government pull the same anti-democratic action that Mexico pulled during their last "democratic" elections for different posts around the country. The Mubarak government not only "lost" and outright destroy ballots like it occurred in Mexico, but, arrested candidates from the Brotherhood that were legal candidates to posts in government Mon, 7 Feb 2011 18:21:57 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.53c07fe961abc34cc2f173062bc55b35.971&show_article=1#IDComment126513271 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.53c07fe961abc34cc2f173062bc55b35.971&show_article=1#IDComment126513075 The Brotherhood apolitical group earned the right to be treated as equals to the Free Officers government of Mubarak. They are the largest and better organized of all the groups responsible for this revolution which has its roots in high food prices and unemployment equivalent to U.S. Great Depression numbers. Some experts have missed the truth about what is going on in Egypt by stating that there are many small fragmented groups responsible for the revolution, but, in fact, in my opinion, the Brotherhood is the force behind this revolution.

The Communication Age has been a two edge sword: On one side it has allowed people access to information that a few years ago was inaccessible for many reasons, but, it also has made possible for our lives to be more transparent to our employers and government with dire implications. The 1986 Act to protect the privacy of electronic communication is full of loop holes for a savy government or lawyer. This act needs to be strengthen so that American citizens be protected from abuse by government, business or another citizen Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:00:36 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.35fe9afbf5c0253f885080ba82e9784c.781&show_article=1#IDComment117004289 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99I9EAO1#IDComment27881847 No... I don't support the "shadow government"....but, I do support the creation of universal healthcare because we as Americans have a right to health....

However, in our country of 300,000,000 people for people to have human security it is indispensible to turn the idea of right into something tangible. Hence the right to health. Our country has abandon this right. At least 50,000,000 Americans have no way of paying for the healthcare they need. They don't even have adequate healthcare (forget about superlative care). The property bills that you pay are not the issue. The problem with affordability has been created by the free market economy which by design creates classes. Healthcare should not be viewed as another service or commodity that is placed on the market for profit. Ask the 50,000,000 americans that can't afford to pay for it. The healthcare of ANY american should not depend on charity!. As far as providers, all we have to do to fill the gap is to allow more imigrant doctors to setup shop here. Licensing requirements are unrealistic and protectionist of this priviledge class of workers in America.... supply and demand will take care of our cost then....

Roosevelt Second Bill of Rights for Americans made "freedom from want" one of the four essential liberties for human security. Roosevelt's definition of freedom included the "right to adequate medical care and enjoy good health". The right to health was enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, drafted with American guidance and has since being recognized in numerous international and regional human rights treaties....so... "True rights come from the Creator mentioned in the Founding Documents" is true.... but, the right to health also has being integrated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for quite some time....(since 1943). Taxes are not confiscation of wealth. Taxes help move money to constructive activities that help most Americans. Healthcare being one of those activities. Universal Healthcare does not prevent most Americans from choice. It only makes it more accessible.... because of the large number of participants, it actually reduces cost (economies of scale)....no tricks...no lies.....if more Americans take the time to find out the truth about the state of Healthcare in America and what universal healthcare means for most Americans, more people would be demanding it ...

Have you read the Right to Health in the United States of America....we have abandon it Mon, 20 Jul 2009 21:04:31 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99I9EAO1#IDComment27801420 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99I9EAO1#IDComment27798063 ....one of the biggest handicap to social progress for us Americans is to accept that our "way of life" may not be the best way to live....

Our healthcare system is in violation of this human right, because it cannot deliver equal care for all its citizen in its present form. The majority of countries in the World signed on to the fact that healthcare is a human right. Many of them are working towards making it possible to comply with this human right, including the United States. Hence, Obama championing universal healthcare reform.

Healthcare was made into a human right by the World. There is actually a law written which actually states that everyone has the equal right to healthcare. Our healthcare industry does not comply with this human right by virtue of the different classes of care that it has: people with too much healthcare, people with not enough healthcare and people with no healthcare...

This is what I found out when I read the House of Representative proposed Health Reform Bill. The private sector could use competition for their insurance products they offer people in the above mentioned income bracket. What the insurance industry is afraid of is the loss of customers to the state. The National Press Club is obviously in the pocket of the affluent Americans. Socialism is not a dirty word or does it represents anarchy or a loss of human rights. Most of the other developed countries in the World recognize that the only way to ensure people enjoy the right to health care equally is through a universal or socialized plan. My own cousin, who lives in Europe, owes his life to socialized medicine. He received complete cancer care at absolutely no cost to him. If he had been living in the U.S., in all likelyhood he would not have survived because he would not have been able to afford the needed care. The European countries as well as Canada have not gone broke in all the time they have offered their citizen socialized medicine. These countries GNP is much smaller than ours so all these fuzz about not being able to afford socialized medicine is nothing more than a smoke screen by the affluent Americans, particularly in the insurance industry who are simply driven by greed and their own drive to live in excess at the expense of less fortunate americans.
