You are simply forcing money into the markets. That's not free market capitalism, that public funded corporatism. It's too bad conservatives don't understand basic capitalist principles.<br /><br />Ted Nugent is a lowbrow, pandering, stupid, moron. I remember catching his radio show in Detroit back in the mid-90's. Adolescent tripe. If you are over like ten years old, and find Ted Nugent smart or funny, you have a developemental problem. ;)<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-7343220275423445682011-01-15T09:11:03.886-07:002011-01-15T09:11:03.886-07:00Unfortunately, there are not enough stories like t...Unfortunately, there are not enough stories like this in that are of the world.

As Egyptian Copts attended mass at churches across the country, “thousands” of Muslims, including “the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak,” joined them, acting as “human shields” to protect from terrorist attacks by extremists. The Muslims organized under the slogan “We either live together, or we die together,” inspired by Mohamed El-Sawy, an Egyptian artist:<br />Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside. From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.<br /><br />“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with first floating the “human shield” idea. Among those shields were movie stars Adel Imam and Yousra, popular preacher Amr Khaled, the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak, and thousands of citizens who have said they consider the attack one on Egypt as a whole. “This is not about us and them,” said Dalia Mustafa, a student who attended mass at Virgin Mary Church on Maraashly. “We are one. This was an attack on Egypt as a whole, and I am standing with the Copts because the only way things will change in this country is if we come together.”</b><br /><br />We Americans could learn from this show of unity.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
