I’ve been looking for a way to aptly describe all the recent events in Egypt.   Then I saw this recent picture courtesy of Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit.   It appropriately describes what the U.S. media is desperate to avoid:

The average Egyptian is not an Islamist.   To the contrary they are moderates – having lived with ‘westernized freedom principles’ amid the presidency of Hosni Mubarak.   Sure, there were elements the average citizen did not like about Mubarak – and the absence of technological investment in their economy was a source of constant irritation.
However, they did not want to devolve into an Islamist State.   Initially the Muslim Brotherhood promised not to run for election – but they reversed their position and being the only organized political group in Egypt they quickly moved to manipulate the election and the electorate.   The outcome was President Morsi.
It became quickly evident to the Egyptian people that Morsi was a hardline leftist.  A severe Islamist, and the final straw was him taking over the judiciary and dispatching the constitution.
The average Egyptian knows Morsi and Obama are ideological allies.   They also know that  Erdogan is part of the Trio of Manipulation.  This recent sign carried through the streets in Egypt is a perfect illustration of their sentiments.

Yes, to the principles of freedom.   Yes, to the people of American and Turkey.   But a resounding NO, to the manipulative leadership who have corrupted their own citizenry into accepting diminished freedom principles.
This is HOPE.
If they can survive the Islamists.
