California Governor Jerry Brown is continuing to push for more taxes, something that would most likely become nothing more than a burden for just about everyone in the State.
The Los Angeles Times reported on Friday that Governor Brown is insisting on pushing for a $25 billion cut in State services, if voters do not approve more taxes. Of course there is already more bickering up in Sacramento, as Democrats act like a bunch of rubber stamps anyway and a majority of Republicans signed a tax pledge last year vowing to vote against any tax hike period. However there are some Republican State Senators that Governor Brown says he can win over.
I guess some Republicans are able to show their true colors as a bunch of back stabbing worms.
But perhaps Governor Brown should take a lesson from Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Last week, the Wisconsin Assembly approved a bill to take away union rights. You know, the same unions that receive largely inflated pension funds and huge pay checks? And the same unions that are part of the problem as to why States across the nation continue to suffer financially because the tax payers are on the hook to pay for all of their crap?
It was amazing to finally see politicians do something which usually only receives talk and no walk.
Only if Governor Brown would take note of Wisconsin's unprecedented steps at real union reform, but the problem with Governor Brown is that he protects State unions, not to mention illegal aliens. The two huge factors that play a part in California's escalating financial crisis and yet he refuses to even acknowledge this. To him, it is all about raising taxes on Californians. No other alternative exists.
I wonder if Governor Brown has any conscious at all to the families in California? Thanks to the protests in the Middle East, gasoline prices have begun to skyrocket and if it continues, people will have to start spending less and California already suffers from 12% unemployment. I'd really like to know why Governor Brown thinks it is so necessary to add more fuel to the fire, instead of looking at alternative solutions to solve the problems that have cost this State an arm and a leg for decades now.
Take a lesson from Wisconsin, Governor Brown. At least they're actually doing something.

Obama ignorance is shocking
As the United States and the rest of the world apparently continues to poor gasoline all over the place and set themselves on fire, President Obama has decided to celebrate by bringing Motown to the White House as a tribute to Black History Month. Simply unbelievable.
I honestly think Obama's ignorance and his contradictions are just about as worse as the Bush Administration, hence Obama's nickname "President Extension of George W. Bush".
Shortly after the upheaval began in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, all President Obama did for an entire week and a half is demand that President Mubarak must resign, never mind the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood was helping provoke the unrest in the first place, and never mind the fact that Egypt helped keep the peace with Israel, something that the Muslim Brotherhood has wanted to destroy for quite some time.
Yet on Wednesday during his press conference, President Obama addressed the unrest in Libya for the first time in almost nine days since it began. In his speech, he refused to even ask for Gaddafi to resign, let alone even mention his name. He also seemed to completely ignore the fact that the spiritual cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, called for the assassination of Gaddafi and acknowledged that it will be the primary focus of the Muslim Brotherhood to continue to destabilize the Middle East and whip out Israel.
Why is President Obama reluctant to acknowledge the Muslim Brotherhood's plans and why is he forgetting all about Gaddafi, when Gaddafi himself also has deep resentment against Israel and is an even worse dictator than Mubarak was?
In addition to completely ignoring the facts in the Middle East, President Obama is all about standing with the unions today, after the Wisconsin Assembly passed a bill that would break union rights, to help pass Wisconsin's budget. If anything, that should be a plus. It is about time that someone in the political spectrum finally woke up and realized that unions are one of the primary reasons why States all across America are in critical financial condition. Maybe if he actually understood facts, the President would call for union reform.
This President has not even made an effort to keep any of his so called campaign promises on "hope and change", its all about the status quo as far as he is concerned; continuously catering to the special interest groups and the far left socialist agenda.
Obviously we are living in a country that is no longer represented in a Democratic Republic and we probably don't even know what we stand for anymore in this country. When you have a President like this that is completely out of touch with reality, you have to question the motive.
Perhaps he really is just ignorant. Or perhaps, he, like the rest of the Arab World, doesn't like Israel either.

Ahmadinejad: Unrest will spread to Europe and America
Well the head of the circus in the Middle East came out yesterday and said that the "wave of unrest that is happening in the Middle East is certain to spread to Europe and America."
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the comments at the height of the protests in the entire region and has drawn criticism that his comments are derived from the belief that Shiite Muslims believe a ninth century hidden Imam will reappear.
Maybe 2012 really is the year the world will end, or maybe this really is the second coming of Christ, or some kind of rapture?
This is the same Ahmadinejad that spoke in front the United Nations assembly insisting that America was responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks and also that Iran is resisting a New World Order. Yet, in his comments, he is calling for a new system of world governance.
I guess he really has lost it.
Regardless, Ahmadinejad comments are unfortunately, somewhat correct. The protests that have been happening in the Middle East, are having impacts both in Europe and here in America. In Greece, Russia Today reported that over 60,000 people violently took to the streets attacking police officers. In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker is having a hell of a time balancing the budget and meeting the demands of greedy union workers, so much so that State Troopers are actually being dispatched to find missing State Representatives to return back to the capitol and put in their vote on balancing Wisconsin's budget.
To make matters worse, as the protests continue throughout the Middle East, it will unfortunately have dire consequences on the U.S. economy. Gas prices are starting to rise and when the cost of gas skyrockets, people seem to spend less, which means consumer products will most likely also start to rise, but the consumer demand for these products will start to decline, as they become too expensive for people to afford to purchase them.
There really is no way out of this mess we're in. Congress and State Legislatures will cut costs and raise taxes regardless, it will make no difference; the Muslim Brotherhood can continue to influence protesters and remove their sinister governments so they can establish a new order of government and remove Israel and finally, the United States, will probably, most likely, not be the United States anymore sometime down the road.
We only have the greedy self-serving international businessmen to thank for destroying our economic system

Misconceptions of the Middle East
Since the beginning of the upheaval in the Middle East, most of the world following the catastrophe has been manipulated by the news media into believing this is all about human rights and higher pay. Some of this is true. There is no question that dictators like Qaddafi, Mubarak, Ben Ali, among others, have ruled over their people with an iron fist.
However the situation is much more than that and there has been too many misconceptions about what is really going on in the Middle East. Isn't it interesting that you have a dictator like Qaddafi in Libya that is vowing to start a civil war against protesters, not to mention his country harbors a deep resentment against Israel, as it is with all the other Middle Eastern nations. Yet, the clerical leader of the Muslim Brotherhood Yusuf al-Qaradawi has called for Qaddafi's assassination. Qaradawi also wants Israel gone. He spoke in front of thousands of protesters calling for the eliminating of Jews and that they will be punished, much like how Hitler carried this act out in Nazi Germany.
So why would two people who hate Israel, want to kill one another?
Do you see what is happening here? You have dictators that run countries and now they face an even larger threat. If you can get rid of all of these governments, and if the Muslim Brotherhood can infiltrate and persuade their followers to establish a 'new Middle East', the world is going to have one huge problem, not to mention, the economic conditions, will be critical.
This appears to be the common misconception. Here in America, all you hear is this talk of "down with the dictators, let the Arab people have peace!" Yet, people don't realize the evil behind the evil.
Now, in addition to Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria and Libya; Yemen, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan have all began to experience major protests. The one country that is apparently surrounded by this fire is Saudi Arabia. If this country begins to feel the pressure, think of what kind of impact this is going to have on gas prices right here in the United States.
We're in for some tough seas.

Libyan unrest; Gaddafi wants civil war?
First it was Tunisia, then Egypt, followed by Algeria, Jordan, Yemen, Bahrain, Morocco and now Libya has finally been added to the growing list of nations throughout the Middle East and North Africa demanding removal of governments by its people.
Initially, Libya seemed to be able to block earlier protests last month, promising to provide housing to its people after minor protests began following the unrest in Tunisia. Seems like the Libyans want a little bit more than just free housing, or maybe the Muslim Brotherhood just wants all dictators removed so they can destroy Israel and take back "their" land and establish Shariah Law.
Well, Libya's people started protesting last week demanding change in government. However, Libya's Supreme Leader, Muammar Gaddafi who has been in control since 1969, is refusing to leave. It is basically the same situation as it was in Tunisia and Egypt. The difference is that Tunisian President Ben Ali dissolved the government and fled the country and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak tried to hold on to power attempting to keep the Muslim Brotherhood influence out of his country. So in Tunisia, you have a cowardly dictator who runs away and in Egypt, you have an equally vicious dictator but helped keep the peace with Israel and cooperated with the United States against many terrorist groups.
However in Libya, Gaddafi has ruled with an iron fist and the country has never been friendly, if ever, to the United States. Now Gaddafi, dressed in his trademark turban, robe and sun glasses that makes him look like a total idiotic version of a "hippie Hitler" is encouraging a Civil War in his country among the protesters and his supporters. In the week since the upheaval began, thousands of people have been injured, and over a thousand killed.
Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood has called for an assassination of Gaddafi just yesterday. Fine. But isn't it interesting that Gaddafi and the Muslim Brotherhood hate Israel with a dire passion, yet the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't seem to be bothered at all about someone putting a bullet in Gaddafi? True, a dictator like Gaddafi should probably be killed. The answer to this is because the Muslim Brotherhood wants all governments in the Middle East removed, so they can have complete and total control of the region and see it spread like wild fires.
This is the confusion in the mainstream news media. You see people that are protesting against a corrupt government, but they are not looking "behind the scenes" of the real threat.

Egypt President Mubarak resigns
Egypt announced the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak today, after thirty years of power and two weeks of violence upheaval from its people. Well, it seems the opposite was apparent. The military finally put the pressure on him, following even more angry protests that occurred yesterday, after Mubarak announced he would hand over some powers to his Vice President Omar Suleiman, but that he would not resign.
His resignation comes after thirty years of dictatorial control on his people. Yet on the same end, Mubarak has been a very powerful ally to the United States to protecting Israel from radical terrorist groups.
While the Egyptian people began to celebrate immediately upon handing power over to the military, to some, this would give confidence that they will prevent hostile intervention from the Muslim Brotherhood.
But there is still cause for concern. The Muslim Brotherhood could end up getting a majority support from the people of Egypt and this would be catastrophic for the Middle East, as many of the protesters that wanted Mubarak to step aside, seem to be the ones supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.
The resignation of President Mubarak will most likely send shock waves throughout the Middle East. With the case of the protests in Tunisia that ultimately forced the removal of its President Ben Ali, it spread like wild fire to Egypt. Now with Egypt out of the way, many other countries might also see more larger upheavals. Libya, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Iran.
If it spreads and the Muslim Brotherhood does end up getting support in these countries and carrying out its determination against Israel, the Middle East, well, might not be the Middle East anymore.

Arizona countersues Federal Government over immigration bill
The State of Arizona has decided to sue the United States Government for failing to secure the State's border with Mexico and failing to enforce the laws that are already Federal Statutes.
This day has been coming for quite some time, as the Obama Administration, much like the Bush Administration, continuously embarrassed themselves by filing a law-suit against Arizona after the State passed SB1070 which would allow for more protective measures to secure the border with Mexico, deport illegal aliens and allow police officers to profile those that are not suppose to be in the country without proper paperwork.
Governor Jan Brewer decided to move forward on filing a counter suit against the United States Government, because "the federal government failed to protect the citizens of Arizona." And she has a good point.
While the Obama Administration continued to waste the taxpayers time and money for allowing a ridiculous law-suit to be filed in the first place since everyone in Washington D.C. has been lazy on enforcing immigration policy for many years, Arizona has been riddled with skyrocketing costs for the incarceration of criminals from Mexico, crime and Phoenix becoming the second 'kidnapping capital of the world'.
Despite the fact that a U.S. District Judge barred a specific requirement concerning police officers asking illegal aliens their immigration status, Governor Brewer remains optimistic and is determined to see Arizona win at the end of the day.
Isn't it just hypocritical of the Obama Administration to make outrageous remarks that the Arizona Law is Unconstitutional because illegal aliens don't have the documentation they're required to have, yet the Health Care Law he passed last year, requires everyone to have documentation on their insurance status?
The contradictions of this Administration is breath taking, and perhaps President Obama should shut up and get with the program and finally do something meaningful, as well as humane when it comes to the issue of illegal immigration. For one, you can start by getting rid of every single dirt bag drug dealer and gang-banger in the country and deport them back to their home country. Secondly, those that are living in this country and are contributing to our economy, allow them a rational and effective path to citizenship. Third, leave Arizona alone and realize that U.S. Congress, as well as yourself and former President Bush have failed to enforce immigration laws that are already on the Federal Government's books; and finally, address the ever-growing drug violence in Mexico and begin a strategic alliance with President Calderon on how to defeat the drug trafficking throughout our Southern neighbors... before it ultimately spills over into our territory.
For reasons like this, is exactly why Arizona passed this law in the first place.

NY Congressman Lee resigns
Just when you thought you had heard it all from our Washington sleazebags, Chris Lee, a Republican Congressman from New York resigned today in disgrace after showing off shirtless photos of himself and posting them on Craigslist as a way to attract other women.
Maybe this would not be a problem for someone who is not a public official, not to mention unmarried, but that is not the case for now-former Congressman Lee. He is married and has a son, and had been serving as a Congressman since 2009.
This simply shows not only an abuse of power, but a complete waste of the taxpayers time, to have this man representing the constituents of the 26th congressional district of New York, when the only real reason he was there in the first is obviously to make it all about Congressman Lee.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've had to deal with elected government morons getting caught up in scandals. Should we really go down the list: Governors Rod Blagojevich, Mark Sanford and Elliot Spitzer, Senator John Ensign and Congressman Eric Massa, are prime examples.
I guess we can go ahead and add another freeloader like Congressman Lee to this growing list, obviously demonstrating that some of these people have absolutely no intention on solving this country's major problems nor any respect or consideration of the people that elect them to the offices they serve.

Governor Jerry Brown's election a good idea?
California Governor Jerry Brown continues with his wrath of bringing nothing new to California, and wants everyone in the State to vote in a special election to approve his budget deficit plan. Sounds like a coy. Governor Brown also is apparently semi-delusional on this issue since Governor Schwarzenegger asked for basically the same special election last year, which was overwhelming defeated by the people of California.
Yet when you consider that all of the politicians in Sacramento were elected to solve these problems, none of them will admit that they are all part of the problem as to why this State continues to suffer financially.
Since the politicians in Sacramento have no interest in solving real problems, lets give Governor Jerry Brown the benefit of the doubt on his budget deficit plan he wants Californians to vote on later this year.
In this special election, lets throw in the following as a rational solution to solve the $25 billion deficit:
- Vote for a part-time State Legislature that congresses every other year and reduces perks for all of them.
- Vote for an amendment to the California Constitution, which specifies that deficits will not be allowed.
- Eliminate the State Employment by 30%.
- No raises to State employee salaries and benefits, until the budget deficit is reduced to workable levels.
- Eliminate public employee unions.
- Eliminate worthless Governor appointed State boards and commissions that collect hundreds of thousands of dollars, for doing absolutely nothing.
- Eliminate programs that provide benefits to illegal aliens;
- And finally, lets sell or auction off all of that unused property which is owned by the State and is just accumulating depreciation.
What do you think Governor Brown? If this is all on the ballot, we may very well eliminate California's budget deficit entirely!

U.S. releases Britian's nuclear plans to Russia
In the height of all of the major news networks sidetracking themselves with the coverage of the chaos in Egypt and throughout the Middle East, virtually no body in the media, with the exception of Michael Savage, commented on the fact that this President has sold the United States out.
That's right. WikiLeaks released cables on Friday which specifically addressed President Obama handing over Britain's nuclear plans to Russia as part of signing the New START Treaty.
The act is beyond treasonous. One has to ask themselves exactly what is the motive behind our President and Federal Government stabbing Britain in the back? The only possible answer to this question has to be that this President simply is creating one agenda after another. He has no care whatsoever if this could pose as a danger to our allies and our safety and security as a nation.
The cables describe in great length intelligence sharing and American spying on foreign minister officials and gathering information about their personal and private lives, all because Russia wanted further information on Britain's Trident missiles, which are built by the United States.
One will argue that perhaps Britain has no problem with the United States sharing its information with Russia, because the three nations are willing to work together when it comes to each of the nation's nuclear programs. However on the other hand, if Britain and Russia are both allies of the United States, why wouldn't there be a joint compromise between all three countries, instead of President Obama secretly doing this, without asking the British Government in the first place?
Another side note is Russia's relationship with Iran, which also has a nuclear program. Is Russia going to choose to share this information with Iran?
Any normal person would be arrested for espionage. Nixon resigned over Watergate, Clinton was impeached for his relation with Monica Lewinsky, Bush... don't even get me started on him... now Obama stabbing our allies in the back... will anyone in Congress actually fulfill what is written in the Constitution and investigate this?
Probably not. Nobody in Congress has guts to provide oversight on this administration.

Another side note is Russia's relationship with Iran, which also has a nuclear program. Is Russia going to choose to share this information with Iran?
Any normal person would be arrested for espionage. Nixon resigned over Watergate, Clinton was impeached for his relation with Monica Lewinsky, Bush... don't even get me started on him... now Obama stabbing our allies in the back... will anyone in Congress actually fulfill what is written in the Constitution and investigate this?
Probably not. Nobody in Congress has guts to provide oversight on this administration.

George Soros' false views on Egypt chaos
There is nothing more sickening when you happen to listen to a multi-billionaire spew some false conciliatory overture, when the real motives are already set in place.
Such is the case with billionaire George Soros, known for his philanthropy work, promoting socialist ideals and helping collapse the economies of countries including the United Kingdom and Thailand.
At the height of the "Day of Departure" protests in Egypt as hundreds of thousands of protesters call for the removal of President Mubarak, there is something else "brewing" in the middle of all this.
Since the uprising in the Middle East began last month, there have been some lingering questions as to why it is all of a sudden playing out now. One might say that the people in these countries simply were fed up with their dictatorial leaders and vowed to fight back, which is certainly true to some extent. There is no question that people in other countries grow tired of an unfair authoritarian rule.
In another perspective, there is the idea that this was orchestrated from the very beginning, and people like George Soros stand to receive a great deal of financial wealth if the Middle East continues its current decline.
Here's an interesting scenario that people are failing to address. Back in 2009, when the Iranian people protested for the removal of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, all President Obama said was "The Iranian people are the ones to choose who their leader is." Here, there was virtually no interference from the United States in a country that is slowly, but surely, becoming a real threat to the Middle East and not to mention, Ahmadinejad himself is a modern day Hitler.
Yet now, President Obama is all over Egypt, calling for the immediate resignation of President Mubarak and wants his current Vice President to take control of the country. Egypt on the other hand is telling the United States to "mind its own business".
They have a point.
The real threat again lies in the possibility of the Muslim Brotherhood getting into Egypt's government. This is why President Mubarak has refused to resign and why Egypt is telling the United States to back off.
How does all of this relate to George Soros? Yesterday, he had his own analysis of Egypt's situation, and when you read his work, it is meant to sound so caring and supportive of human rights... all you have to do is read between the lines:
"The Muslim Brotherhood's cooperation with Mohamed ElBaradei, the Nobel laureate who is seeking to run for president, is a hopeful sign that it intends to play a constructive role in a democratic political system. As regards contagion, it is more likely to endanger the enemies of the United States - Syria and Iran - than our allies, provided that they are willing to move out ahead of the avalanche."
Well there is the old saying of keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Mr. Soros is indicating that the Muslim Brotherhood has cooperation with a hopeful candidate to succeed President Mubarak, even though the Muslim Brotherhood has not formally endorsed ElBaradei. Should it also be mentioned that ElBaradei is familiar with Iran's nuclear program and has consistently indicated that Iran is not a threat? Even if ElBaradei was endorsed by the Muslim Brotherhood, what role would they have in influencing radical change throughout the Middle East?
Mr. Soros continued that "the main stumbling block is Israel. In reality, Israel has as much to gain from the spread of democracy in the Middle East as the United States has. But Israel is unlikely to recognize its own best interests because the change is too sudden and carries too many risks."
Really? What would Israel gain if Egypt's government was controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood? War with Lebanon or Iran? Slaughtering millions of Jews? His final theory seems to be aimed at replacing every single dictator in the Middle East with a new government, overshadowed by radical Islam.
It shouldn't hurt to say that Mr. Soros, like many internationalists on this planet have connections to investment bankers in the Middle East that have been financing terrorism including al-Qaeda.
It may sound somewhat conspiratorial, but Mr. Soros has always been abiding we always need a New World Order, and one of the ways to set the process of creating one, is by collapsing governments. Once a government is collapsed, some people stand to make a great deal of money off the pandemonium.
It would not surprise me if Mr. Soros carried this out.

Prisoners in Egypt released by Hezbollah
Egypt continues to look like nothing more than a war zone out of some Hollywood action movie.
The situation has grown from bad to worse as protesters and supporters of President Mubarak took to the streets for a violent battle. Gun fire, beatings, Molotov cocktails being thrown, its pure pandemonium. Journalists and world class reporters including Anderson Cooper and Christiane Amanpour have been in the middle of the crossfire and today, a Fox News crew were severely beaten and were taken to a hospital.
But that's not all that gone from bad to worse. Reuters reported that Hezbollah, which recently collapsed Lebanon's government, managed to help several of its members escape from prison in Egypt at the height of the chaos. In addition, thousands of other inmates were also able to escape, and with the Egyptian military and police force concentrating all of their efforts on the protests, a few of them have managed to muzzle their way back to the Gaza Strip.
Just moments ago, Ms. Amanpour, having dealt with getting attacked by the mob of protesters yesterday in Cairo, managed to finally talk with President Mubarak himself. In a ABC news exclusive, President Mubarak told Ms. Amanpour that "I'm fed up, I want to go, but if I resign today, there will be chaos..."
President Mubarak does have a point. There is no question that the people in Egypt are fed up with an authoritarian rule, but if he does cease power, this is one step further in what the Muslim Brotherhood wants, which again, is to destabilize the region and unite radical Islam to get rid of Israel.
Meanwhile, as expected, Iran is cheering for the protests in Egypt. Just like the Obama Administration is doing by the way.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says the protests are a sign of "Islamic Renaissance" and that "any opposition to the movement of the Egyptian people ... will bring about the anger and hatred of all Muslims around the world..."
This is also what Iran wants and will have no problem in helping Hezbollah establish its goal here, which is to dominate the entire Middle East under an Islamic rule.

Chaos in Egypt continues to rise...
President Mubarak said yesterday in his press conference that he would do everything in his power to establish 'social justice' in Egypt, but refused to resign from his position. Instead, he has vowed not to run for re-election. But this is not sitting well with the protesters influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Now, chaos has really broken out into a more violent magnitude. Supporters of Mubarak have begun to clash with the hundreds of thousands of protesters in downtown Cairo, so much so, that even CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and ABC news correspondent Christiane Amanpour found themselves in the middle of it all.
If anyone knows a little bit about the history of uprising in the Middle East, it all relates back to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iran is a classic example, back in the late 1970's when its government was trying to control the nation from becoming an Islamic country. It didn't work out. Now you have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just patiently waiting.
The same can be said of Egypt. There is a great deal of influence that the Muslim world wants to impose on just about everything, which is Sharia Law and a land that they believe is rightfully theirs. This is why they want Israel out.
Now one may argue that the Muslim Brotherhood won't have any influence on Egypt's new government once Mubarak is out. Well that certainly was not the case with Iran back then, and Jordan, which bans terrorist groups like Hamas, is struggling with its government right now.
Yet what is the most remarkable out of all of this, is while that entire region of the world is slowly becoming destabilized, President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Speaker Boehner, seem to be 'egging on the protests', but fail to mention anything about how fast this is all spreading and the interrelationships the countries in the Middle East have with one another.
Its fascinating to me that the far left in America are supporting the protests throughout the Middle East, but they'll criticize the Tea Party which protests against the same kind of government corruption...?
On one end, they support chaos, but condemn the same chaos on another end.
The double standard is breathtaking.

Jordan removes its government
Inspired by the protests in Tunisia and Egypt, the Middle Eastern nation of Jordan has been sparking similar protests that has resulted in King Abdullah removing its Prime Minister after demands by its citizens on the streets. This is also becoming a concern of the United States.
Like Egypt, Jordan is one of the very few Middle Eastern allies of the United States and the worrisome scenario that the Muslim Brotherhood could try to works its way into Jordan's government, which is the only Middle Eastern nation to ban a terrorist group like Hamas.
Reuters reports that Sheikh Mansour, the head of the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm, Islamic Action Front is quoted that Jordan's actions are "not a step in the right direction and does not show any intent toward real political reforms or meeting the popular demands for people yearning for greater political freedoms."
Obviously, the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to get as much influence out of every single Middle Eastern nation as they possibly can. Whether or not the government will give way is undetermined, but it is unlikely in Jordan's case that King Abdullah would side in imposing Sharia Law.
However, if the Muslim Brotherhood continues to gain winning ground as they are, they could become far too powerful and take Jordan with them.
Certainly not the place to be right now folks, and the protests are spreading like wildfires.
