Conservative stance on Egypt
I'm in the UK watching events in Egypt. What seems to be the US right's take on the revolution in Egypt? From what I've seen, there seems to a lot of support for Mubarak from them. If that's correct, it shows their absolute hypocrisy when it comes to their supposed love of "freedom"

3. They only seem to be interested in their freedom
It always seems to be that conservatives are only interested in their freedom, and by them, a mean a subset of the US population (usually, white male christians), rather than the freedom of other groups.

2. The Right is split
The Teabaggers, believe it or not, are on the same side as the Progressives in this one.

The Neo-Cons see the hand of Al-Qaeda behind it, in spite of a-Q being strongly anti-Muslim-Brotherhood and anti-ElBaradei.

4. Their stance:
If anything good comes out of it, it's because of Reagan.

Otherwise, it's Obama's/Clinton's/Carter's fault.
