"Not Ralph or Ed!"

I am a big fan of "The Honeymooners". Ralph was everyman, always trying to find the secret of success, and never quite finding it. Along with his friend Ed Norton, Ralph led me to hours of endless laughter. Ralph and Ed belonged to the "Raccoon Lodge"; they wore coonskin caps and jackets with golden trim. They had a secret "Raccoon Handshake" which included waving the tails on their caps at one another. I also liked the "Flintstones"; basically a rip-off of "The Honeymooners" in cartoon form. Fred and his friend Barney belonged to "The Loyal Order of the Water Buffalo". Fred wore a water buffalo hat, including the horns, and also had a jacket with golden trim. Both of these shows were fun to watch. Neither the "Raccoons" nor the "Water Buffalo" ever did anything violent, unless you call "water bombs" from a hotel window violent.

We have many fraternal organizations in America. We have Elks, Moose, VFW, American Legion, Jaycees and countless others. For the most part, these organizations are dedicated to community service and family fun. We also have groups like the "Aryan Brotherhood", the "New Black Panthers" and the "Ku Klux Klan"; groups of violent racist morons. We know about the past history of all these radical lunatic "race gangs". I have seen pictures and videos of "Klan" picnics, and they are very disturbing: children are being taught a doctrine of hate while eating hot dogs and playing outdoor games; the seeds of hate are sown to the innocent. Hatred is often masked in patriotism and pride; we saw this in NAZI Germany. Smiling Josef Goebbels at NAZI gatherings hugging children certainly didn't show the real face behind the smile.

Egypt is a powder keg waiting to explode. People are being murdered as I write these words; news correspondents are being beaten and threatened by street thugs. A gap in leadership is imminent; someone will fill that gap. Who is going to fill that gap? A very hungry wolf is leering at the Egyptian people right now. The "Muslim Brotherhood" wants to get hold on the reins of government during this volatile time. They are not the "Raccoons" or the "Water Buffalo"; they are the "Klan", or the "New Black Panthers". They have a history of hatred and antisemitism. This "brotherhood" has said to the people of Egypt that they should "Prepare for war with Israel". We already have one idiot in the Middle-East who says "Try to imagine a world without Israel"; we don't need more racist-antisemitism in this region. There are already elements of the media that are putting a "happy face" on the Muslim Brotherhood. As Americans, we cannot buy into this rhetoric. I beg all of you who are unfamiliar with the Muslim Brotherhood to research them today; find out what they are really about. Don't take my word for this. You will be disturbed by their history. I hope President Obama will think long and hard about any contact with this group of radicals. Considering the opinion of the Muslim Brotherhood by the President of the United States will give them validity; not a good idea. America, guess what? "Ralph and Ed" and "Fred and Barney" wouldn't join this bunch. Adolph and Mao might be interested! THEY ARE NOT THE "RACCOONS"!!
