Congressman Frank Wolf: Coptic Christians Fear for Their Future in Morsi's Egypt

Republican congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.) who has recently returned from a Middle East visit has warned of eroding U.S. credibility in the region, especially in Egypt, because of the Obama administration's support to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Wolf also said that U.S. aid to Egypt should be "conditioned" on how the current regime of President Morsi treats its Christian minority.

According to the republican congressman, the Copts and other Christians he met during his visit believe the Obama administration supports Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood he hails from, regardless of the persecution Christians continue to suffer.

Wolf says that many churches have been desecrated, and no permits to build new churches have been granted since the January 2011 uprising.

Jeb Bush: I’m ‘in Sync’ With Lindsey Graham on Immigration Reform

 

We won't be fooled again by any member of this family.  Some have decried the Bush "vision thing;" but it's not that they lack vision, it is just a very different vision from that of most conservatives in the Republican Party.  That big-government, big-spending, "compassionate conservatism" gave us the Marxist immigrant currently occupying the White House.  On social issues, too, it is no accident that all the Bush women are pro-abortion and pro-same-sex "marriage."  The male politicians in the family know they would not be viable in the GOP with such views, so the wives and daughters reassure the Establishment and media by sharing the family's real views.

Jeb is probably the best of the Bush bunch, but it's no new Bushes for us!
