Monday's intriguing people
Louis Farrakhan
The leader of the Nation of Islam predicts that uprisings like those in the Middle East will happen in the United States, according to the Chicago Tribune. He is calling on President Obama not to attack the protesters when they revolt. During an address Sunday, Farrakhan told his followers: “What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt … Libya, in Bahrain … what you see happening there … you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door.”
Tim Pawlenty
The former Minnesota governor, a 2012 GOP presidential prospect, tells the liberal blog Think Progress that a government shutdown might be what the country needs. “We’ve got to get back to certain principles and responsibilities and starting with getting the budget balanced,” Pawlenty said. “If it takes a dramatic moment or a dramatic week or a dramatic month, those kinds of line-in-the-sand moments are what we need to get politicians back up against the wall and have them make the tough decisions. They all talk about making the tough decisions and never do.”
Kirk Douglas
The 94-year-old actor is being heralded for holding the floor at the Academy Awards for more than five minutes last night. Known as much for his cleft chin as his epic role in the 1960 Stanley Kubrick classic “Spartacus,” Douglas was nominated three times for an Oscar during his career. He was born in 1916 of Russian-Jewish immigrants in New York and is actually named Issur Danielovitch Demsky. A WW II vet, Douglas got his first starring role with the help of friend Lauren Bacall. He is a best-selling author who survived a helicopter accident in 1991 and a stroke in 1996. He and second wife, Anne Buydens, have been married since 1954. Actor Michael Douglas is the oldest of his three surviving sons.

Bahrain:
The very nice thing about the studies nowadays, is that they happen very rapid, interview people, and start writing; without working hard for the results.
In the past, they were learning the language, mixing with the people for years, and then concluding.
I live in Bahrain, where it is obvious that the only political activists are the extremists, and the imam of each group can simply tell the public whom to elect. Hence, when I saw the parliament elections last year, people knew who will win, and with what percentage.
Some of the US consultants are betting on some information they took from the people in the street. And they are optimistic, that the people are ready for democracy.
But, me seeing the imam spitting in the water and giving it to some people to drink as a “holy water”, I am very pessimistic, and if the full democracy is given before the Liberals start involving more in politics, we need to say bye to Bahrain. And think of another country as the center of banking and US base.
Today, even the Liberal people have to write their names when they attend to the protests, otherwise, they will be considered “betrayers” to the imams; and will be punished if they succeeded in taking over.
And if really the US will think of supporting these extremists to take over, I advise the people to start selling their real-estate, and start packing, because it will be just a small island in the sea, full of extremists, who will have to become extremists not to be punished or at least neglected by the ruling parties.
And if people are saying otherwise in the interviews, it is just because they know that the US people take these interviews seriously. Especially those polished imams, who live in London, and make us think that they are Liberals.
If you want to analyze what is really happening, please go to facebook and use Google Translate. The extremists from both Sunni and Shiete are leading the problems. And you can have a look at their demands: from closing the nightclubs, tourism, to the US base. Then you can have a deeper look at what they call the “Leaders of the Change” and what they really want.
The following links might help you:

2- http://www.facebook.com/pages/%D9%85%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%82%D9%89-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86/136556503055331#!/pages/%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%AB%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A8%D8%AD%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86/152657991457374
In short, if you will allow the extremists to convey their vision to you, and extending what they believe into your talks, then they will take over.
Do you know that the population of Bahrain is also having: Christian 9%, other religions 9.8%? and most of the remaining are liberals?
What about them?
What will happen when one of the extremist parties, or both takeover and have all of the power? Will be there any room for a Liberal party to evolve when everybody had to take sides?
What will happen to the Churches and Temples and the way of living for the other religions?
To conclude, these people can’t be unleashed because of two reasons:
1- Majority of the activists are not native from Bahrain, they are coming from Persian roots or Saudi roots, and are still speaking Persian or Saudi Accent. And those believe they are superior to Other People (even Arabic Shea or Shiet). Since one is taking support from Iran and the other from Saudi.
2- They are very extremists, and can’t mix with the modern world because it is too logical for them.
Please have a look for more understanding:

Maybe Louis Farrakhan has a point. The way that the MIC(military-industrial-complex) currently runs things in Washington D.C.,it looks like it's about time that we took our capitol back from it and once again have our own President and Congress instead of these right-wing cronies!
@Sutler: I agree! Wah wah wah wah waaaaah!
As for old Louis, he's saying the same thing that we on the blogs have been saying since the unrest in Egypt began. Nothing original there!
We don't have a dictator here in the USA, and we elect our president every 4 years. Louis, do us a favor, GO BACK TO SLEEP or read your Koran. Muslims do not need leader, the Koran is their leader. So, you are no needed.
We do have a dictatorship here in America,Jack. You seem to be unaware of the MIC(military-industrial-complex) and how they own the President and most of Congress and that's why we're continuously at war halfway aroud the world!!!
Sorry Jack about the missprint above. I meant to say "around",not "aroud".
Unfortunately, CNN is very biased and one-sided against the great Louis Farrakhan. Totally disgusting how most of the US media is manipulated so much in favor of Israel and the zionists. CNN has a lot to learn from media organizations overseas.
Very well put,Concerned american. I fully agree. The news media is quite right-wing as one can see how the events in Libya are covered.
And you can bet that Farrakhan will be working to make sure the same thing happens in America. There is no lower form of sub human life than this man.
The news media is right Wing. You have to be kidding. 99% of all media is far left progressive and totally in bed with Obama.
If the news media is not right-wing,then why are Mohammar Qadaffi and Mahmoud Ahmedinejad getting such a bad rap while those dictators who are stooges of West getting very little coverage at all for their crimes? Besides,Barack Obama is in cahoots with the MIC(military-industrial-complex) and that makes him right-wing too.
You wear one of those beanies too, concerned citizen? The only thing great about Louis Farrakhan is his girth.
Ancient Texan, when you say “the lowest form of sub human”, who are you talking about?
Has Farrakhan ever taken the land from the Native Americans? Sold people as slaves?
Gone to war on a lie? Place America in this financial state that it’s currently in?
NO!
I think you should stop worrying about who’s in bed with who b/c it’s obvious that you’re the only one sleeping.
Go ahead and protest. About what?????? If they don't like they're lives them go back to scholl and retrain themsevles. If they hate America that bback go back to the land of sand and REAL DICKtators! Give me a break!!
Go ahead and protest. About what?????? If they don't like they're lives them go back to scholl and retrain themsevles. If they hate America that badly go back to the land of sand and REAL DICKtators! Give me a break!!

P S Oprah and you and her staff should remember that if you’re not going help don’t pretend are play like it on TV to get ratings.
Don’t ask million of people to give Oprah Winfery any money if she does not want to use it to help those who are in need and asses.
Tens of millions are give to Oprah every year to Angel Network why take the money if Oprah Not going to use it in the USA where it is given.
If it is given in the United States it should be use for the needy in the United States!!!
Oprah Don’t takes the money if you’re not going to help Son Darren of the Chi Lites and the legendary black entertainers in your own field that are homeless because of abuse and Corruption and racism.
Just give back if you’re not going to use it to help poor families in the USA and inner City Children at risk that the low life that wrote their uncovering statements obviously doesn’t care a lick about right.
If you can spend 40 million on a vacation for your spoiled staff I think you can find time to help!!!!!
There will be no Apology from me are anyone who speak the truth out!!!!
Tell that to the dead legendary black entertainers who died in poverty and legacy abuse
like Sammy Davis Jr., Creadel Jones from the Legendary Chi Lites, Jackie Wilson, Muddy Waters, and Florence Ballard from the Supremes ,
I wonder but do I really really need to are anyone else if the shoe was on Oprah Winfey’s foot would Oprah Winfery are her greedy staff still think the same way If they needed help from legacy exploitation and abuse that cause Oprah Winfery and staff to be poor are homeless would Oprah’s selfish Idea still be thought and used by her and her staff. Oprah I Got Mine You Get Yours I know with those Ideas you must be really help those poor in Africa Yeah Right!!!!!!

Can’t wait until January taxes roll around you and your staff can pretend Africa is your interest hoping that the IRS along are believes that lye for how long hum THAT”S THE REAL QUESTION HUM?
