The Next Revolt: The United Homeland of America
The revolution in Egypt could also spark a revolt in the US. All the conditions in the US are ripe for it: high unemployment, homelessness, increasing food and gas prices, and an unresponsive government that is selling America by the pound to Wall Street speculators and banksters. The only difference: it is not the revolutionary Left that will revolt in the US, but the extreme radical RIGHT: the Tea Party, the Christian Fundamentalists and White Supremacists. They are racist, misogynist anti-immigrant, and anti-gay. They are extremely violent, dangerous, and armed to the teeth.

This is a really interesting commentary on the situation in Egypt! I agree 100% about the first part (that we have similar problems in the US), but I do not know about the second part of your commentary. I think that some of us "Lefties" will revolt and do revolt. Granted, we may not do it in a grandiose way, as the Egyptians have chosen to, but we do it in other smaller ways. However, if someone organized a protest, I would join in for sure!
I hope you don't mind that I will be quoting you in my French blog. I keep the blog semi-private, but if you wish to see it, let me know and I'll send you the link :)
I have a hard time imagining a revolution in the US (and hopefully it won't happen because like you said, the right wing is dangerous!).
