Recent events in Egypt, and elsewhere in the Arab world are inspiring to a lot of people. But, it seems, not everyone is happy. There are a lot of sceptics out there, including in some rather unexpected corners of both the blogosphere and the political sphere.
As Lew Rockwell noted, for instance, some rather odd things are happening on the American right. It looks like Glenn Beck is not happy about the Egyptian people speaking their minds,
"The angst-filled view on Egypt began with Glenn Beck, the most influential voice on the tea-party right ... It was shockingly clear: he supported the regime over the people, the US empire over self-determination.
"Following Beck, there was a rising ethos on the American right that looked down on the protests, regretting them and even hoping for a full-scale and murderous crackdown. At the CPAC convention on the very weekend that Mubarak fell, Ron Paul was the only major speaker to even address the subject, much less celebrate the freedom movement."
Soon, we'll come back to this issue, and look some more at who is it exactly among the conservatives -- as well as among the self-styled American Constitutionalists -- that is unhappy with the Egyptian, and more widely the Arab, revolution.
