The Port Deal and Race was it a factor at all(Of Course Not)
The Emirates Economist | 03/12/06 | bayourant

Posted on 03/12/2006 7:51:11 PM PST by bayourant

Did Race play a role in the Port Deal discussions? The very charge is met by the likes of Sean Hannity and others with Righteous Indigination. In fact, to mention it makes you the true problem. Mark Levin in fact called a MAjor General a dirtbag over that charge. The below cartoons may be an issue now in the UAE. They are not cartoons about that ole darn prophet however. THere will be no boycotts over these but remember still they dont help things. The cartoonist just give us what we want sometimes. From MSNBC the following cartoon. There were many others that through the glory of the net are available to all.

Boy, you are an A-hole in one. You keep quoting this guy bayourant. I'll tell you what, $5000 on the table right now. Not bayourant's comment on a thread putting words in my mouth, but words from my own mouth. I would ask Jim Robinson to track down your true identity and location and that you, hole-n-one, and your buddy bayourant, meet my $5000 challenge -- if I said it, I owe $5000 which you can both split; if I did not say it, then you each pay me $2500. I am tired of having to disprove a lie. Now, you have the guts to put your money where your mouth is or not?

Is this the Mark Levine we are talking about? Seems like a nice guy. http://www.marklevine.com/

Nope. It's this guy;

He is a good guy. He's just wrong on this issue.

Well at least you started out throwing down that race card. Imo, race has nothing to do with it. It is the adherence to a religion called Islam. They are bound to the Quran which calls for them to wipe out the Infidel. That would be us, but you should know that by now. Yes, I will let my cats guard the bird cage. Duuuuuh! Terrorists come in all colors.

70% of the American public oppose this deal because they were fed a line of BS from our lying media and have NO IDEA what the deal actually entails.

I maintained that from about the 2nd or 3rd day the port deal was out in the media. Two days later, Rush was saying the same thing, and a week later Jonah Goldberg, of NRO fame, was saying the same thing in an LAT editorial.

Another persuasive argument - you accusing someone of being uninformed and stupid, but of course you are well-informed and sensible. Very persuasive.

While I respect Clark for his service as a fellow military man, his actions once he stopped being a military man and became a politician (and it's worse than it sounds, since he was still wearing the uniform when he made that transition,) make me despise him to no end.

so now you are parsing it down to the "crane" level. yes, I know that ports have docks, and at those docks are terminals, and at those terminals are cranes. who cares, none of this has anything to do with the basis for the opposition to the ports deal.

---Now, defending one's self from a lie isn't thin-skinned, it's correcting the record. I do note, however, that you said nothing of the allegation, only my objection to it.---

Well I think you could have done it with more art and less bluster. You did seem to lose your cool, not a good thing for someone whose profession it is to talk.

That's my opinion, anyway.

Always a pleasure to make someone laugh...especially if the Great One says she's Great! :)

The outcome of this deal was actually good for America.

There is outcome, and there is process. IMO, the way this unfolded is not good.

It woke up the American people and gave them an insight into how poorly the federal government considers US sovereignty when making certain bureaucratic decisions.

LOL. If you think this "woke up the people," well, I'll just keep ROFL. MAO.

The American people stood up and spoke out. They exercised their right to free speech and political dissent and told the GOP led Congress, this decision by the Bush administrations CFIUS agency was a bureaucratic blunder of the first order. We must always hold to account the actions of our elected officials and appointed public servants.

"Voice of the people" might come back and bite your backside. This is YOUR decision, eh?

I agree the bureaurcratic process was a blunder, as was the political process. And I emphatically agree with holding the politicians to account.

But I think the decision here, agaisnt this "transfer of rights" from P&O to DPW, was arbitrary.

"70% of the American public oppose this deal because they were fed a line of BS from our lying media and have NO IDEA what the deal actually entails."
Exactly.

I'm glad to hear that you both think 70% of the American populace are stupid idiots. That 70% includes an awful lot of Pubs that you are denigrating, myself being one of them. And let me tell you, the last thing I am, is swayed by the MSM, whom in general, disgust me. Are you an elitist Republican who thinks only you know better? I thought Dems were the elitists. This boils down to the Nationalists who are concerned with the safety of our country vs. the Globalists whose major concern is the almighty dollar and the next business deal, regardless of the consequences of that deal. Your side lost, in case you didn't notice.

You have, obviously, never heard the Great One on the radio. If you had, you would know that Mr Levin actually used a lot of restraint.
