AP ALERT

Posted on 02/21/2006 12:32:20 PM PST by Brian Mosely

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Bush says the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and he will veto any bill that would stop it.

I'll tell you exactly why - because I see what is going on around me and know that it is not by accident. This country is moving towards the NWO just as fat as it did under Clinton. Either way, we get screwed. By the way, GWB, not me, referred to Clinton as his new brother.

There are literally 10 - 20 million illegals in this country. Why???? Please, for the life of me tell me why? Big business throws a lot of money to the GOP that's why. A president, whether it be GOP or RAT who sells out the country like that is not deserving of people like yourself willing to fall on a sword for him. It is changing our country drastically, quickly, for the worse.

Go back to one month after 9/11 happened, I live on the border of NYC by the way, could you imagine this globalist b.s. occuring? No one, even the most cynical RAT, would believe that an ARAB CONTROLLED company would be taking over management of the ports.

On issue after issue, has there been any real change in things? Seriously? Although we got tax cuts in some areas, local property taxes are through the freaking roof and the AMT is likely to hit so many people this year, wiping out a lot of that gain for people.

CFR????? He signed the bill admitting at the time is was unconstitutional? Is that principled leadership?

If you look past the platitudes and the slogans, really nothing has changed that much.

I do applaud Alito and Roberts. Those were great choices.
But again, Meirs was such an obvious mistake, he was forced to nominate Alito. For those who think it was a plan, come on, even you can't believe that.

On issue after issue, after issue, he says one thing, does another.

What has happened to FR, Mo? Where do these people come from??............there are flocks of them swooping down to devour all sense of reason!

They are the same people who come out of the woodwork every time they smell blood in the water

They think knocking Republicans and having Dems in office will teach us a lesson .. just like they did in 92

Well .. I did learn a lesson from the 8 year night mare of the Clinton Administration

NEVER AGAIN

"Who said I had a vast knowledge of port security? I sure didn't. I will say this though: Few people have a grasp on the simplistic nature of port security"

Sorry, I thought someone posting remarkable insights in favor of our ports being run by terrorists would be able to explain why it has been proffered that Dubai is a hotbed for illicit activity with nukes...

This is just not true. CFR is the only thing he did what he said he wasn't going to do, and it was wrong. And stupid too.

As for the rest, you're talking about compromise........the fundamental compromises necessary when you are President. Reagan did it, and Bush is doing it. You can't govern without compromise. You can type on the Internet, and you can talk on a talk show without compromise, but you can't be President without giving up some of the things you're working for.

As to your NWO stuff.........I don't know what cult you're all a part of, but I'm not in one, so I don't agree. You guys all sing the same theme song that's obviously coming from the same place of worship, and I don't fall for it.

That said, I don't think the President has done nearly enough to stop illegal immigration, and I hope he wakes up to the necessity of strengthening our borders even further. But then again, to say he's done nothing is a lie. And to say he's the same as clinton is beyond absurd.

I suggest you read Fred Barnes' book, or Ron Kessler's book. Even though you hate President Bush, you will at least gain an understanding as to why he does what he does, and how deep his character is.

Good day, chris.

As you mentioned earlier, hipaatwo, I think some of the Democrat's objections regarding this matter is because they want the entire operation unionized and we all know how the Democrats love unions and why.

NEVER AGAIN

Amen! NEVER!

At this point in history, having a clinton in office will kill us all.

It was horrible in 92 to divide and let this creep in office, but now it may cost us our lives.

The simple-mindedness of these people astounds me. They are willing to sacrifice our future and our country to terror because they don't get their way on everything.

Before I joined FR, I had no idea that anyone calling himself a conservative was so fundamentally DENSE.

Some kinds of education are painful........

It's not blackmail. You turn on your friends because you don't like everything they do, you undermine them, you can end up with something much worse. ...

Enlighten me, how could it be worse? Currently, we have something on the order of 5,000 illegal aliens streaming daily across our borders. Currently, less than 25 percent of merchant ships are thoroughly checked. Currently, American companies own less than 10 percent of our merchant fleet. And, now, the president wants an Arab country with documented ties to our Al Qaeda enemies to control access into our ports. Sorry, but I cannot back Bush on this issue and I will actively campaign for those who oppose him should he insist on his stupidity. Rather than the ultraconservative "Clymers" on FR who swallow every thing this administration puts out, MY COUNTRY COMES FIRST!

The difference is that GWB is compromising our way to socialism and globalism no different than Clinton. sorry you can't see the big picture.

Remember 95' he word's balanced budget? Welfare reform? etc etc. The Contract with America????

We were at least forcing Clinton to compromise on conservative terms. WTF happened????

Now, its either we get a massive entitlement program, or just a huge one. That's not compromise, its called getting screwed either way.

Yeah, figured as much. A little insight to your character that I didn't need.

If you believe that being kept safe from terror is being 'screwed' so be it.

George W. Bush campaigned honestly on who he was, and what he wanted to do.

If you weren't listening, the problem is yours, not his.

Sorry, chris. Pay closer attention and you won't waste all your energy being angry all the time.

I am angry because I see our country being sold down the river time and time again by hack politicians like the Bushes, Clintons, etc on the basis of big corporate interests over all else.

"No doubt we will watch this company very closely."

Hopefully from a distance of thousands of miles. You havent a clue what you are supporting. So let me advise you, you are supporting the destruction of these United States with nukes hauled in from Dubai. And please don't let a few nasty little facts get in your way.

Before mouth off more ignorance, would you care to gain a little knowledge? I challenge you to follow the link and explain it to this forum. All proponents of this deal are welcome to attempt to as well. I look forward to your explanation. Other proponents have been asked to but fail to respond. Maybe you will be a better freeper with more courage than your other partners in this crime against these United States.

Dubai is hotbed for illicit activity (nukes)

I guess no amount of factual clarity is going to persuade you. Having said that, carry on with your obfuscated from the truth and facts knee-jerking.

When the so-called "factual clarity" is clouded with neocon nonsense that will afford a nation (with documented ties to our Al Qaeda enemies) access to our vital ports I guess not...MY COUNTRY COMES FIRST, rather than the man I voted for to lead it.
