You are of course entitled to your own opinion about Sean Hannity, but your article is unpersuasive and downright insulting. It also displays a lack of understanding and historical context.

The faulty effort to claim the mantel of Ronald Reagan is particularly offensive. Given Reagan's opposition to the give-away of the Panama Canal, I think that we can safely presume that he would never have allowed this deal to get as far as it did. Especially in our post 9/11 world, Reagan would have quickly seen the folly of allowing foreign elements to have such involvement in our ports, especially those with ties to such foreign governments as questionable as the UAE.

Reagan, as he usually was, would have been in tune with the vast majority of the American people, and with grass roots Republicans.

Let me ask you this question: Why do you think that your opinion is so contrary to the vast majority of the American people or with grass roots Republicans? [Hint: "they're stupid" or "they're uninformed and lazy" are not convincing arguments.]

So, I am here -- intelligent, informed, aware, energetic, willing to listen and learn -- convince me that your position is correct and my opposition to the ports deal is wrong.
