And you've got Jimmah on your side. There's something to be proud of.

Jimmy is one of the biggest supporters of free trade and globalism, as was Karl Marx.

The one thing that nobody wants to talk about is how much of the money generated will go to terrorists and the animals that are killing our soldiers.

Haven't you heard, Americans are racist if they dare oppose this deal. The UAE gave comfort to Osama Bin Laden? So what, they're our friends now. It's important we kiss up to them so they can make their billions at our expense.

Talk about up being down, the whole thing is getting weirder by the day.

If we want a huge rally, we gotta invite the Dims, because they are against this too.

Who woulda thunk it?

We can throw "true bipartisanship" right into this administration's face bec

Nope, not me. Just because I don't understand something doesn't mean that it is not understandable. Any of y'all that protest are only doin' the demoncrap's work for them.

None of it really suprises me any more. After getting called racist for suggesting that open borders aren't a good idea after watching 3,000 of my fellow citizens die, it's just pretty hard to suprise me.

fallacious argument: saying something must be opposed because someone who supports it is undesirable.

Modern globalization and free trade policies are newer than Karl Marx and Jimmy Carter. President Clinton supported these policies also, but I support free trade on its merit, not based on who else lines up to support or oppose it.

Maybe you don't mind paying terrorists but I don't like it and will do everything I can to keep my money from going to them.

Good post.

Short and sweet, and correct.

Specifically whom are you referring to as terrorists? The government of the United Arab Emirates?

How many guesses do I get to find out who the real people are behind this rally?

That's a good point, I get same feeling when the vast majority of conservatives who see this deal for what it is are called union or democratic shills because Schumer or Clinton happens to be against it. Thanks for making the case for us.

Here is a posting of P&O berths being purchased by Dubai Ports. There are only 2 to 7 berths in each of the 6 North American ports. That is not much.

Sorry, all of a sudden I can't get the link to come up 'clickable.'

I hear you. The conservative response to this issue is getting totally ridiculous. I expect hysteria from the left-wing moonbats but not from people at FR.
