Fearful Fringe nativism is the essence of surrender

A fair number of analysts have linked the Dubai Ports World controversy with President Bush's approach to border security. The president, they say, can't keep our borders safe, so why should we trust his word when it comes to securing our ports?
The question unmasks the questioners. While our borders have become porous, they haven't become highways for terror, at least by the slender evidence available to laymen. Instead, they have become the focal point for fearful imaginings — of Islamofascists secreted in otherwise empty trucks or train cars; underground railroads for bin Laden-trained thugs who have slithered around the world and up through South and Central America.
When one asks the Frightened Fringe for data to support the claims of a silent invasion, one gets mildly paranoid, slightly off-point questions: What if you're wrong? What about the Millennium plot?
The same with the Dubai Ports deal. The most furious critics of the transaction seem blithely uninterested in facts. It doesn't matter that DPW operates worldwide. It doesn't matter that the port in Dubai services more U.S. Naval vessels than any port outside the United States, or that Dubai Ports World handles some of that business.

Cfr goon shilling for the agenda.
bump for later
Wow is this going to freak out the Perpetually Pissed Freepers. Great Stuff!
Perpetually Pissed Freepers?...PPF???
LOL
It's funny. They talk about not wanting foreign nations doing these this in America as the essence of surrender, yet they're the ones who have surrendered.
They're the ones whining that we can't do anything without the worlds help.
There has been evidence of Arabs among illegal entrants over the southern border posted here on FR, including (if memory serves) photographs of books and papers left behind in Arabic.
I'm pinging a few who might know where those posts might be.
Tony is also shilling for this.

Hence the slurs against border control proponents.
He's advocating the dissolution of the nation.
T.S. misses the whole point of the border analogy. To Bush, security comes after business on his priority list. To Bush, rule of law comes after business on his priority list. It's Bush's refusal to enforce and uphold many of our laws, specifically immigration and border sovereignty, that leads many of us to mistrust him and his motives.
Whoaa!!! Good find. Thanks! I'll be sharing this with everyone.
I'm already hearing banjo music.
Bite a fart.
Are you aware of any credible evidence linking this company, the managers who control this company, to any event that endangered port security ever, anywhere in the world?
I can't seem to find one . . .
"Cfr goon shilling for the agenda."
Ignorant bigot whining cause he told you the truth.
We all know that foreign entities are guilty till proved innocent
bump
