I'm sick of people of your ignorant ilk accusing all those who disagree with you of basing their opinion on emotions not facts. The fact is that the U.S. citizens have seen through this globalist charade and have decided that the port deal is not in the interest of their Country.
The pro port deal, pro anything Bush wants, crowd have been filling these posts with the most emotional attacks against those who disagree with them since the Harriet Myers debacle. Wake up! This deal is not good for the United States even though it might be good for some peoples globalist agenda.
I have posted numerous times facts, including the fact that this is about more than 6 ports, only to have these facts not countered but ignored.
The decision has arguments on both sides. Most of the anti-port deal posters clearly understand this. The pro-port deal posters are the ones that can only see as far as there emotions allow, which isn't too far, and refuse to see that there are good arguments on the other side. Name calling and ad hominem attacks have become their modus operandi. FR should be a forum for those who both agree and disagree to be able to have a civil, logical, unemotional discussion about important issues, such as the port deal, without being personally attacked or having their motives or intelligence questioned.
We are not liberals, lets not act like them.

When you have conservatives voting with Chuck Schumer, you have conservatives acting like liberals.

This is pure xenophobic panic, in my opinion.

This kind of thinking assumes ALL Arabs are our enemies. Well, they AREN'T ALL our enemies. Some have been very good allies, and that includes the UAE.

Agreed. Stop whining then.

And if you believe the majority of the American public (or even more then 25%) actually understand and know how U.S. (and World) ports operate???...Well then....you make my point for me. We are asking our leaders to base their decisions on the "opinions/ polls" of the completely uninformed.

Sorry. Not for me.

Well stated.

You sound like a well informed conservative who has the will power to keep his/her emotions in check.

Thanks for the post.
