Yes well I knew this thanks to Tony Snow, but hell why let facts get in the way? Lets jump on the Bash Bush Express! ?Sarc Off
Then he should shut up.
The thing has been fixed, and he's making it worse all over again.
He may be a fine general, but he's a stupid politician.
Which is normal for generals.
I'll just say that I'm somewhere between "deport them all" and "give them all the keys to the treasury."
I guess you haven't been reading the immigration threads, huh?
That is NOT acceptable. That's amnesty.
Most times it's people who ask "What's a troll?"
They will, but man's seemingly inexhaustible capacity to commit violence against other humans will first be put on grave display, yet one more time.
Unfortunately, I believe you are right, Cow. I never thought that so many Americans would forget the horror of 9/11, but many clearly have.
The Dems and media have succeeded in lulling too many people into lethargy by saying there is no threat, and by placing the blame on President Bush.
In a sense, the President is being punished by his own success. People have begun to feel safe because there have been no attacks, and do not realize all that he has done to make sure that hasn't happened.
It's a strange situation, and I hope we're both wrong in thinking that only another attack will make people get serious about this threat, and this very real war.
Schumer didn't jump on board. Peter King did. This port deal had NOTHING to do with national security, and had EVERYTHING to do with politics. More specifically "neo-protectionism".
The Congresspeople against this port deal happens to be the most ill-informed bunch of rubes I've ever been witness to. Suffice is to say, they were propagating the complete distortions perpetuated by the media. They misreported this whole port sale from the word "go", not the least of which, they misrepresented the facts as well.
What's more. These Congresspeople were spreading the alarmist goobledygook the media happend to be reporting, and FReepers were aligning with the likes of Schumer and Clinton, and RINO's like Peter King. The ridiculous fact is, everyone against the port deal were all using the same talking points ad nauseum. Devoid of any factual logic when it pertains to usual business transactions, and who is actually in charge of security in this country; specifically border security.
ROFLLLLLL!!!
YUP!
You really are confused. Actually your "playing dumb" game stinks worse with every post.
Get lost.
The American people intelligently do not share your confidence in 'allies' where a corrupt elite sides with us and the man in the street hates us. How 'allied' would Egypt be if it had a fair election ? Just as the Europeans realize that their Muslims will not be assimilated by secularism, socialized medicine, and the dole, so the American people realize that money hasn't got one damn thing to do with the problems of people sitting on top of the richest cash cow on this planet.
The entire assumption that Muslims are 'just like us' and 'want the same things we do' is collapsing in the face of facts throughout the Western world.
The Emir of Dubai does business with us and thinks he can bribe any politician in Washington. But he is not an ally. Nations are allies. We made this same mistake with Imperial Iran where we had an alliance with the Shah.
Welcome to Fr...my advice is to lurk and learn.....
It's so refreshing to read your voice of sanity and fact,Sky. Thanks.

I hope you clicked on the link ;-)
Found quite by accident this morning, looking for something else.
I thoroughly enjoyed the irreverent style.
The only pang of wonder and guilt that I've had through this is the vague recollection of COSCO and Long Beach back in the late 90's and up to 2003 or so. Letting COSCO take a port was anathema - I took it as an article of faith and never researched "how ports work."
That is NOT acceptable. That's amnesty.
What are you going to do, rationally, about those businesses that have employed the illegals?
Look, Sham. What you keep missing is that we HAVE ALLIES in the Middle East and we NEED them. Iraq and Afghanistan are the newest ones. They are predominantly Muslim, so you tell me, should we crap on that or use that alliance to our benefit? The same holds for the UAE. Let me ask you a question I asked another poster today: Would the WOT (and therefore the U.S.) be better served by A) an alliance with the UAE or B)not having the UAE as an ally. A or B?
Nobody is saying "Muslims are just like us" by the way, except YOU. Stop muddying those waters, Sham.
I think that's why we stuck with this thread instead of jumping all over the forum trying to have a discussion. Continuity.
Oh really. Weren't you just saying you have read FR for years?
