The Port Deal and Race was it a factor at all(Of Course Not)
The Emirates Economist | 03/12/06 | bayourant

Posted on 03/12/2006 7:51:11 PM PST by bayourant

Did Race play a role in the Port Deal discussions? The very charge is met by the likes of Sean Hannity and others with Righteous Indigination. In fact, to mention it makes you the true problem. Mark Levin in fact called a MAjor General a dirtbag over that charge. The below cartoons may be an issue now in the UAE. They are not cartoons about that ole darn prophet however. THere will be no boycotts over these but remember still they dont help things. The cartoonist just give us what we want sometimes. From MSNBC the following cartoon. There were many others that through the glory of the net are available to all.

I was for the Dubai Port Deal as much as any of it supporters here on FR but now the deal is dead and it is time to move on. No matter how much we disagree with each other on a particular issue we must work very hard on keeping the House and the Senate because if we lose the House the democrats will certainly impeach President Bush and make no doubt about it. I will donate money to the Republican Party and I will work very hard to keep our majority in both houses of Congress. Imagine my friends the ultimate nightmare scenario:

Impeaching the President of the United States in time of war.

I hope we all will unite now for one goal and one goal only, keep our majority in the House and Senate and prevent this absolute nightmare of impeaching President Bush in time of war.

That's a badly worded poll. It looks like it's meant to split the votes.

Most of our imports come from inside the country.

Care to explain how we can IMPORT things (that is, bring them into the US) from INSIDE the US?? It's a little too late for the metaphysics involved in importing something from yourself...

Take it up with Jim.
The poll is the poll. Easily understood.

Actually, in linking to the earlier post, he demonstrated that the same statement had been made earlier. Guess no one bit on it that time.

I frequently scroll on by posts that refer to folks as "dirt bags" (and worse). Not worth the time to figure what that is all about.

Mark Levin in fact called a MAjor General a dirtbag over that charge.

From time to time, the American people get it right.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, any number of sitting CongressCreeps. Yep. Sure thing.

If you're that easily amused, maybe you should join the circus.

Funny you mention that, I tried to set up a trapeze in the Senate once.

Less shady characters that need supervision is a plus.

They're not "imports" of course, but why let correct use of terminology get in the way of an argument eh?!

BTW, I still think we need to retrieve Acadia from the hands of all those illegal aliens.

Mark, trying to pick a fight with me, over something I did NOT say, is NOT all that "persuasive" a refutation.

You just stated that I called someone else "stupid", which I did NOT do! This is the same thing that YOU came onto this thread to cavil about someone else doing to you.

And yes, I am well informed. Unlike so many, I know that DPW bought P&O. I also know that neither company OWNED/OWNS the terminals, nor would either be in charge of PORT SECURITY nor the UNLOADING of the ships. I also know that this began as a purely POLITICAL hosing by Chuckie Schumer, with more than a slight tip of the hat for the Longshoremen's Union and some BIG Dem supporters.

Noe of which has anything whatsoever to do with Judge Alito and if YOU don't know that, or are going to pretend that you don't, then, well.....that's YOUR problem.

We're not talking a "little" fear here. This remains near hysteria. Facts be damned.

Exactly.

It wouldn't have been that hard to fine, since we know the date the general made his remarks.
