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.

Americans let the terrorists get on board.


When you read the 911 Commission Report and find out how many of the terrorists were flagged but still allowed to board...it really makes the blood boil.

The vast majority of ad hominem remarks, insults, and outright lies, came from the antis; some of whom are still doing that and lying through their teeth.

ROTFLMAO

Your computer didn't give you a shock when you typed that?

What you said about mudballs went by so fast that one could easily mistake what you said if they didn't have the advantage of rewind. I think you should have corrected the poster the first time he said it on another thread, instead of letting it fester. If it were me, I would have told him who you were in Freepmail and corrected him after the first thread, instead of how you ultimately handled it. Anyhow, keep up the good work.

"You seem to view disagreement, which is rare, as condemnation and disloyalty..."

To these fanatics, "principle" and "common sense" are suddenly foreign concepts.

And along with that "condemnation and disloyalty," the Levins, the Hannitys, the Ingrahams, the Coulters and ALL detractors are almost accused by these same Freepers of traitory and betrayal to country and the President.

Funny, we who oppose the Dubai Deal never felt they were "disloyal," or "traitors" -- just mislead and wrong.

Unwittingly (or maybe not), these globalist RINOs are the tadpoles of the Democrat Party.

After careful thought, I'll continue to opt for the facts and the truth, over lies and obfuscation.

Hmmm...no "dirtbag" comment from the Great One (not that I expected to see one.) Case closed, bayourant slandered (libeled? I am not a lawyer, only play one on TV) holdonnow (a.k.a. the Great One.)

But in one of Rass's polls they admitted that DESPITE having followed it closely, so they say, they do not know pretty basic facts.


If they followed the story in the MSM...I can't blame them for not being informed on even the most basic of facts.

Yes, please, Mr Levin. Save your energies for the really worthy target of Russ Feingold. God Bless You!

But, this one has just begun. It will all tally out about the same in the end. Pro-UAE and Anti-UAE, neither of us will change our minds. Thank God the deal is dead.

It's actually Sir William Shwenk Gilbert, whom I threatened you with ( and did post you some lyrics by, which you never commented upon and broke my heart )

I cherish the post, and my absence of response is just a clue that I am, at bottom, irresponsible.

Of course that is stupid. THAT is a protectionist. But clearly you can oppose this deal, or supported a 45 day period, without being a protectionist. And the constant effort to confuse the issue was, well, demagoguery, uninformed, etc., etc.

I supported the 45-day review, and I supported the deal based on the merits of investing in this country's greatness. This deal had nothing to do with security, because DPW made it clear from the outset they weren't going to be doing security through press releases, the agreements of the deal itself, and through media appearances.

Anyone with an obvious clue as to who runs the ports of entry (be it border or sea ports), or has read the Founding Documents, would realize it's the functionary responsibility of the government to secure this country's safety.

Mudballs -- you throw mudballs. It's in the plural. It is not the same as calling some a dirtbag. Now, I've had about all of this I care to take for one night. TXsleuth asks about censure. Censure is whatever the Senate says it is, which means they won't do a thing to Feingold. As I am on east coast time here, I have to turn in.
