"You're the newbie. And you sound like like an open border - open ports apologist making the accusations you do against others".
Man, I have been a Conservative ACTIVE in politics for 51 years. I have worked for FOUR successful Republican Presidential campaigns. I have raised tens-of-thousands of dollars for Conservative candidates. Your tenure on this website does not trump real-world facts. BTW. I am a financial contributor here on FR, and have been since day one.
What I "sound like" to you, and what I am, are two different things. What YOU "sound like" to me, and what you are, is still unclear.
I will repeat just so you know where I stand.
I do not want this DUTCH/UAE company to run the six ports in question, if there is a real security threat. I want us to not harm future foreign investment in the US. If we need to block this company from running our ports, we need to do it in the proper manner. Timely, quickly, and logically.
What in my opinion deserves such abhorrent remarks to a fellow Conservative? Disagree yes, but you treat me as if I were ted kennedy. I am the farthest thing from that sort of slime!

Well, there's your problem; you haven't come to the realization yet that the GOP has been been sold to politically socialist, oportunistic parisites who plan to suck America dry to satiate their own greed. Pay attention!
If you would simply step back a moment and remove your dubya blinders, you will clearly see a real and present danger of major proportions with muslims running our strategic ports. And no, it is not true this is a paper only involvement. And no, it matters zero nada zilch if it were only on paper, (which it is not) since what is means in the case IS operational HANDS ON functions at our strategic ports...including security.
Ask yourself, what profit seeking company would make a paper deal of 6.8 bill and not be hands on in it's day to day operations? I'd argue a soon to be bankrupt company.
