[Do not dub me shapka broham]

How many elections have you won?

My apologies, but I didn't realize that I was communicating with Hank Scheinkopf.

Or is it Alex Castellanos?

I cry your pardon.

I didn't know anything about Mrs. Chuckie. I'm a westerner. We use union thugs for roping practice.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Doesn't surprise me. Thanks for the link.

[samantha]

I agree, if it walks like a duck.........

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

You're un-American. Don't talk to me.

Do I have that about right?

[lawdog]

Yes I am paying attention...too bad some people in the White House mucked this up....My concern is focused on the national security issue... I would be willing to bet my familiarity with "OC" is probably much better than yours.

[TigersEye]

You haven't gotten anything right yet. You're anti-American.

[Howlin]

Our representatives decided that the views of 80% of the American people mattered more than the opinion of the world.

And 60 percent of that 80 percent think that the United States owns and operates ALL the ports.

"The issue is national security not politics...

No, if the issue was national security, we wouldn't be having this conversation. We are having this conversation because politics dictates to congress people who aren't looking out for our National security, but they are looking out for their elecions.

Instead of doing the right thing, they are pandering. And it's why the Founders had the foresight to put the power of foreign policy with the executive branch.

That the current congress is trying to change this balance of power, disgusts me.

[Junior_G]

Call me when you win an election.

That's what it all boils down to for you folks, isn't it? No principle matters other than "winning".

[Howlin]

I see you all finally found that logo you've been looking for to represent your attitude toward this deal.'

Thanks for sharing.

[Howlin]

I'm willing to BET I've seen people on this forum that know more than you know and I'll take their word over yours.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Well, at least I'm somewhat original, unlike some people here.

*cough*

[TigersEye]

It's their Union Seal.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Evidently not.

[Howlin]

That's what it all boils down to for you folks, isn't it?

Here's a clue for you, bub.

If WE hadn't worked our butts off to WIN these past two elections, the Democrats would be making these deals for the United States.

And, yeah, that IS what it's about, unless you really do agree with Chuck Schumer and Hillary.

[lawdog]

I don't need to feel vindicated...my concern regarding the UAE and their managing terminals located in U.S. ports is based on national security...

[ARealMothersSonForever]

Congress just made a thousand problems for US.

That is the neat thing about America. We elect representatives, and they respond to our letters and e-mail. If you mean that congress just made a thousand problems for globalist appeasers, just hide and watch what happens when they take up immigration. Your little Gold-card amnesty program will go down in flames. You will still be welcome under the big tent. 62 to 2. Ponder that for a little while.

I'm willing to BET I've seen people on this forum that know more than you know and I'll take their word over yours.

I know one who spent 30 years in the Coast Guard.

[TigersEye]

You're about as original as mud on shoe bottoms.
