Sometimes I'm just amazed at how dense our leaders are. Bush actually thought this would fly?
The problem is simple, most non-brain dead Amaricans realize Islam is our enemy and any country that hosts them/supports them is a HUGE problem. This means Saudi as well. The last thing Americans want is to give ANY middle eastern nation (Israel exception) access to our country in any way, shape or form.
Wake up.....
MNJohnnie, I'll save you the trouble.
"The people who ACTUALLY know the facts like DHS etc are being laughed at or ignored so supposedly "Conservatives" can gleefully push Democrat Election Campaign propaganda. Simply amazing how willfully ignorant some "Conservatives" are about how the Junk Journalists lie to them. Just like Flush the Koran, Rather Gate, Fitzmus, Downing Street Memo and dozens and dozens of other LIES manufactured by the DNC and fed to the Failed Media, THIS story is a LIE."
This is VERY dense. But you nothing surprises me because inside the Beltway people live in a different world from everybody else, where they can be insulated on issues like this one.
Time to put a halt to H1 visas.
We have hundreds of thousands from the Middle East come here on J and H visas and eventually stay illegally.
Europe got into trouble this way.
Boy I'm glad this post finally got Breaking News on FreeRepublic.
Because one day I'm simply living my life and the next day some Arab country is taking over my country's ports. And as wise as I am, I know nothing about it.
What has to happen here is for the administration to step up to the podium and explain what this is all about.
As an aside, this is the first time I think I've heard Chuck Schumer utter something close to the truth. For I truly believe his constituents don't like the idea. Same with Maryland's Ehrlich. This whole idea just strikes Americans as not right.
Add to the mix the cartoon riots we've seen across the planet and, duh, Americans don't want these people in this country. They're uncivilized for God's sakes.
The mullah poobahs inciting these riots that they may keep control of their oil wealth need to realize there's a price to pay for this poor public relations. Like, duh, civilized people don't like what they see.
And if you'd argue that the UAE is more civilized than say, Iran, well maybe the money laundering capital of the Arab world needs too to get out and about and condemning this radical Islamfacist behavior.
Americans, and in this case I refer to the broad Middle Class, don't like this idea at all and the politicos are, in this case, rising to the call. I'm from Baltimore, worked in Baltimore and the notion makes me uneasy.
That's the problem, we're uneasy about this. And when the Middle Class gets uneasy, well hey, WE'RE the ones that get them elected. We're the ones that, despite incredible pressure from across the planet and gazillions of dollars poured into his opponent's campaign, STILL re-elected Bush.
Rush is pushing this thing but for now, I trust my gut. Let the President convince me otherwise.
I'll listen.
Israel is not an exception nor should any other country, Middle Eastern, Asian, European, South American or Martian.
U.S. ports are United States ports.
