To assist you in getting a more ground-level understanding of the transaction.
It is amazing.
"This was all very confusing to me."
The explanation is that everything that the Bush Administration does that the Democrats and the MSM can try to whip into a 'scandal' is wrong. Neither group has the slightest concern about consistency or what they said yesterday. I'm inclined to question Bush's actions in this matter, but if that puts me on the same side as the NYT and Hillary, I may have to reconsider.
LOL.
The Bushbots are zooming on overdrive to frame any opposition or hesitancy as a "Democrat" issue. Pulling out the race card like they do over anti-illegal immigration arguments. Plus overuse of the "Hillary" deflection.
Marg bar Hillary! Marg Bar Hillary!
LOL.
This article provided more factual information about the operation of ports and the role of the british company that is being acquired by a Dubai company, contrary to the hysterics that have been displayed by both sides of the issue, and yet it is "bushbot" framing of the opposition.
So far, my biggest concern about this transaction in light of everything I have heard about it is that Jimmy Carter thinks it is a good idea. That alone is cause for serious concern that it is bad for America.
Many Arabs in this country are actually Christians. Nobody claims they are a threat, n or are they objectionable in any discernible way. In fact, most of them are fleeing from their Muslim countrymen.
It's Muslims who are the problem, and many of them are not Arab!
Race-baiting does not reflect on Republicans any better than it does on the Democrats.
At the top of the hour, Rush seemed to be making speculative but interesting points suggesting that the Democrats outrage over this might be a smokescreen, provoked by the notion that this Dubai company is set to modernize shipping, thereby threatening union jobs.
I only heard a few snatches as I was in the car driving my son to preschool, but it was definitely food for thought.
You need this for your tagline space: ™

It's a cultural thing the Dems are upset about.
I don't think Arabs understand American unions.- Tom
This is a nice summary of my reaction to all of this.
Any culture that can deal with the concept of Inshallah can deal with longshoremen doing their jobs when the break is over and they get around to it.
A major in the Army who had spent a lot of time in the Mid-East told me that "Inshallah" means about the same as the Spanish word "manyana", but without manyana's sense of urgency.
is the Port of Philadelphia going to be controlled by Arabs as has been stated by the media, some Democrats,and some Republicans?
Yes or no?
LOL
To many Spanish speaking people manana means tomorrow.
In Mexico it means "not now",without any indication of when it will occur,if ever. - tom
Who is the author of this piece?
I am - Michael P. Tremoglie. It is supposed to be published in the Philadelphia Daily News on Friday. It was also published by another website today.
Obviously I made two mistakes when I posted this. I omitted my name and gave the Daily News source in advance.
Anyway to correct this?
