Oh I probably don't know as many facts as you do, but I know a couple of facts...And one fact I know is that the muzlims are robbing us blind with the cost of crude oil...And with the money they're shaking us down for, they're using it to buy up what's left of any industry in the U.S...
Another fact I know is that muzlims are fanatically religious and their religious book says to defeat infidels (that's us) any way they can even if they have to murder us, our wives and children included...
I was just as outraged when the Chinese took over ports in Calif. and when our gov't gave the Panama Canal to the Chinese...
I rarely watch tv and I don't get the local newspaper...If it wasn't for FR, I probably wouldn't know who Shumer is...So he doesn't get any credit for swaying me or probably anyone else...
But then I have to ask you, who convinced you that this is a good move for American citizens???
No they aren't. The companies being acquired are British companies with U.S. subsidiaries.
I'm not even going to attempt to explain supply and demand in the oil market.
That might be true if the only place we got oil was from the Middle East. But the top two oil importers to this country are Mexico and Canada. In fact, of the top 10 oil importers to this country, only two are Muslim countries. And NOBODY is forcing us to buy oil from anyone. Meanwhile, the world demand for oil is skyrocketing while the supply stays essentially the same. That is despite the fact that we have billions of barrels of untapped oil just off our shores. So once again, you are letting your emotions take the place of facts, and that sets you up for easy MSM manipulation.
"Another fact I know is that muzlims are fanatically religious and their religious book says to defeat infidels (that's us) any way they can even if they have to murder us, our wives and children included..."
Well, that is true. But is has been true for 600 years. They can't even manage that in their own countries. The fact is, most Arab states are in the midst of very radical reforms taking them further away from radical Islam. The only places radical Islamists are finding success are in third world *$&@holes where the people have no reason to live anyway. I don't know about you, but they don't scare me.
"But then I have to ask you, who convinced you that this is a good move for American citizens???"
It is part of the free market. That is the best part of how our system works. No American group of investors was interested in buying Doncaster Inc. Do you suppose the federal government should have forced some American company to buy them out? That isn't how this country works. Nor should it be. American's employed in the factories involved will continue to work doing exactly the same thing they did before the deal was approved. It has ZERO impact on our national security or sovereignty despite the emotional rants you might read on FR.
I applaud your decision to ignore the MSM. But that doesn't absolve you from learning the facts in some other way. If you launch into an emotional rant on some topic without first arming yourself with the facts, you do absolutely nothing useful except burn a few calories and feed a fire that doesn't really care what it's burning.
