BDS [Bush Derangement Syndrome] On the Right (Paleocons, and the like)

Thank you for demonstrating the symptoms of BDS.

Congress responds to the 83%-17% poll where the public gives overwhelming thumbs down to the port deal. They are there to represent the people, this is our country and we get represented there by our Representatives. That is the American way, and you should be proud.

Unions and government regulations have made it impossible for US shipping companies to stay in business,

Applies to all industries, not just shipping.

You have to be a fool to operate any business with a domestic headquarters. If you want to do business in America today you had better be a lawyer, or run an operation staffed by untraceable illegals. Otherwise you locate overseas and import your product.

I am watching my second career evaporate daily as we loose nearly every bid to companies that use illegal labor; meanwhile everyone who gets a hangnail on the job hires a lawyer and sues the piss out of the owners.

Is there an antidote for this disease? Because I've seen quite enough of it around here.

I have always believed that people who don't recognize character, are lacking it themselves.

In reading some of the horrific attacks on the President from so-called conservatives on this board, the fair assumption is that they just can't grasp what it is to have the kind of consistent, Christ-centered character that our President exhibits every day.

PRAY for him! He is being attacked by the Enemy.

Au contraire..........Congress reacted to pressure from the left and the media, and hysteria caused by the lies the American people were told by both.

The Republicans in Congress should have LED with facts and reason. Instead they panicked and ran. Shameful behavior. Shameful.

Congress responds to the 83%-17% poll where the public gives overwhelming thumbs down to the port deal.

And all based on a big lie of "the UAE is taking over 6 US ports".

Let me ask you a question, was the mantra of "the UAE is taking over 6 US ports" a lie or not to you.

If it isn't, I got boatloads of information to show you that your mantra was a lie.

[Soul Seeker]

The public also admitted they didn't have damn clue of any of the details, how our ports were run, and basically had no basis to formulate an opinion to begin with.

Why should anyone be proud a public that ADMITTED it was uninformed when polled, and gave an opinion anyway, was listened to? Why should anyone be proud legislators, who's job is partially to impart the FACTS to their constituents, were too gutless to do so? IF, THEN, the public knowledgeable on the deal STILL decides against? yeah, represent your constituency. But don't ask us to be proud they represented admitted ignorance. On their part and on our part of their constituents.

Great post and I fully agree.

Ronald Reagan may have been the best President we've had in my lifetime, but he wasn't perfect.

Remember pulling the Marines out of Lebanon after the barracks bombing?

Remember signing the tax increases in, what was it, 1983?

Remember the Catastrophic Medicare Insurance Bill?

Remember the Deficits of the 80's?

Remember the Illegal Aliens Amnesty program? I mention these not to be critical of Reagan, but to point out in many ways the second Bush is probably due the same criticisms and praise. In the middle of the Hillary administration we'll wish we had someone like Bush.

Dang! I was just getting ready to blast that troll on post #11, but he's been banned already! LOL

[Matchett-PI]

bttt for those accurate remarks!

[COEXERJ145]

Good, glad he is gone.

Trolls like that are easy to spot. No matter how long they've been around, they expose themselves as soon as they start posting the kinds of crap that fills DU, Libertypost and Clownposse.

[ohioWfan]

Don't you hate when that happens? LOL!

btw.......interesting that the troll was saying the exact same thing as many of our 'conservative' freepers, eh?

I truly wonder why they aren't ashamed of the fact that they are in perfect alignment with the left on this one?

"His appointments, for the most part have been lackluster and mediocre. "

Didn't need to go further than this to know you don't have a clue

"The far left and far right are natural allies." -Pat Buchanan

Might not be 100% word for word but close enough.

[ohioWfan]

It's that old circle thing. You go far enough around the circle to the right, and you meet up with the left.

They may have different reasons for what they think, but they think in lockstep with the left..........especially about this President. And I find that rather frightening.

[onyx]

LOL! Me too, and then I decided to first read ALL of the comments!

[onyx]

That's true, but some fly just under the radar. Stir the pot, under the pretense they're the "real conservatives."

Exactly.
