I'd also add that there is a price to be paid for bad behavior. Again something Limbaugh used to preach to us and frankly I resent the change of tune he's recently adapted to please the administration.
It's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Americans don't like the notion of rioting mobs. Most of us have not forgotten 9-11 nor should we. Add a mish-mash of head chopping, electing terrorist groups to head the government and may I add a total lack of impetus for the so-called "moderate Muslims" to condemn such behavior. Throw Al-Jazeera in there for good measure.
For the pundits to act like we're all idiots and are suddenly supposed to develop amnesia about this is insulting, frankly.
Which does not mean that I am against this deal. I would sure like to learn more about it and by me the administration blew it by dropping this bombshell on us without considering the shock.
The Middle Class runs this country. It's the middle class that's reacting viscerally to this whole matter and a bunch of congress critters are getting a lot of email and phone calls. Most Muslim countries don't even have a burgeoning middle class but that's another matter.
The behavior of Muslims across this planet, at least the ones we see and hear on a regular basis, has been abominable. Perhaps the poobahs orchestrating the riots and financing the terrorists need to get the message.
For if all people see is bad behavior than the choice is not to associate. How many of us willingly socialize with drunken louts if there's an alternative? Let the Islamfacists learn that no matter how that congress critter, even the president, looks them in the eye and makes promises, it's the American reaction to their behavior that closes the deal.
Now on to some quotables from those who are "smarter" than us idiots who carry this country on our backs.
The President Didn't Know?
Every time something big happens in this country we hear that the President didn't know. He didn't know about Katrina. He didn't know about Cheney's shooting. Now he didn't know about the port deal.
Can't they find someone in the White House whose job it would be is to regularly inform the President on current events? If they don't have anyone yet qualified for the job, I'll do it.

"Again something Limbaugh used to preach to us and frankly I resent the change of tune he's recently adapted to please the administration."
May I suggest that Limbaugh is NOT a man to follow. He is nothing more than a noisy self-promoter who has found a (temporary) stage among the extreme rightwing. Were it to pay more he would be equally vociferous for the leftwing. He has no principles.
Part of our discomfiture with the Dubai Ports deal is that we all KNOW that our ports are not properly regulated for security. they are wide open, per an ideological belief of our leadership. It really makes no difference whether a US or Bubai outfit runs the ports: either one would sell US security for the right dollars. What we need are strong security regs, inspections and requirements no matter who has the management contract. But I fear this is anathema to our rulers.
