Making a Stand on......

....What?

That's what I want to know. Exactly why is President Bush deciding to take a stand and even threatening to use the v-word "VETO" on the issue of allowing a nationalized Arabic company to control significant east coast ports? He doesn't take a stand on out of control government spending. He doesn't take a stand on increased federal influence in education. He doesn't take a stand on illegal aliens streaming across our borders. But he decides, according to current media accounts, that he is willing to use his first veto as president to make sure that this deal goes through. Is he standing on principle? If so please tell me which principle. Free Trade? Bah! What, freely trading our security over to foreign countries? That principle?

"Well your just an Islamophobe. You don't care that a British company is currently in control of those ports."

As if all foreign countries are equal. You're damn right I don't care if the Brits control the ports. If there is one country in the whole world I do trust it's Great Britain. Those ties are blood thick. Remember, it wasn't 4 Englishmen, 2 Scots and an Irishman who took out the World Trade Center Towers. A Welshman is not hiding in the hills of Wales threatening the entirety of Western Civilization with his fascist agenda of violence. All of those people were and are Arabic Islamic Fundamentalists. They are a threat to unalienable rights of freedom and liberty and to hand over control of some of our ports to a nation that, at any point, could be sympathic to their cause is suicidal.

And any President who thinks that it's a good idea has, at the very least, has lost his focus. And at worst.... is not worth mentioning.
