[quote="mikehendo";p="609957"]same typing styles, same stupid logic, and you are both so anti-Arab that the stupid in your posts is almost too embarassing to read. great comeback by the way.. going back to the discussion at hand. I find it amazing that the Democrats are throwing ...

[quote="mikehendo";p="609877"]FYI to those of you who care: labtech and Egon are one in the same person.. Which means he just broke one of the major rules of the forums.. Don't create multiple accounts.. Too bad, soo sad..[/quote]


LOL... no... we're not.

Again, protecting the President when I wasn't even bashing him... blind allegiance is so sweet. The very fact that you think I'm attacking the President and not attacking the problem at hand indicates that you have no idea of what I am talking about. This is not a "Dubya" problem. This is ...

[quote="mikehendo";p="609517"]umm Egon, Britian no longer has any say in China. They gave up ownership of HongKong almost 10 years ago now.. Either way, this better get pushed through, or it will just reenforce the idea that americans are racist against people from that region..[...

[quote="Kyros";p="609509"]This whole thing is kind of confusing for me. Why do I care if an Arab country owns a port? Whoopdeedoo, the workers are still Americans, the security is still run by Americans, no one's getting laid off or anything. So why all the huff and puff? I can s...

LOL @ Deacon. Distort everything in order to support this President regardless of the truth. If I had been knee-jerking, I would have posted this over the weekend. But I've taken my time on reading up on this. I knew nothing about our ports before all this, admittedly... which is why I was floored w...

[quote="Bigity";p="609322"]I thought the UAE was pretty much solidly on our side. Who said nobody would be vigilant? There are many situations were foreign companies assist or even manage parts of security sensitive contracts, and there is oversight to ensure nothing amiss occurs...

[quote="Bigity";p="609312"]What's the really big deal about this? I'm not sure I'm all that hot for it, but it's not like UAE would be sending Arab workers over here. It's still US workers, and US managers for the most part. Depending on how it works, I wouldn't have too much of ...

[quote="Deacon";p="609006"]What, so now Arabs are not to be trusted? Racist! :P Personally, I think it may have something to do with the UAE's double-take when 9/11 happened and change in direction to be cooperative with and supportive of the US, in addition to them housing one o...

It's been awhile since I've posted, so "howdy" to all ya'll! http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/21/port.security/index.html?section=cnn_topstories Does anyone else feel a little sick to their stomach about this story? Why is the prez so adamant about allowing a UAE-based company have cont...

[quote="Martin Blank";p="539476"]The federal government is probably limited in martial law declarations. However, martial law was declared in New Orleans. The police have been told not to worry about civil rights or Miranda rights, but to just get order back in place.[/quote] Tha...

[quote="Phoenix Talon";p="539138"]What AzraeL, plus: [quote="Egon";p="539118"]So, c'mon Bush, flex your military muscles[/quote] What do you think Iraq is about? It's Flexing the military muscle of the United States. Besides that, there are not as many gaurds ...

Why has the government not declared full martial law in New Orleans yet? Is this a politically correct stance by the government? Is this just another example of our government becoming so "feminized" that they won't act when needed? The military should go into New Orleans and shoot, on sit...

[quote="Bigity";p="420970"][quote="Egon";p="420349"] Even those of us who see Bush (and friends) for what he really is [/quote] That seems like a pretty straightforward reference to a supposed conspiracy to me. [/quote] Nothing conspiracy related there. A cons...

[quote="Bigity";p="420501"]So..you denounce the idea of a liberal conspiracy while stating your belief in a conservative conspiracy?[/quote] I never once talked about any schemes hatched by conservatives. I denounce the idea of conspiracies in general. The only real conspiracy in...
