Democrats Check the Wind

I believe that this port-of-entry debate is a good thing - President Bush has decided that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) should have the right to bid on this contract. They are our allies and have shown to be trustworthy. But because they are from the middle east and a Muslim country, they must get special scrutiny.

The opposition, believe it or not, is mostly Democrats and a few Republicans. Two days ago the Democrats were screaming that we weren't treating the Arabs with respect. Al Gore gave a speech in Saudi Arabia that focused on our prisoner of war camps and how America was mis- treating Muslims in general. The thrust of his speech was about how America is the real threat to world piece. The former Vice President of the United States, a liberal Democrat, told his audience, in Saudi Arabia, America is a horrible place. What a patriot!

Now it seems the liberal camp is protesting that the Arabs shouldn't have any control of our ports as they are the enemy and shouldn't be trusted with such important American security interests.

I have to go with President Bush on this one. He has been the driving force behind the war on terror for the last 5 years and should have the most insight on what is a security risk and what isn't. He has information from so many different sources on which to base his decision, it only makes sense that he has the final word. Also, no matter what he would have said, it would have been the wrong according to the angry left.

All the Democrats had to do was see which side of the situation the President came down on, and then take the opposite tack to make it a story. The hypocrisy of the liberal stand isn't lost on anyone that will take a few moments to understand where the Democrats are coming from.

How long ago was it that they were demanding an investigation into the NSA intercepts on the incoming calls from countries that have shown to have connections to known terrorist in this country. Then leaking top secret information to the New York Times, known for it's bias against the President, in an effort to destroy the intercept operation which would aid the Muslims in their efforts to enter this country. Nothing new here.

Now the Democrats are demanding that we have to stop the Muslims from getting control of our ports as they are a threat to our security. Which is it? Can they have it both ways? They want us to stop snooping on the Arabs on the one hand, but then two days later, the Arabs are our enemy. The puppet masters really have the Democrats dancing to their tune.

This is nothing new for the liberal left and the Democrats, switching agendas in the middle of a tirade is just another tactic employed to show how they can be out front on any subject, no matter what it is. They are now on the cutting edge of national security. How can you care about security for a country that you hate.

Ever since 9/11, the Democrats have fought the President on every single move he made to try and defend this country. The Democrats have displayed their hateful rhetoric for this country on numerous occasions, even from the floor of the United State Senate. They hide nothing.

The liberal agenda has always been defeat for America. No matter what they say today or tomorrow, that agenda has not changed.
