Yay let's be racist again...

Pissed off thing of the week: Hillary Clinton and "Chuck" Schumer

Yeah no surprise I am about to say something about two Democrats right? Well not really, this extends beyond just Democrats to many Republicans, the news media and the sheep-like mentality of the many citizens in this country. Listening to NPR on the way to and from work I came to realize that the news media and the two New York Senators have been misleading the public about the true facts with regards to the transaction of the operations in 6 ports from a British company to the company owned by the United Arab Emirates. Comments about this merger border hate crimes and are easily labeled as discriminating and biased. It would seem that Hillary Clinton is not even directly attacking the sale as much as she is trying to run for president by trying to discredit the entire Republican party and current administration. Some of her comments are prefaced with snide remarks about previous decisions. I shall break the points down to make the whole thing easier to follow:

  1. British company wants to sell operations, essentially the equivalent of the control tower at an airport, in 6 ports to Dubai.
  2. United States Coast Guard maintains control of security.
  3. United States Border Protection maintains control of security
Well that seemed easy enough. Now you know why my feelings are so high about this topic. There is no more chance for the UAE to sneak terrorist "stuff" into the country through these ports as do the Chinese, Vietnamese, British, Danish or any of the other companies that control some portion of operations at these ports. Please, stop being racist, biased, and stupid Mrs. Clinton and other congressmen. I was actually happy to hear Sen. Lieberman (D -VT) speak out against the critics pointing out the obvious facts I have stated above. On a plus note the Dubai company has offered to postpone the final transaction until the United States citizens can be satisfied that there is not a security issue. This uproar is a black eye on the American people, especially after the fight to overcome initial anti-muslim feelings from the bombings in 2001. I can only hope that the truth is published more than the hate-mongering and rumor spreading comments of Mrs. Hillary Clinton and Mr. Charles Schumer of NY.
