Ports I'd be willing to let the UAE run

San Francisco, Seattle, New York City. Politicians from these cities seem suddenly to be remembering what Al Qaeda did to New York on 9/11 after opposing the Patriot Act vociferously ever since. These are centers of the Bush haters and those who want our military to go out of business. The liberals who represent these areas in Congress are in full cry about the UAE owning the company that runs these and some other ports, not because they really care about national security, but because they see this as a chance to torpedo Republicans. The hypocrisy is sickening.

This sale was approved by bureaucrats following Congressionally mandated procedures, applying the Washington standards of political correctness. Kaboom! The Democrats decide they can win in November by adopting a xenophobic and racist strategy.

Larry Summers has been driven out of Harvard by leftist faculty enforcing political correctness with pitchforks and torches. Maybe he should have denounced Arabs more.

Liberals passed most of our laws against racial and national background discrimination that resulted in the flood of Arabs and other Muslims into this country. They created the atmosphere of stifling healthy concern that allowed the 9/11 terrorists to operate almost freely in this country. NOW, they're concerned about the threat? Are they now willing to recall all the liberal judges they've put on the courts? Beef up the INS and put some teeth into our laws? Don't make me laugh.

I don't think this sale could make our ports any more insecure than they already are. I understand the worry, but it's blatantly race- and religion-based. It's illegal! We're not allowed to use profiling! Somebody tell Hillary!®, Chuck Shumer and Barbara Boxer. Maybe they wish now that their fellow travellers hadn't leaked the existence of the NSA wiretaps to the New York Times. I'm with Jim Geraghty on this.
