HEY, JUNIOR! You can't have it both ways

I really hate to write yet another post on the Dubai Ports World silliness, but I simply must.

This simple act may keep my head from exploding.

George Bush and company simply can't have it both ways.

They can't have Osama-in-the-box, popping up at all the right moments; like right before the 2004 elections and right when Junior was about to be hung on the Capital Lawn for wire-tapping Americans (probably members of congress, both parties, a number of reporter types and a whole bunch of activists, dissenters and other "Patchouli-stinking, hippie, traitor, pinko types.) AND slip through a deal with the UAE to manage 6 of our major ports.

Especially when that deal is described as not being important enough to rise to the level of the president.

WHAT?

Did I hear that right? (Why is it that every time a Republican is in the White House, I feel as though I am on something; like a bad batch of LSD?)

Pardon me!

A deal with the country where Osama and Mullah Omar laundered their money, even as our troops swept toward Kabul, did not rise to the level of the president? Didn't want to intrude on one of his biking outings, I assume, and with good reason. When anything rises to the level of the President, he gets that well known "My Pet Goat" expression on his face and it's all over, eh?

Does anmything rise to the level of the president, or is he so far out there that nothing reaches him? I mean, his V.P. shot someone in the face, but Junior was in the dark about it for hours. What is it with this White House management style?

Junior, you are the one who has used fear and the threat of terrorism for years now, against your own people. Your entire administration has done the same thing.

Now, we are all called paranoid and racist because we question whether or not you have lost your mind.

Hell, the GOP battle cry since the election of 2002 has been, "WET YOUR PANTS AND VOTE FOR US!" You would have us believe that you and your dim-witted administration are the only peoploe on earth that can keep us safe from those "swarthy Arab types." (God help us if that is the case!)

If the American people are paranoid, you have only yourselves to blame. I can't and won't blame you or your administration for American racism, but the Republican Party, including your owm administration sure haven't ever helped matters any.

From Nixon's "southern strategy" until this very day, there has always been a nastiness in this country when Republicans are in charge of it.

Your administration, Junior, has spent the past 4 years and counting demonizing Arabs and Muslims, in general, albeit in a very sneaky fashion. Nevertheless, it has worked.

It has worked so well, that you may have a wee bit of trouble carrying on your family's long-standing personal and business relationships with the Oil Royalty of the Arab Penninsula.

You simply cannot demonize an entire race of people and then decide that you want to turn our ports over to them. See how that works?

Junior, your first real job should definitely not have been leader of the free world!
