Dems: Stop Port Sale While Jihadists Call Toledo

This has to be one of the best examples Democratic hypocrisy It has to be the most (may I say it?) asinine things I have seen in sometime. I agree with Expose the Left when he admitted he didn’t know too much about the topic.

At first I was strongly opposed to the sale, however now I am open to both sides. First of all, the fact that Chuck Schumer is against the sale, should be a signal that the other side needs to be checked out. Since when do Democrats care about our national security?

I am also not totally against the sale. For one we seem to be dependent on foreign businesses to run our ports. I am also willing to encourage US businesses to be able to handle the work. But I am looking at something bigger than what company owns the responsibility of loading and unloading. Remember that US still owns the ports and it is still subject to US law and inspection.

Why are the Dems so eager to embrace the ‘National Security’? This is the perfect opportunity for Republicans to pounce on their hypocrisy. Just yesterday the news broke about 3 jihadists training not in Iraq but Toledo, OH. While a business that runs the ports has an interest to make sure they make money you have to wonder at what are the Dems trying to protect. Why attack a program that tracks incoming calls from suspected terrorists just because an American might be on the other end? In fact the calls being monitored could have easily included the Toledo terrorists who also happen to be ‘good’ American citizens being protected by the Democrats.

Though I share Wizbang’s concern that Carter supports it also, I would like the Republicans to get off the Democrats bandwagon and challenge them on the issue. What would they suggest we do with the high treason committed here on our soil that we know about? Well? Answer the question. Will they want them before a firing squad or will the Dems be sending lawyers like the did for Saddam?

I am waiting for their answer but I guess it best if I don’t hold my breath.

Update: I love the article about this from Atlas Shrugs… must read.
