Since Jim agrees with Ann Coulter, I thought I would put some of her column up here...
I just know when Jim and Ron read her words and agree, they will have to take 4 or 5 showers.
But Bush is going to need a better justification for turning over management of our ports to an Arab country than he's come up with so far
Bush's defense of the port deal is to say that "those who are questioning it" need to "step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a Great British company."
First of all, it's not "all of a sudden." The phrase you're searching for, Mr. President, is "ever since the murderous attacks of Sept. 11." The Bush administration's obstinate refusal to profile Middle Easterners has been the one massive gaping hole in national security since the 9/11 attacks  attacks that received indirect support from the United Arab Emirates.
There are at least 3,000 reasons why a company controlled by a Middle Eastern Muslim emirate should be held to a different standard than a British company. Many of these reasons are now buried under a gaping hole that isn't metaphorical in lower Manhattan.
President Bush has painted himself into a corner on this issue, and he needs a face-saving compromise to get out of it. Here's my proposal: Let Harriet Miers run the ports.
The Bush administration defended Muslims rioting over cartoons, saying, "We certainly understand why Muslims would find these images offensive." Hey, while they're at it, why don't they invite some Muslim leaders with well-known ties to terrorism to the White House for a reception? Oh wait, I forgot ... They did that right after 9/11. Yes, now I see why we must turn over our ports to the United Arab Emirates.
Needless to say, the Treason Times won't show the cartoons that have incited mass rioting around the globe. At least The New York Times has a good excuse: It's too busy printing national security secrets that will get Americans killed. Its pages are already brimming with classified information about our techniques for spying on terrorists here in America  no room for newsworthy cartoons! The Pentagon Papers and a top-secret surveillance program are one thing; cartoons that irritate Muslims are quite another.
Taking to heart the lesson that violence works, I hereby announce to the world: I am offended by hotel windows that don't open, pilots chattering when the passengers are trying to sleep, and Garfield cartoons. Next time my sleep is disturbed by gibberish about our altitude over Kansas, the National Pilots Emirate embassy is going down. And mark my words: One minute after "Garfield II" goes into pre-production, some heads are gonna roll. Oh  and I'll take the San Diego port, please.
It is nice to see that conservatives can have discussions about issues. Even though people like Jim and Ron constantly say that we all simply listen to Rush and Sean (which means they don't listen to them)....there are many issues we have discussed...Miers, border security, spending, abortion, ect...and now this.
I was trying to think of something that liberals have argumentsnts about, and the only thing I could come up with was how loud and often to say they hate GWB. Some liberals want to yell only a few times a day, while others want to yell on the hour....I think that is the only issue there is big discussion on.
It is ironic that the Right has debates on things....since it is the Left that says we only read talking points and say whatever Bush says....
Well, here is another example to prove you guys wrong....in five minutes after they read this they will have forgotten yet another fact to prove them wrong...and the next time something comes up they will once again go back to their 1972 playbook and say we always support the president because we are dumb stupid redneck Republicans.
It takes a refined, intellectual giant on the Left to conjure up thoughts of genius...funny how they all think the same thing?

You are so far out in right field no one is ever going to find you!
First, I don't care what Coulter has to say. She is a clown. I take her as seriously as I take Ronald McDonald.
Please name two things other than Harriet Miers, border security, and this port deal that you have ever questioned Bush's wisdom about.
I listen to Rush and Sean every day. I need a dose of bull crap every 8 hours.
On the one hand you say that Democrats never debate among themselves and then you complain that they have no common voice. You are trying to have it both ways.
The Democrats obviously have a variety of views. Reid is "pro-life". Hillary is for a flag burning amendment. Lieberman is a fan of Bush's foreign policy. These and many other issues are debated among Democrats.
I have never, ever heard a Democrat say they "hate" GWB. They hate his policies and is incompetent croney appointees. Dems "hating" Bush is a Republic talking point like "angry" Democrats. We might even respect him some if he were a CONSERVATIVE. But he's not. And you know he's not.
And who do you listen to or read? Besides Rush, Sean, NewsMax, and FOX? Who?
where do I say they don't have a common voice? they all say the same thing...
People all over Bush on:
1. spending
2. border security
3. not agressive enough in Iraq
4. Appeasing liberals like Kennedy on education bill.
5. Miers
these are things the entire party debates...
I knew you would put up some lame crap that no one cares about or debates...
And you talking about Lieberman is making my point...he was attacked almost as bad as GWB when he said he agreed with the Pres. on someparts of Iraq...
You putting Reid on there as pro life, as if that is comperable to an entire party debating something really makes you look pathetic...
If you believe there is a debate about abortion in the Democratic party you need to either stop using drugs or use more of them
Royal Caribbean Incorporated in Liberia - Is that safer than United Arab Emirates?
Only 17% of Americans believe that control of 6 major American ports should be given to the United Arab Emirates. Perhaps Americans should think twice before becoming sharholders or customers of Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines (RCCL) since they are incorporated in Liberia and controlled by families form Norway and a partnership in the Bahamas. Would you entrust the safety and security of your loved ones to a Liberian Corporation?
The folowing statements appear in the Form 10-K filed by RCCL with the Security and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2006:
We are not a United States corporation and our shareholders may be subject to the uncertainties of a foreign legal system in protecting their interests.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and by the Business Corporation Act of Liberia. The provisions of the Business Corporation Act of Liberia resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States. However, while most states have a fairly well developed body of case law interpreting their respective corporate statutes, there are very few judicial cases in Liberia interpreting the Business Corporation Act of Liberia. For example, the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under Liberian law are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in certain United States jurisdictions. Thus, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests with respect to actions by management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a United States jurisdiction.
We are controlled by principal shareholders that have the power to determine our policies, management and actions requiring shareholder approval.
As of February 10, 2006, A. Wilhelmsen AS., a Norwegian corporation indirectly owned by members of the Wilhelmsen family of Norway, owned approximately 20.4% of our common stock and Cruise Associates, a Bahamian general partnership indirectly owned by various trusts primarily for the benefit of certain members of the Pritzker family and various trusts primarily for the benefit of certain members of the Ofer family, owned approximately 15.8% of our common stock
Have YOU criticized Bush on spending? On not being aggressive enough in Iraq? What's the education bill about?
And again, what ARE your news/information sources?
Hell yeah!!!!
Bush spends too much, he tries to cater to liberals like you...
We should have taken six months and really beat the crap out of all the terrorists...we shouuld have not went to the UN so many times...that is the time all the "insurgants" came in and the WMD's went out.
You have not YET given me an issue the Democratic PARTY debates on...there is none...
I read:
drudge
milwaukee journal sentinel
NYT
newsmax
scientific journals that you don't know about
czabe.com
mynews
many blogs...most on the right but a few on the Left
honolulu advertiser
ann coulter once a month
most of the links off the drudge report are from liberal sources like the NYT, Wash Post, ect...
That was not the point of the post, however, but I can understand why you would try to change the subject....
When and how did/does Bush try to cater to liberals?
Your claim about the UN and the insurgents/terrorists is incorrect and goes against logic. There were no insurgents in Iraq prior to the invasion. Insurgents are those "rising in revolt against established authority, especially a government." If there were insurgents in Iraq prior to the invasion, they would have been revolting against Saddam and we should have supported them, right? There were no terrorist activities in Iraq prior to the invastion either. That all occurred post invasion. The insurgency arose only after the invasion when Iraqis realized that there were not enough invading troops to maintain order and security or to prevent chaos.
Every claim that the WMDs were moved has been debunked. Every one of them.
Since all of my examples of debate within the Democratic party are lame according to you, what exactly do YOU want them to debate about? If there is nothing that satisfies your requirements, maybe it's because the Democrats have similar goals, if differing views, and are not conflicted between their misplaced loyalty for a cult leader in the White House and their realization that his failed policies and low approvals may cost them in the coming elections.
pretty good spin on the debate issue jim...
Anyway...all the "insurgence" are not people from Iraq...they are from other countries...pretty much every report from anyone there says that...
So the media is (on purpose) using the wrong word...
And how do we know the WMD's were not smuggled out? The whole world thought they were there and were wrong...the simple fact is that we don't know...
Same with terorist activity...you don't know...there could have been training camps...this conversation is all speculation.
