And Now Comes The Media Hysteria

If you you read the latest headlines regarding the U.A.E. taking over U.S. ports, you would think that the U.S, is handing over total control to terrorists. I find this laughable because foreign entities have been in control of many different U.S. interests on U.S. soil for years. All of this hullabaloo actually boils down to two things: hypocrisy and political gamesmanship.

The media quickly jumps at the chance to portray the Bush Administration as bigots with a bunch of Uncle Toms for show, racists who don't care about Blacks in Louisiana, criminal wiretappers, Islamic torturers and so on. Yet the most obvious and blatant display of xenophobia and racism comes exactly from that same media.
They have jumped on the "Muslims can't be trusted bandwagon," which coincidentally is not a Republican platform.

The U.S. ports in question have, for at least the last ten years, been run by a British company. Now the U.A.E. government recently purchased that same company along with all of its existing contracts, including management of those ports. Now all of a sudden, this same foreign company shouldn't be allowed to operate our ports because the ownership changed?

We have been preached to over and over again that Iraq was not responsible for any involvement in the 9/11 attacks and that we shouldn't be there, but a country that is only guilty of having the banks that the terrorist kept their money is going to be coined unworthy of these contracts only because of thier race?

Bull! I quote "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer," because if the U.A.E. has any involvement in terrorism, we will cetainly have more influence over them if we control a few of their pursestrings than if we gave them the boot! Pushing them away will only push them further into the sphere of the fundamentalist Islamics.

Hypocritical Hysteria

Isn't it funny that the mainstream media can so easily denegrate and criticize fundamentalist evangelical Christians but are scared to death of fundamentalist radical Muslims? With the recent cartoon snafu in Europe dominating the European press, the American media has chosen to carefully avoid attracting the ire of radical Islam by "being sensitive to the Islamic faith" and not running the cartoons.

Hell, they are so proud to show off the gentle Christ in crap and urine and they refuse to print or display the very subject, http://cryptome.org/muhammud.htm, of the news that is occuring in Europe. So until radical Christians start blowing up newsrooms, Christianity is an open target? This is ludicrous. Christianity may have and still have its nuts and wackos, but it is basically a gentle but stringent faith that rebuffs violence today.

But it is the violent and abhorrent misguided religion that is getting respect and sensitivity? Just goes to show that the American media and Left are truly spineless.
