Isn't this our "New Pearl Harbor"?
The Neocon's had theirs on 9/11/01. Selling our ports to those wonderful people who brought us our 9/11 must be ours.

1. One comment I saw
It said this selling of our ports would be akin to selling Pearl Harbor to the Japanese after December 7th.

Good Analogy.

5. Yeah, lulled to sleep by a colluding media and by Dems lameness.
As long as they govern as the minority and not the opposition, things won't change much for the better, I'm afraid.

4. You should write a policy paper
Then get into power, and see what happens. Sure, it might be a conspiracy, but nobody would care. Hell, you could go on networks, basically advertise everything you've written, and still nobody would read it.

6. Now that you mention it,
defeatism is an option. Hey! I live in a state that permits physician assisted suicide. Maybe all of us despondent Dems can negotiate some kind of volume discount.
