Words Like Locusts Flew From Her Fingers

Who Owns Us?

Taste of the Future
Let’s rashly assume that Bill Frist and Dennis Hastert, the Republican Senate and House leaders, are serious in their expressions of concern about foreign ownership of American assets. What they should do right now is begin changing the fiscal policies that are transforming the United States into a ward of the world.

EXACTLY.

This is what I was talking about earlier in the week. It’s crazy that another country — ANY other country — should own any of our ports. For Pete’s sake! They’re OUR PORTS. It would be like your next door neighbor owning the front door to your house. Oh sure, he keeps it painted and in good repair and he’s never given you any problems about you coming and going at all hours. But, still… he OWNS it. He can sell it if he wants, maybe to someone who insists on painting it a color you hate. And don’t even think about what could happen if he should get really pissed off at you for some reason! No — it’s craziness. The United States should own and manage its own ports.
