Lawmakers Claim Numbers to Override Bush Veto on Port Deal
An
Army of Davids, led by bloggers, has raised an outcry against this security nightmare via political correctness. Bush, who is nomally allergic to the use of the veto, is threatening an exception in this case to defeat what he is hinting to be racism. The blogosphere, however, has revealed that the UAE government itself, which owns the ports company, is a
financier of the ideological jihad. They are not professional business partners who should be treated with "fairness." Like the rest of the Muslim world, they are largely a combination of openly jihadi Muslims, "moderate" Muslims who do not yet believe the time is ripe for the future jihad that they dream of, and those paralyzed by fear.
Contrary to Bush's defense that the ownership of the port is irrelevant to security:
company officials would be briefed on security procedures and countermeasures that, if compromised, could allow foreign terrorists to get through various screening procedures....there is no cohesive hiring or screening process for port workers.
Michelle Malkin has an in-depth analysis of the issue.
Bush still hasn't learned
the lesson of the Harriet Miers nomination. The president is a Goliath of power who has learned to adapt his actions to the Goliaths of the leftist elite such as the mainstream media. The left-wing elite loved the Miers nomination as yet another watered-down conservative Supreme Court pick. The Davids of the blogosphere quickly hurled some smooth stones that hit their mark before millions of dollars in Goliathian war chests had time to be spent in her defense.
We Davids have had enough of watered-down conservative Supreme Court nominations. And we have had enough of Homeland Security policies emasculated by political correctness, such as the ban on racial profiling on airplanes.
In my opinion, the title of
this book, by a leading David, will prove to be among the most influential in history. The blogosphere is primarily led by Davids, people who are inspired to enter battles in which they do not have an "official" responsibility, in order to fight some neglected, glaring injustice.
Here is the greatest example so far, a single graphic that largely undid a dirty trick by the leading MSM Goliath on the eve of the last presidential election. The "Army of Davids" title will cause an enormous penny to drop among the great majority of unsung bloggers. The Internet, which permits Davids to work together, has enabled us to start bringing down evil, primarily by exposing the falsehood upon which it depends. This title so perfectly articulates this new force and counteracts our self-doubt due to a dearth of positive feedback. With this confident reframing of our self-concept, we are unstoppable as an allied force.
