Continuing the theme of racism at the heart of the modern Republican Party, I was amused to follow the whole Dubai Ports deal, in which a company in the United Arab Emirates would run the operations of six ports in the US. After 5 years of what I think of as the Bush/Cheney base “All-them-ragheads-look-alike-to-me” strategy of conflating 9/11 and Iraq, they thought the business wing of the party could swing a deal with a friendly Arab neighbor.
After all the drum beating that Muslim radicals (the “radicals” is silent) around the world are plotting our doom, they found that train had left the station and would be extremely hard to stop.
Ignorance and racism are powerful tools. The American people are too good for them.
