A perfect example of racial politics was recently exhibited by Ilhan Omar, the Somali-born left-wing member of Congress, whom President Trump recently suggested that she should return to her native country and “fix it,” before presuming to tell others what to do. Other members of her “squad” were also told to go back where they came from and fix problems there. That sounds like, go back to your district and fix local problems instead of trying to change the American system.
Her narrative is of distortion, her default is to blame America first. She explained that local Somali Americans attempted to join the Islamic State because of systemic alienation they experience here in America. Many believe that immigrants typically feel only a tenuous connection to America and many get isolated in ethnic enclaves and consequently never assimilate.
She contends that she has met some American veterans, “who say the most horrendous things, who seem to have a complete disregard for life.” These are the veterans that served in the very countries where most of these refugees originated; she has also accused some of her congressional colleagues of harboring those same feelings.
Most newcomers were inclined to believe that they had escaped to the greatest country on Earth and in most cases it is. An open, dynamic, generous society that afford opportunities unimaginable back home. Yet, she and her squad do not believe in these opportunities and verbalize their beliefs.
She is strongly supported in these beliefs by Beto O’Rourke a recent candidate for the US Senate from Texas; who’s line of B.S. helped him to become a losing presidential candidate , he just has not admitted it yet. He had a message for refugees who had come to America: Your new country is a hellhole. He told a roundtable of refugees and immigrants in Nashville two weeks ago: “This country was founded on white supremacy, and every single structure that we have in this country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation and suppression.”
She arrived at the age of 12 and attended school in Arlington, VA., an affluent Washington, DC, suburb. This was a very hard situation to fit in as she was black and a Muslim. She also was poor and found out she was not like the other kids and did not fit in. Yet, despite all the deprivations, she gained a seat in Congress.
Immigrants like Omar learned to speak English but added the language of oppression. They understand our system but hold it in low regard. They know our history, as taught by the local school system and instructors pushing the progressive agenda. They may be citizens, but they certainly believe they are victims. So they move into identity politics and personal grievances because of a supposed oppression.
Anyone who thinks these beliefs are alien to the United States has never been to a modern college campus, watched MSNBC or CNN., Ilhan Omar is not well suited to return and fix anything, anywhere. Her behavior suggests that she is preparing for her inevitable royal-coronation into the American elite and will one day, rule over our entire country.
Wow Mike, you have outdone yourself in your racist garbage. You and the President have to be the most racist people in the country. You want these four congresswomen to love it or leave it. You want them to leave our country even though three of the women were born here. These women have every right to speak their minds. They have more love for this country than you and all the idiots at Fox News.
As for the “love it or leave it” attitude, thank god we had the war protests back in the 60s and 70s. They led to the end of the most useless and needless war in our history. The protesters were accused of hating our country but the real haters were the politicians and military people who were responsible for the deaths and casualties of millions of people on both sides of the war.
I predicted four days ago in another comment that you would attack the four congresswomen. Unfortunately I was right. You are ust as predictable as our racist president.
David, oh my again? 1st of all Hillary lost ok? get over it now..2nd, quit calling Mike a racist, what he has said and reported about Omar is absolutely correct, and those other 3 congress “women of color”, as they like to be called are just as bad as she is. Frankly I think this woman was planted by extremist Muslims to win this seat, after all they stated that they will get Americans in a way they least expected. When I. Omar made that horrible comment about 9/11 “somebody did something” sorry David that just isn’t something a normal USA citizen says..You know that she arrested numerous times for driving related issues? Also very noteable information has come across about her marriage to her own brother to allow him access to the USA? Don’t forget the fines and penalties she also had to pay from campaigns. I say let these 4 newbees talk all they want they will be there own worst enemy and will hang themselves eventually, but right now they are creating a riff in the Democratic party and they look like a big joke in a kindergarten classroom.
You just made outrageous comments yet I respect your right to say it. Our President is a racist and was censured for it the other day. Mike is parroting his comments so Mike is just as much a racist. All Omar’s comments were taken out of context. I would rather have a 100 Omar’s than one idiot President. I know you did not read the Mueller report but our President and his buddies had over 250 contacts with the Russians and over 30 actual meetings. Without Russia’s help, our President would be back dating porn stars. Our President is the most corrupt one in our long history. Trump is using these four women to deflect from his own problems such as his direct involvement in the illegal payments to the porn stars. He also knows that Mueller is on this week which will be very embarrassing to him. Broaden your horizon and do more reading of real news, not the junk that passes for news on Fox.
I have one question for you David, What are your news/reading sources? I’d like to read what you’re reading so I can try to understand your point of view. Not that I’ll agree with you but it sure will give me a better understanding of where you’re coming from…quite often Trump’s comments are taken out of context also, that happens when people try to sway others, they choose to hear and repeat what they want to hear and repeat, that’s something both sides have in common.
Can I ask you a question? Why would you, a smart woman, vote for a person who raped, groped, harassed, and hates women? Why would you vote for a serial liar, a person who does not read or write, who turns his back on our friends around the world and who loves murderers and dictators? I read a lot of newspapers including the WAPO, NYT, RJ, LA Times and both Detroit papers and of course the Mesquite Local News. I watch NBC, CNN, MSNBC among others. If I need a laugh I will watch FOX to see them back Trump. Every news channel will be covering the Mueller testimony on Wednesday except, surprise, Fox News. Oh, and I read every word of the Mueller report.
Teri, remember David says ” he predicts” no reading material needed for him!
Oh David you slay me, you poor old democrate white man what are you 76 now? tell me this what would you do with a 100 Omar’s? 100 of them, seriously? Or was your comment taken out of context? Trumps are most of the time, but guaranteed Omar means what she said and so does that kook from Michigan (or your old stomping ground district!) Rashida or “somebody named her something” Taibon, gosh she has a pleasant mouth, remember her saying ” we going to impeach that M—–F—– with her young child by her side? Yah, want these people sitting in Congress signing bills for us. And good ole AOC, she has the brains of a cupcake, but she just wants to be famous. But you are ok with squad right David? Now, I know you have powers that see into the future as you say you predicted Mike would write about Omar, but you said “you know that I didn’t read the Mueller report”? How do you know this, this is simply amazing to me..are you a spy David? or is it one of those 100 Omars that are telling you that Lisa didn’t read that Mueller report..too busy watching that Fox news..finally, if you think Mike is such a racist and the biggest one in the country , why are you usually the 1st one to respond to his column?
Lisa, Trump’s comments are never taken out of context because he writes them and says them on TV. There are no doubt about what he says. There are now over 13,000 verified lies utttered by this corrupt president. His whole life is based on lies. He lied to the Selective Service to get out of serving during the Vietnam era. Such a lie should have gotten him put in jail for a fraud against the US. While Don was dating porn stars, Robert Mueller was a marine in Vietnam who was wounded and decorated for valor. One has a lifetime of service to his country and the other has only service to himself. I assume that you are watching Mr Mueller today. His report shows the appalling conduct of our President and his buddies. A president who welcomed help from Russians and knew ahead of time what damaging information on his opponent would be released. And remember, while a sitting President can not be indicted, Mr Mueller did say that he can be indicted after he leaves office. No one is above the law.
David – Muller’s comments show he didn’t write the report and is a little unsure what is in it and what it says. But U still must ask, where is the beef?
Whether U like Trump or not he has given-up a billionaire lifestyle to be attracted and have his family attracted to serve this country. He has done more to improve lives than most recent Presidents while being constantly insulted and harassed. You mention Trump’s buddies making out, did U know that over 80% of his cabinet worked outside the government (had a real job) so it is no wonder the insiders who are now outsiders would love to overthrow. That is called “coup” when U overthrow a dually elected President whether you like the electoral system or not..
How come Hillary is above the law???
No one is above the law, including Hillary. We all have an impeachment vote on November 3, 2020. No one is planning a coup. Every presidential cabinet is made up is mainly outsiders. Unfortunately, most of Trump’s picks are totally incompetent and many have left due to their stupidity. And I would not believe that Trump is actually a billionaire. He lied several years ago by inflating values of his holdings. He also claimed a $1.2 billion loss several years ago. Only a poorly educated person could actually lose that much money. Are you going to vote next November as your vote will not count since there is no way in hell that your President will win in Nevada. You might as well stay home and watch the peaceful change in our duly elected government.
