    No, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

    None of the men serving on the USS Liberty were 'progressives' or 'muslims'.

    Racism is and always has been the most destructive social force in America. Many thought we turned a corner when Obama was elected. The ugly backlash to his election, which includes Trump's popularity based in large part on a return to white dominance, has exposed the depth and breadth of racism that's never gone away.

    So if someone doesn’t fully support Israel, they are Anti-Semitic now?

    As explained to another user, if Trump wasn’t attacking race, he was attacking Omar’s ethnicity.

    Bad either way.

    Demonizing Socialism is easy if one has any sense of history and the race card stoking by the left is needed because they use it as a bludgeon to silence any criticism of their anti-American and antisemitic views.

    Her rhetoric goes far beyond just not supporting Israel.

    What comes after Trump may be even worse

    A who’s who of Trumpian intellectuals (an oxymoron?) gathered at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington last week to propound an ominous ideology: “national conservatism.” As Reason reported, the conferees want to ditch the old conservative aversion to having the government micromanage the economy. As Reason reported, the conferees want to ditch the old conservative aversion to having the government micromanage the economy. Many speakers argued for an industrial policy based on tariffs and tax credits to reverse what “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance described as “family decline, childhood trauma, opioid abuse, community decline, decline of the manufacturing sector.”

    You simply don't understand the motivation. It has nothing to do with race or nationality. It has to do with her anti-american agenda.

    Then perhaps those who just happen to be of minority status, and attempt to use that status to their advantage, should not conduct themselves in a manner that suggests they hate everything related to the united states, and are more interested in the standing of other nations to the exclusion of their own voting constituents.

    How many death threats does Trump get? Has she stopped speaking her mind? You know mini AOC? The 8 YO girl who was parodying her? She stopped over death threats, an 8 yo child.

    BS

    Her rhetoric is a form of truth-telling, truthful statements never heard in Congress, ever.

    Some of us are aware of the truth regarding the USS Liberty. Some are aware of Israeli crimes against the Palestinians and others.

    Fascism have been awakened? Oh, ye. By the Left.



    Congrats. Even Vox is playing with the idea of "Socialist Nationalism". Sounds too similar to "National Socialism" to me.

    Actually, if Trump had his way, even that would be illegal. He is on record as saying that it should be against the law to portray the president in a non flattering light.

    And you now have individuals claiming that it is racist to criticize politicians who just happen to be racial minorities.

    A Somalian who's father help bring about the current conditions in Somalia has absolutely zero to teach this country.

    She's here to do what her father did in Somalia: bring ruin.

    No, I can't draw the connection between race and nationalism because those are different things. Racism is a word that has a definition. A definition I have already posted once in this thread in fact. Telling someone to love it or leave it is chauvinism, not racism. And the post you were responding to wasn't actually talking about racism, it was talking about "racist undertones" by some people who can read minds apparently. If the racism is all undertones and dog whistles, how do you know it is real and not in your head?

    You state: "I feel its fitting to say this again. There is no law saying you have to be white, speak English, and be Christian to be a part of this country. This land wasn't that in the first place anyway."

    This land WAS that in the first place though. A group of white, British, protestant colonists created the original 13 colonies and the original US. All of our laws are written in English. The constitution is written in English. The police speak English. The courts use English. Congress is conducted in English. Our laws are based on British common law. And the original immigration act of 1792 specifies white people are the only people who can immigrate here. Some version of that was US policy until 1965 when the immigration policy changed, but even then it was with assurances to the public that this change would not shift the US demographics. It seems like people hate this fact today, but this is a country that was created for white people. It is in fact, the ONLY country ever created for white people. France is for FRENCH people, Germany is for German people and so on. Only the US used the generic "white" as the ethnic identity of the nation, with the understanding this was to be with heavy Anglo-Saxon influence.

    So when you say things like "this land wasn't that in the first place anyway", implying that it was always meant to be some multiracial multicultural melting pot, it sounds absurd. A brief look at US history will show you problems with black people, Indians, and the Chinese. The Chinese exclusion act was written precisely because what you are implying is not true. Even some white people were not white enough like the Irish or the Italians. Things have changed since then, so if you want to say "that's not who we are since the 60's" that's fine, but to pretend this diversity at any cost mindset is something the founders gave us is either disingenuous or you know literally nothing of US history.

    While it may not be directly codified that we do have a national language or ethnic component, we do. That all of the laws are written down in English tells you we do. When you take a citizenship test, guess which language they make you speak? It's not Spanish or French...it's English. So you can try to "plausible deniability" your way through this by pretending not to know which language we speak, but when you see a stop sign later, take note of which language it is written in. De facto vs de Jure.

    And finally, for the Christian thing. You do not have to be a Christian to be a citizen of this country it is true, but you do live in a culture with a strong Christian heritage, making you culturally Christian whether you are religious or not. And before you try to dispute your Christian heritage, just consider what year is it right now? It is 2019...what happened 2019 years ago? Is it 2019 in every country?

    As an aside, what does the phrase "trying to establish white supremacy" even mean? Why would white people NOT be in a superior situation in a nation built by their ancestors for them, and in which they are the majority?
    It's odd that you would find that odd. Would you go to China and tell them it is too Chinesey there for you, and they need more people that look like you in government to appease your personal sense of aesthetic diversity? Probably not, and even if you did they would not care. Of course Chinese people hold most of the positions of power and most of the best stuff in China. Why would you start with the assumption that it would be any different? The reason I bring this up is because when I ask for a definition of "white supremacy" I invariably get a description of the majority ethnic population in almost every country on the earth. All of the media and beauty standards reflect the dominant population group!!!! How can this be???? The country is run mostly by the same ethnic group that founded it???? It must be a conspiracy!
    So what is "white supremacy" exactly? As you use the term I mean.

    Blah blah English blah! There was me thinking that the US pretends its the land of the free, rather than just an English imperialist colony.
