#1 The ancient Greeks got one thing right, the need to exile traitors and those who try to destroy society from within. An oversight of our Founding Fathers.

#2 America should have remembered these humanistic values when they were importing slaves traded by the African slavers for their farms then. But they couldn't because they probably didn't exist.

These are political ideals based on semantic associations of 'kindness' with good, and 'triumph over adversity' with achievement of something noble. All resulting from faithless philosophy that seeks justifications for newer and newer liberties through self-righteous posturing. Much like the Catholic Church. And what if 'triumph over adversity' today should mean getting elected to the HoR and weaponizing immigrants against citizens, to avenge some historic slight ?

Every organism tries to better its own conditions, its survivability rate and longevity. There is no implicit promise in the well-intentioned idiocy of inviting aliens, that they will reward you with gratitude and loyalty. People just went by their own ideas of what-should-be, in trusting 'ideals' instead of truths. You basically owned a class of people, moved them about as cattle, traded and bred them, all the while opining about how they were 'primates' and condescending once in a while with sops and special treatment. Resentment and tribal rage just seethed, under a farce of courtesy all through a century. Them one day, over-educated, overcome with communal guilt And maybe high on psilocybes , you gave them suffrage, right to contest, hold office and then they granted themselves free education, free money, immunity from laws ! WTF did you expect ?! Before you should think this is a racist rant, I don't believe in segregation or superiority. I only believe that a nation's people be committed to one (or at least similar) ideal. The idea of accommodating a thousand different beliefs and cultures within your territory is something even God warned against.

America should have aspired to those ideals enshrined in the Word of God, on which the land was founded. Ideals posited by 'thinkers' and 'reformers' are what sank this boat. Ilhan Omar is no different from Elijah Cummings or Barack Obama or for that matter Martin Luther King. They are all opportunist ravagers, empowered by a constantly seething pot of more ravagers and stirred with historic racial hatred for America and her allies. Who says Omar's not a role model already ? She is a role model for her community. A community that has not wavered in its faiths or historic pretensions for centuries, unlike America who doesn't know which side is up anymore.

It is believed (wrongly, I hope) that satanism and scientiology-like groups are the fastest growing cults in the US right now. While the 'champions of the Cross' are jet-setting with lobbyists and scamming people into buying them mansions and yachts. America hardened their hearts to calls for right living by sane preachers they called 'holy rollers' and idiots, through the 20s... the 40s, until the 60s brought with them 'the ravager to destroy'.

Semantics for ideals cannot support a nation. Only convictions can. Your enemy has it in much greater numbers. If America is to become great again, the people shall have to go back to God. Get on their knees in their homes and pray, buy Bibles and read them. Pray for their leader, pray for each other, pray for divine interference for the sake of justice, pray against injustice and tyranny.

I know it sounds stupid to many of you, and 'how is this relevant to Ilhan' ? My point is that like all current 'elites', this thinker too supposes the rise of the Omars and Obamas in America is due to your incredible affinity for tolerance and appreciation for human will and tenacity. That it was the 'ideals enshrined' in American culture that enabled these ascensions. I'm saying it was more a lack of realideals and conformity to self-righteous conventions.

#3 Ilhan Omar is reprehensible but that's actually a good thing. This is because she conspicuously represents the ascendant wing of the Dem party.

Many people somehow believe that the Dem's love America and they just go a bit too far into social engineering. For those people, Rep Omar is a rebuke of their comfortable illusion.

And of all the "Moslems are just Episcopalians with veils" people, Rep Omar has a lesson for them too.

#4 Omar and her ilk believe that they are the ones who should control all the power.

Her "rescuers" after all, brought her here to rule, no?

#5 The ancient Greeks got one thing right, the need to exile traitors and those who try to destroy society from within. An oversight of our Founding Fathers.

Ah...not quite. The most virulent snakes were removed from the nest. Between the Treaty of Paris 1783 and the ratification of the 'Bill of Rights' in 1791, left a good deal of time to purge the new nation of the threat within. Our ~~aristocracy~~ judiciary is the biggest obstruction to our security via the Sedition Act.

Given that new citizens take an oath of allegiance to the Constitution as well as all Congresscritters, individuals who have publicly denounced said document seem to be engaged in fraud one way or another.

The value of Omar is that she clearly demonstrates that it is no longer the Democratic Party, but the Communist Party to which it evolved. Quite calling them liberals. Call them what they are, communists.

#6 My attitude towards "Ms. Blackhawk Down" is:
1) She obviously does not believe in the Constitution.
2) She has stated that she feels threatened by America.
3) She has stated that she feels proud of Al Qaeda.

Therefore, WTF is she doing in Congress? Regardless of how many votes she got, she still has to swear to uphold the US Constitution. She actually wants to DESTROY the US constitution. Having her in congress is like having Himmler in congress during WWII.

#7 The question is, Minnesota's 5th district is 67% white, only 16% black, and the rest are hispanics and all. Who are the white Americans voting for the bitch ?

#8 From wiki:

Minnesota's 5th District is strongly Democratic with a Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) of D+26—by far the most Democratic district in the state.[5] The 5th is also the most Democratic district in the Upper Midwest.

The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) has held the seat without interruption since 1963, and the Republicans have not tallied more than 40 percent of the vote in almost half a century.

#10 I'm saying it was more a lack of realideals and conformity to self-righteous conventions.

Dron you're once again a blow hard trying to impress without having a freaking point. I and several others live here, let me drop a clue.

This piece of shit is a protected class. The Minnesota media, national news and the deep swamp Minnesota FBI refuse to report nor investigate her.

Specifically Obama's The head of the FBI for Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota Special Agent Rick Thornton refused to investigate Omar. That fraud FBI Director Christopher Wray appointmented some Jill Sanborn as the special agent in charge of the Minneapolis Division. She supposedly served as the section chief of the International Operations Section II, in the Counterterrorism Division.

To point, not ONE Somanimal has been charged with the stolen Minnesota daycare millions that were shipped back in suitcases (funding jihad) to Somalia.

Why is she specifically protected?
Omar is not a Christian
Is a fundamentalist jihad mooslim (see not Christian)
Black women
Somalian
Democrat

If anyone in the press or FBI were doing their jobs, Omar would be in Federal prison awaiting deportation.

All this has nothing to do with "real ideals and conformity to self-righteous conventions" waste of a byte asshat.

#11 I'm not offended, even if you have made my point. It was not about Omar. It was about what you value. It's more depressing than anything. The 'liberal' and 'humanistic' values so celebrated by the article are precisely what's being used to such effect against you. Not all of them are in consonance with the faith that your country was founded upon. But mention God, and off you go. You think a senate committee will deliver you from out of this shit ? Or a single administration ? Who's responsible for this mess if not the idiot voters themselves ? And where have they fallen from ?

Which brings us to Omar, and she is just a symptom. The day she insisted that she will take oath on a Koran, she should have been shown the door, disqualified from her candidature, and we wouldn't be having this dialogue. Even if you're caught in a conflict between Bible and Bourbon my contention is easy to understand, Woodrow. Talking about God and loyalty to christian values is never 'impressive'. It's the first step to losing friends, which is why people stopped doing it. And why the Omar's are ruling.
