Ilhan Omar: ‘I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born’

"The Minnesota congresswoman said the U.S. exports “American exceptionalism,” but it does not live those values domestically."

Um, no.

I'm sorry, but this is a prime example of the Muslim principle of lying to "infidels" in order to achieve their end goals.

    Your argument is either very poorly worded or just ridiculous.

    The values of America are 100% antithetical to communism. This is fact. One can not simultaneously support two sets of antithetical ideologies - it is impossible. Omar is trying to claim on one hand that she is American but is openly agitating in favor of communism. This isn't a matter of merely supporting bad ideas, but the dishonesty in trying to play to both sides. This is aside from her openly anti-Semitic comments - a true exercise of bigotry.

    "to take refuge in a foreign country "
    I have no idea what you're taking about. You're saying things contrary to values of this country. If you got elected to Congress, would you also be taking refugee here and obligated this adopt Enlightenment values of liberty and pluralism? I actually think you have an unconditional right to continue to take refugee here (or in my language be a citizen here) and say things contrary to our values.

    The US IS the beacon of enlightenment, like it or not.

    Yes, she and her countrymen were accepted but when you decide to take refuge in a foreign country you must become part of that country not the enemy of it and do everything to undermine and weaken it.

    "She is so right not to pretend like we [live up to our mythology of being being a state based on ideas]."
    "Pretend to accept her and her 80,000+ countrymen in this country"
    That's exactly what I mean. We have an embarrassing disgraceful element that misses the entire point, which makes us not the beacon of Enlightenment values that we want to be.

    " is that if she truly loved America and its values, why would she be agitating for communism"
    Are you saying the only explanation for people supporting bad ideas is that bigotry is actually correct? This is disgraceful. There are countless reasons people support bad ideas. Ironically, the ideology behind socialism is in some ways similar to bigotry. So I see you and she as similar in this respect. Bigots and socialists just have different group identities that they say are more important than individuals. .

    After doing some research online I deduce that IO belongs or has attended the Muslim Brotherhood Mosque in Minneapolis Mn. So, it would seem like she has been thoroughly indoctrinated in Radical Islam. So, she must have lied to her constituency about herself. I find it hard to believe the citizens of Mn are sheeple.

    When a politician outright says that they are going to follow a set of laws and principals that are at odds with our laws and principals as a Nation, they must be judged as unfit to serve and removed.
    There is so much sedition and treason happening today in our halls of government. Makes me worry about the future of our country.

    A women was fatally shot. She had called the police for help, two came in a car, The Somali immigrant officer leaned across his colleague and fired.

    The charities that encouraged settlement in Minneapolis were no doubt motivated by altruism, but as usual did not think it through.

    There are millions in the world looking for a better life, many of then refugees, or would be if they could travel. If you want be altruistic, to help, choose the ones who can give the best deal for both sides. There is a wide choice, many willing to work, adapt and learn. They may be set on their religion which is ok if it does not require forcing on the host. Somehow, the worst get selected.

    The problem is they are on her side. They went to journalism colleges. Colleges = commie and Marxist professors. If their 1 - 12 teachers did not indoctrinate them, the commies in the colleges did.

    Agreed. I just wish someone in the MSM had balls enough to point that out to her, in public, preferably while cameras were running and mics were hot.

    I think that is because Ayn etc escaped with their lives. Ditto Brigitte Gabriel. And I agree. Ilhan Omar is a radical. I cannot see her ever loving America. Of course, we do not know anyone's heart and I can be totally wrong, but from what I know of her through the news media, that is my thoughts.

    For my money, we should be less charitable at this point. Too many shady characters getting in. Obama's FBI guy said there is a cell (jihadi training camp) in every state. They need to be cleaned up.

    I don;t know what the original comments of these Congresswomen are. A foreign-born citizen can
    love this country more than some of the native-born citizens who have trashed it (for instance, Ayn Rand and Irving Berlin). But I don't think Ilhan Omar is one of those examples.

    "She is so right not to pretend like we do."

    Pretend? Pretend to accept her and her 80,000+ countrymen in this country, providing them with means of opportunities that they could not even dream of in their backward homeland?

    Omar has not followed up with actions so she could be taken seriously. She parrots anti-Semitic and anti-American slogans that have no foundation.

    You should also know that being negative about EVERYTHING in this country would not help. Did she exhibit any constructive idea of what she wanted to see? I bet she wants Sharia law and the conversion of this society to her liking. Is that your idea of her "being so right"?

    And if this was not enough you state " It rings true that she appreciates America more than many natural born citizens." Yes, many immigrants do that b/c they know what this country represents vs the one they left behind. I am unable to detect any evidence of that "appreciation" in Omar. If anything she hates the US with all her might.

    Looks like you could use some common sense if you let sanity and normalcy guide you not the WaPo.

    Twilight Zone was such a great series, and contained more messages than we ever realized in it's day. I particularly liked one called, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", which seems to be available in original version only at: https://vimeo.com/163730099 . It has nothing to do with this this post however,
