The American consumer benefits from war, that's why they support it.

She is not anti-semitic.

Name one anti-semitic thing she has said?

I'm sorry, but what are you trying to say here?

It's not surprising, Americans are loyal to their two party system, and an attack on their government figureheads is an attack on them.

This opinions expressed by Omar are common in Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

The media just protects people from this view.
In many ways, this isn't wrong.

Of course there are pro-America people in the sense of the culture, etc.

In Iran many people love American stuff.

But from the Philippines, to Kenya (pro-America more or less), to Bolivia/Argentina, people assume America is an imperial power that goes to war to maintain its power.

It is only America and western countries that assume benevolence.

It's not a think of hate either, it is just considered a fact. Americans have a hard time viewing the world in such a way since American exceptionalism is a core of our ideology.

If I had to support one of them, Obama v. Omar, over the other I would have to pick Obama, as Im sure If it came down to it O would side with America over most any country, where Omar would side with most any Islamic country that was not an enemy of Somalia.

Either she is kicked out and is no longer a political feasible candidate, or she sells out like AOC.


Don't expect a politician to come and save the day.
I don't know you think I would. I love what she is saying. I've said the same for years. It's nice to hear another voice of reason.
