    so sad that republican put a $$$ value on the lives of those that died on 9-11 by the position in the company they had when they died

    When I heard the recording of her saying that, that on 911, some people did something, it for a moment was hard to believe anyone would refer to 911 with those benign sounding words, and then it infuriated the hell out of me, that she consciously chose those words.

    Well folks, this is what it sounds like when a people are not assimilating, and cannot feel what an assimilated american feels. An american that feels like and thinks like an american, would never choose those words. Is that what our future looks like, where we are not all americans, but first we are from this culture or that culture, that we have no plans of losing, or becoming an american as all of our european immigrants became. That a muslim is a muslim who just lives in america, enjoying what assimilated immigrants, americans created?

    And apparently, this is not only happening here in america, the nation created by immigrants who wanted to be an american, but it is happening in europe too, where assimilation is apparently not wanted by many of these immigrants. We became a success as a nation because we were ONE people, regardless of where our families came from. That is how you can create a nation out of various cultures, where immigrants become assimilated into one people, regardless of religion, culture or race.

    This woman is not representative of that, and one wonders if we have significant numbers of muslims who are just like her? Where is their primary allegiance? Are they muslims who live in america and enjoy what other assimilating immigrants created here, or are they American muslims? If you think this is irrelevant, you IMO, are terribly wrong.

    Having a growing population that are not american in their hearts, in their soul, will guarantee problems, between the muslim population and assimilated americans. We are no longer one people, originating from different cultures, but different cultures who have no connection to being an american. A division, that never welds itself into one people. Given this is how we handled different cultures in our history, and what it yielded was socially positive, and now we have a people who want no part of it is not a good thing at all. Or is this woman an anomaly? From the applause she got from muslims at that CARE event, when she said troublesome things, it is not at all obvious she is an anomaly at all.

    No doubt assimilation was much easier and people from western europe, and even people from eastern europe assimilated rather easy. But when you see immigrants from cultures, like muslim cultures who prefer sharia, and theocracy over secular gov't who might not assimilate, you will inevitably see division, and two cultures that are not common enough, which will create problems. And what the one people paradigm created here in america will have a log thrown into the bike spokes. Is this what an intelligent immigration system would ever do? Are there cultures not fit to immigrate to america, due to the resistance to assimilate into one people? It is very possible.

    Well, only time will tell, and then it will be too late to do a thing about it. I only hope this woman and that crowd is not representative of muslim immigrants, and she is just a hateful person, and that is her problem.

    If the democratic party had any testicles at all, they would have come out against her remarks, and put her in her place, letting her know that 911 was much more than just some people doing something, dismissing it as if it was not important, when it was the biggest event since pearl harbor, and she as an american should not treat it so lightly. Putting up with such behavior from a congressman is outrageous, for the democrats all too easily call out repubs for behavior much less toxic than what we have seen from this woman since she was elected. This crap needs to be nipped in the bud by the congress she is a member of and it makes me think the dems are irresponsible cowards.

    She seems to hate this nation, and it seethes from her pores, or so it seems to me. But I may be over reacting, and only time and her mouth will tell the story. I surely don't want her to be subject to violence, and hope that never happens. That would be as bad or worse than what she is communicating. But I think it would be good advice to tell her to tone it down, if for nothing else, out of respect for the innocent people murdered by sunni muslims on 911.

    Then I guess you guys aren’t as intelligent as you want us to believe. I can fix a lot of things, but I can’t fix that.

    She was speaking to Muslims about how Muslims were collectively held responsible for 911.

    But she's female, black, and Muslim and so the little lost boys of trumpkinism are fiddling in their shorts and willing a fellow death cultist to reverse a car over her.

    Why is it racist and bigoted to point out that Trump supporters are racist and bigoted, but I assume some are decent people?

    And yet liberals keep moving en masse to conservative states and cities and not the other way around. Trump voters are hateful racist bigots who create wonderful places to live that liberals flock to and work diligently to undermine and destroy. If you hate Trump supporters so much, why not just avoid living near them? They would be very happy if you did this and it should make you happy as well.

    There is a huge audience of people desperate for actual news, as opposed to the propaganda the left's MSM partners put out by the hour.

    Smart business move to reach out to that audience, rather than fighting with the rest to see who can blow the loudest New Democratic Party supporting dog whistle.

    Official School Records Support Claims That Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Married Her Brother

    https://pjmedia.com/davidsteinberg/...that-rep-ilhan-omar-d-mn-married-her-brother/

    According to official student enrollment records archived by St. Paul Public Schools and the state of Minnesota, an “Ahmed N. Elmi” was enrolled as a senior in the Class of 2003 at Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, from September 6, 2002, until June 10, 2003. He graduated and received a diploma.

    The enrollment record states that “Ahmed N. Elmi” was born on April 4, 1985.

    Both Ilhan Omar’s 2009 marriage documents and her 2017 divorce proceedings state that Ahmed Nur Said Elmi was born on April 4, 1985.

    After an extensive background search, I have not been able to find any other person named “Ahmed Nur Said Elmi,” “Ahmed N. Elmi,” or even “Ahmed Elmi” with the birthdate April 4, 1985. The man Ilhan Omar married and the 17- to 18-year-old who attended Arlington Senior High School in St. Paul, MN, in 2002-2003 are one and the same.

    I'm still waiting for somebody to explain the "context" that her remarks were supposedly taken out of.

    The only context I can see is her mistruth about when and why CAIR was founded. That context only made her flippant remarks about 9/11 more self-serving, and insulting.

    Note- notice I called it a "mistruth" and not a "lie". That's me giving her the benefit of the doubt of being merely an ignoramus, and not a big, fat liar, 'cuz I'm generous like that.

    Screen Shot 2019-04-12 at 8.34.53 AM.png

    Fun fact: CAIR was actually founded is response to, of all things, an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that depicted Muslims as, shock horror, terrorists.

    Wow. That's what was considered "bad PR" for Muslims in 1994. If they only knew what was coming down the pipe in 7 years.

    Oops - you identified the perp.

    When playing the Negation Game, you never identify the perp. If you haven't learned that from the jihadist apologist in Minnesota you should have learned that from our previous president who couldn't bring himself to utter the word "Islamist", much less show up in Paris after a jihadist terror attack to stand in solidarity with other world leaders in defense of our fundamental human rights.

    As an anti-Islamist Muslim from Britain correctly pointed out:

    The amount of leftists defending Omar is hilarious. Do you guys know anything about Islam? My family had to flee from Iran to get away from these monsters. Leftists loonies openly asking for them to bring their culture here cracks me up

    I have a friend who's Syrian. His family fled Syria to escape the religion of peace's peacefulness. They went to Italy, and my friend eventually made his way to the US.

    My friend tells people he's Italian, because his name looks sort of Italiany, he can pull off Sicilian with his looks, and he says Americans are terrible at differentiating accents.

    When he hears white-guilted Americans say that Islam is a religion of peace, he laughs his ass off. He tells me "That religion of peace killed every kid in my grammar school except me."

    LOL - I saw that Fun Fact on Wikipedia. :lol:

    Incidentally, the FBI has other things to say about CAIR's founding (which was formulated in 1993):

    FBI Chart and Documents Portray CAIR as Hamas-Related Organization
    https://www.breitbart.com/national-...ents-portray-cair-hamas-related-organization/

    That information has been all over the Internet for decades.

    This isn't some VRWC, either. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has described CAIR as "a front group for Hamas".

    Not surprising to find Ilhan Omar addressing that group...

    'Some people did something'. I'll be specific and gruesome about what they did: They hijacked several planes and threatened the lives of all those onboard. Then they had them commit kamikaze style attacks, and I don't think you want to live in real-time as the flames from the crash literally incinerate your body on impact. And that's just the planes. We haven't gotten to the towers, or the debris(causing cancer among other things.) and more flames literally entrapping people as they die without the ability to get to 'safe ground'(such as it was)

    And as if the attacks were bad enough in NYC, I think people ignore the significant attack on Capitol Hill and a US Government building. I want to leave no doubt in your mind(not that you should have any) about what those hijackers were, and what they tried to accomplish.

    They tried to dismantle the American Dream, they tried to dismantle freedom and independence and they did so in a mass carnage of murder that hopefully will never be seen in this country again.

    Illhan Omar should be impeached and removed from her position. Her comments are far more grotesque than anything King ever said, and somehow she outdid herself from the Israeli controversy. I do not see her as a faithful representative of American norms and values.

    According to the left, only white people can be racists. And according to the left, Trump's supporters are mostly white and here you are labeling Trump's white supporters of being racists. You didn't say 'some' supporters, you said Trump supporters, meaning all of them. In a round about way you only went after white people, and the bigoted part is you just went after Trump's white people regardless if they're racists or not, and we're not.

    In order to gauge your honesty, are Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Farrakhan racists?

    Well said. I'm sure the moral and intellectual pygmies who defend Omar will take issue with your remarks.

    Speaking for myself, I expect jihadist apologists/defenders like Ilhan Omar to make the comments she made. As I pointed out in the OP, negating jihadist atrocities is what they do. None of this is surprising - in fact, it is to be expected.

    I can't say that I'm surprised that she has obtained Sacred Cow status on the lunatic ANSWERnik fringe, either. The radical Left has been cavorting with Islamists for a long time and I haven't forgotten how Osama bin Laden used to couch the rhetoric in his messages to the West in terms that would appeal to "progressives". I have to concede he was very savvy in that respect - he knew what effect that would have on the useful Leftist idiots who were doing his dirty work back here on the home front by undermining support for the campaign against him and his jihadist allies around the world.

    It's been a while since we've seen these people crawl out of the woodworks, but there they are. The only thing remarkable about this is that they've worked their way into the halls of Congress and are now holding the leadership of the Democratic party hostage to them and their extremism. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out within the Dems' ranks but right now things don't look encouraging. The lunatics are taking over the asylum.

    Wow, the Right Wing Snowflakes are on this one full steam ahead!!

    I live in NYC and breathed in the filthy air for weeks, and I'm not offended by Omar's choice of words.

    That's because you're an untrainable.

    Muslim terrorists slaughtered thousands in your city, and you're not the least bit offended when a notorious terrorist apologists flippantly dismisses the massacre like it was nothing.

    You think it makes your virtuous to not be offended. It doesn't, what it make you is utterly untrainable.

    Terrorists can slaughter your neighbors, and it still won't beat any sense into you. You're like a cow in a slaughterhouse who watches the cow in front of it in the chute get the bolt gun to the head and the you cow thinks "That did not offended me".
