    Dems have been using imaginary racism for political gain. Just as they demonized blacks in the past, they now demonize anyone who opposes them.

    Trump's "in your face" opposition scares the dems. Usually republicans run away from the accusations with their tail between their legs. They then claim to be "above it all". How has that worked out?

    It is time to resist the dems power plays so they will actually have to run on real issues, not imaginary ones.

    I really do not see the "Squad" as being anti-American. IMO, the word "anti-American" is thrown around too much by both sides as a buzz-word to discredit people that they do not agree with. I do not really like their policies and disagree with them at so many levels, but I would not say they were "anti-American". What is that anyway? America is made up of a lot of different ideas, beliefs, and opinions. How can someone having different beliefs be "anti-American"?

    Trump sure knows how to make Kasich and Romney squeal.
    Joni Ernst too. ;-)

    Can there be a third America? I am a one-woman wrecking crew to expose the mostly evil side of political correctness, and nowhere is it more evil than in the constant and erroneous drum beat of RACISM and/or RACIST whenever anybody on the left presumes to correct, criticize, or comment on any person who is not pretty much 100% of white European heritage. And I am in no way silent about it.

    The President is not racist nor did he refer to race when he criticized four belligerent nonsensical anti-American spewing freshman congresswomen and suggested they should go back to where they came from and fix the problems there before they trash, defame, and maliciously slander America and Americans. But because those four freshman congresswomen are not pretty much 100% of white European heritage, the media, the left, Democrats in Congress etc. etc. immediately jumped on that and accused the President of racism.

    That is utterly stupid. The President's comment may not have been helpful and could legitimately be seen as unwise, even petulant to some, but it was not racist in any way, shape or form. And to characterize it that way just adds to the dilution and distortion of real racism and takes away from attention to what real racism is.

    The Dems are just as wrong as their pejorative slinging at Trump just as much as he is an ass for mentioning his ignorance on where they came from and to leave.. This nation allows people to have freedom of speech evidently Trump forgot about other people having it also...

    Saying people can't be criticized because of their skin color is what is racist.

    Maybe that shows Trump's restraint not his stupidity.

    Omar believes that America denies even her humanity. She hates America and has told all of us exactly why. It is now clear that the rest of the DP political class agrees with Omar.

    "So the truth is, you can go to school and be a good student. You can listen to your dad and mom and become a doctor. You can have that beautiful wedding that makes mom and dad happy. You can buy that beautiful house. But none of that stuff matters if you one day show up to the hospital and your wife, or maybe yourself, is having a baby, and you can’t have the access that you need because someone doesn’t recognize you as fully human."

    ‘You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany, or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk or Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.’~ Ronald Reagan..

    Where is the law that states that a person must become an American clone to your approval?

    I agree except I like Trump's tweet. America: Love it or leave it. Very fitting comment.

    Yep. You can even be an anti-American American.
    That would obviously include many American Democrat politicians.

    He actually said 'go back where you came from - fix the place, and then come back and show us how you did it'.

    Vietnam is over and Trump has no right to tell people to leave if they do not wish to do so just because of a difference of opinion..Something rich, fat bastards don't understand.

    You can always leave. I doubt your imaginary war will be over soon. Not as long as dems can milk the myth for votes.
