Omar and Exile
On the evidence Ilhan Omar is a vicious, mendacious, vulgar,
bigoted, America hating leftist authoritarian and fool who fully the deserves the contempt
in which people hold her. She is also an American citizen with the same rights
as any other - including the right have
whatever opinions she likes. This is still a free enough country that Americans
do not have to worry about being exiled for their beliefs. Chanting “throw her out” is not merely crude
or stupid. It is deeply un-American.
It was wrong for Trump to tweet about her going back to
where she came from since she does not like it here, but that was only bad
manners and another example of Trump’s difficulty with propriety and self-control. He did not bring up exile. Some of his
followers have. That is disturbing. It is also ironic, since most of the people
who did it probably also would say there is a profound difference in terms of
having a right to be in this country between American citizens and illegal
aliens. They should think about the question of consistency there. They
should also be ashamed.
