It has been a tough week for the fresh faces of the democratic party. The chinks in their armor are beginning to show. Alright, it is not a chink, they are beginning to implode. But we are going to look at one incident today. That is the fight between Tucker Carlson of Fox News and Ilhan Omar, the democratic congressman from Minnesota. It was a short-lived war which I thought it would be. That’s because Tucker’s monologues bring up much deeper problems that we conservatives are being forced to face and deal. These problems are not new. They have been around since the thirties.
Tucker Carson’s monologue started out positive enough. He talked about the virtues of this country. How this country is unconditionally generous with other countries especially during disasters. He also talked about the American Dream. How this country takes in more immigrants than any other country. About how these immigrants are able to assimilate and take the advantages of all of the benefits of this country and become successful. The American Dream does not care about race, gender or creed. We are all equal when it comes to the opportunities of this country.
Then he gives us an example of the American Dream. About a six year old girl who lived in the war-torn country country of Somalia. The family left Somalia and ended of in a refugee camp in Kenya. Four years later, when the little girl was ten, the family was granted asylum to the United States. The family moved to Minnesota where the father was a taxi cab driver at first but soon ended up working for the government as a postal worker. The little girl went through the education system and was very successful. She entered local politics and climbed the ranks. Finally, at the age of thirty-six, this little became one of the most watched congressman in the House of Representatives. This awesome story is that of Ilhan Omar.
But would Omar show any appreciation for a country and love the opportunities it gives a million of legal immigrants a year? Let’s listen to Tucker’s take:

Omar did not exactly appreciate being called out by Tucker did exactly what Tucker said they would do. They Tweeted that he was a racist, xenophobe and a white supremacist. Here are a couple of Omar’s Tweets:
No, that’s not what he said. He believed we needed more vetting because this country does not need immigrants that hate our country. People like this form discord and can actually hurt the country from within which can be worse than any terrorist. And Ilhan Omar is exactly what Tucker is talking about. She is an anti-Semite, hates America and is a terrorist sympathizer. This is a woman who fought for leniency for nine convicted ISIS-converted terrorists in Minnesota because they were marginalized. Heck, she said what she thought about terrorist organizations in an interview with, I believe, Al Jazeera:
Not exactly sure how one compares Al Qaeda and Hezbollah with the United States Army. But, whatever.
Notice in these Tweets, she doesn’t have anything substantial to say or an argument. She just slings insults. Also, she does not call into Fox News and try to respond or debate on air. I would bet my left arm Tucker will have her on. She just attempts to mark it as “hate speech” (whatever that is) and calls for Fox News sponsors to boycott the station. In other words, she wants her critics silenced.
See, debate is something the left does not do because they cannot do it. If they try, they will lose every time. See, here’s the thing: Tucker was not wrong about any of this. Everything he said was true and can be proven either by Tweets Omar has written or through her own words during speeches.
Let’s go back to Tucker because you know he had a response and it silenced the opposition. This clip actually references the previous clip, so you may want to fast forward through some of it.
Tucker is exactly correct. This has nothing to do with racism on the right. The right’s embrace of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali is just one example of that. There are many others including Candace Owens (black), Dave Rubin (gay and Jewish), Ben Shapiro (Jewish) and Josefina Orozco (Hispanic and my girlfriend). All these people, except for Josie who no one knows, are hated by the left even though they meet some requirements of intersectionality and identity politics.
But I think Tucker hit on something really important. Something that he may need a book to express. At least he couldn’t express it in a six minute segment. Whether or not he meant to, I had thoughts that went way beyond his commentary. And, yes, it’s probably racist and xenophobic too.
Mikhail Khrushchev, the premier of the Soviet Union in the 1960s, said that the Soviet Union would win the Cold War against the United States without firing a single shot. Of course, he would be proven wrong but he gave away how totalitarian governments come to be. What he meant was communism would eat at the foundation of our democracy from within. If one reads the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, this is no secret. Unenlightened ideas and misinformation are the enemies of our government. That is why President Trump calling the mainstream media “enemies of the people” is not exactly incorrect. Lies, identity politics, intersectionality, suppression of speech, the wiping out of our history and the indoctrination to leftist idea within our schools are the rot that is damaging the foundation of our democratic republic. It will slowly transform the United States into a leftist “utopia”. But their “utopia” involves the elite taking and holding power at any cost. The citizens are only commodities for holding that power.
Tucker was right. Omar, Talib and Ocasio-Cotez are a “hustle”. They are a small minority and are really dumb, but they are loud, extreme, young and vicious. Their ideas are poison for our country and any reasonable person, which makes up the vast majority of the country, knows it.
The problem we have is that the younger generations are leaning to the totalitarian concepts that are being pushed. The schools teach it, the media confirms it and the entertainment industry makes it an emotional cause. Judaeo Christian values and religion are being demonized and attacked. Schools are indoctrinating children, as young as preschool age, to leftist concepts instead of teaching math, science and how to reason. History is being rewritten. Laws are being ignored. The Constitution is being dismissed because it was written by racist, white men who only tried to create an unjust patriarchy.
Though this trash that is being pushed is still considered fringe, it is making its way to the mainstream. Look at the democratic debates with the 482 candidates. These “mainstream” candidates are embracing far left, nation-changing concepts. Even the candidates that are considered moderate are beginning to promote these concepts because they know they cannot win the primary if they do not.
Like in the 50’s and 60’s, we need to be aware of this attack. Though Joseph MacCarthy was insane, he was not wrong when exclaiming that there is a Red Scare. The poison we are fighting today was already there sixty years ago in our media and entertainment industry. The Red Scare, for those who do not know, was a movement led by Joseph McCarthy. Its purpose was to weed out and ruin all communist sympathizers in the country. And it did. But it also ruined a lot of people that were innocent or just did not believe in democracy or capitalism. It was much like the attack on free speech that we are experiencing today from the left. It was not a good time in our history.
We do not have to violate the Constitutional rights of people as McCarthy did. We just have to know what is happening and bravely point it out. I see bravely because one wrong word can cost one his job or get him beaten up in the streets. That is what Tucker did. He knew he would be called lots of names and there were going to be calls to shut Fox News down. He said it was going to happen. But he was right. If he were wrong, leftists would not have called him a racist, xenophobe and white supremacist.
We all need to learn from that.
