The time has arrived to break the silence on the unprecedented expression of hatred against Western values and America’s economic prosperity. It is also time to break the silence on the unprecedented anti-Semitic rhetoric proudly and unashamedly expressed by the Democratic party’s trio of elected Congresswomen; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar. Underlying their rhetoric of hatred is a basic lack of identification with the nation that afforded them unparalleled opportunity and instead act as if they were elected to the House of Looney-Tunes, in which Roger Rabbit is head of the Treasury and Alibaba is head of Homeland Security. The widespread reporting and largely positive exposure by the mainstream media for this Democratic dream team has given legitimacy to their anti-American, and anti-Semitic beliefs.
The absence of moral indignation can only be explained by a morally corrupt and intellectually dishonest Democratic Party and mainstream media who operate under the belief that there can be no expectations from Politicians of Color to embrace the idea of American exceptionalism or measure up to the high expectations of Western morality. When Cortez voices her beliefs against American economic prosperity, she does so exclusively through the Pavlovian looking glass of socialistic economic theories despite the widespread poverty, and undemocratic regimes that claim to be socialist. When Tlaib and Omar freely express their blatant anti-Semitic and anti-Israel beliefs, they do so by blurring the distinction between their hatred of Jews and their hatred of Israel; two sides of the same coin. Why does this trio of Politicians of Color express so many hideous thoughts and beliefs about Jews and not be driven from the public spotlight? Would they be as nonchalant if a politician not of color would express support for a commonly accepted practice in Sudan, the former homeland of congresswomen Omar, where 97% of the local woman are forced to undergo the primitive and savage procedure of female genital mutilation (FGM) usually at an early childhood age,; I seriously doubt the Democratic Party nor the mainstream media would tolerate this even for a moment.
Never demanding accountability from Cortez, Tlaib, or Omar is not an expression of a willingness to support free speech but simply a reluctance to expose and explicitly condemn the idiocy of Cortez’s Green New Deal or condemn the savagery so prevalent in Palestinian society and Islamic countries so easily ignored and denied by Tlaib and Omar. This sugar coating by the Democratic Party and the mainstream media is nothing more than the racist bigotry of low expectations of Politicians of Color who are held to standards lower than other mainstream politicians. Despite Cortez, Tlaib, and Omar having no shame in expressing their hatred of Jews, this was the response of the Democratic leader Pelosi during a MSNBC town hall recently,“I'm not in the censorship business. I don't like that language, I wouldn't use that language, but I wouldn't establish language standards for my colleagues.”
This reluctance to expose and explicitly condemn this trio will only empower and perpetuate poverty, the hatred of American society, and increase anti-Semitism. It was the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who declared at the Riverside Church in Manhattan in 1967. “We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak,” and added “A time comes when silence is betrayal”. Now is the time to end this deafening silence, a silence of betrayal, and began the arduous task of exposing this trio for what they represent; a manifestation of low expectations all under the banner of political correctness run amok.
To stand up and demand accountability from Politicians of Color we must begin by learning from the past. During the 20th century, masters of propaganda like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels made lying a cardinal backbone of everything that was expressed by their leadership. Goebbels’ technique was based on one assumption: “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.” In other words: if you lie, lie big. For our trio, these politicians of color have become accustomed to lying and do so without even a flinch or murmur. Their support for discriminatory actions and boycotts of Israel despite Israel having one of the best records of upholding human rights while at the sometime supporting doing business with the worst human rights offenders in the world, is nothing less than empowering the big lie, and doing it over and over again.
Out of the trio, the Democratic Party’s Tlaib especially stands out and known for her use of venomous language against America, President Trump, Jews, and Israel even catching veteran broadcasters by surprise. Always seeming to forget that she was elected to the House of Congress of the United States, she expresses total support and affinity for the Palestinian cause, even though Palestinian terrorists, acting in the name of "Palestine," have killed numerous Americans, both Jews as well as Christians. Yet when American Jews support Israel, she is at the forefront of accusing American Jews of dual loyalty. It is both bigoted and hypocritical to apply a different standard to Jews who support Israel than to Muslims who support the Palestinian cause. Due to the bigotry of low expectations of Politicians of Color, Tlaib is never called to order by her Democratic bosses and the mainstream media always gives her a free ride to exposure.
This past week Rep Ilhan Omar had no problem with expressing blatant anti-Semitic accusations that referenced stereotypes about Jews and money and alluded to the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee allegedly paying off Republicans to support Israel. Omar’s accusations are totally detached from reality and only show how uninformed she really is resulting on calls to have her removed from the powerful Foreign Relations Committee. No one with her anti-Semitic views should be allowed to represent US foreign policy on that committee. This is how Politicians of Color should be held accountable for their unacceptable behavior.
Whether we discuss the suggested Green Deal of Cortez, based on an idiotic proposal to end air travel and to ban cow flatulence for starters or focus in on the uninhibited anti-Semitic statements by Tlaib and Omar, they are only the symptom of the problem. As long as the Democratic Party and the mainstream media continue to say nothing and do nothing and essentially go along with these ideas that have nothing to do with environmentalism and human rights but everything to do with promoting socialism and authoritarian societies, Politicians of Color will continue with their crusade of destroying America from within the halls of Congress.
