Hating America

The hatred is working. You can see it in Congress, on campuses and among your neighbors. They hate because everyone is hating.

 

Neighbors? Yes. Someone had to vote in those scurrilous members of The Squad and their sycophants. They were your neighbors, at least somebody’s neighbors in America. 

 

Where did our neighbors’ hatred come from? We went to the same schools, we read the same books, we go to the same churches, we intermarry. Yet some are rabid haters, anti-American by any definition. They are not like us, we imagine. 

 

Yet they are us. Molded of the same clay as we, but they burn with the need to hate someone or something. If they could just hate hard enough or long enough, their lives would be better and they could have the things they want and they could be at peace. If you have to pay the cost of their hatred, well, so what?

 

They are American Narcissists. “Everything for me, I as long as I don’t have to pay. We deserve it. Our moms and our friends told us so. You? Well, no. You’re different.”

 

Many of the American Narcissists have never worked, never created, never farmed or ranched or raised or grown. They still want stuff, though. They still need to feed their broken families. They still need to prove they are worthy; they are good enough; they are as good as… you. But without the work and sweat and sacrifice you endured. The things you suffered to get what you have. Those things are quite inconvenient to them, and why bother if the subsistence checks keep coming? 

 

In AOC’s case, I suspect an insatiable ego coupled with the burden of being cutesy. It’s difficult for her to believe the world doesn’t revolve around her. It always has, from being a cutesy bartender to being a cutesy Congresswoman. But she is still the lightest of Congressional lightweights, a cutesy nonentity among entities, her vote counting only on spending and pork projects.

 

To put a finer point on it, where did AOC’s hatred come from? The Squad’s hatred, their apparent hatred of America?

 

I can almost understand the goofy anti-semite Ilhan Omar, the one who supposedly married her brother. Ilhan is a refugee who sought a better life in the America she hates. She was brought up on hatred and used it to achieve power by hating America. Hitler used it to achieve power, too.

 

Hatred wrecks things, people things, relationships, promises, understandings. The United States of America is a people thing, too. 

 

Enough hatred will wreck the United States. That’s the plan. It’s working.

EDIT: Ron DeSantis, on behalf of the State of Florida, DID send a plane to evacuate Americans. Couple other Americans did, too. The USA? Well, not yet. Same for the billionaires. Too busy?

 National Policy Under Biden

It's not really a policy decision but in its absence, it is. 

The US hasn't yet sent planes to evacuate its citizens trapped in Israel. Not its poor, doomed kidnapped citizens, that's a story for another day. 

This is about Americans who are inside Israel and who desperately want to come home. Their lives are in danger. They can't get out because no airline will fly to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. 

TWENTY other countries have already sent in rescue planes to evacuate their citizens. Twenty. Including nations that we might consider "lesser" nations than mighty America. 

Nigeria, for instance. But not the USA. Oh, no. If you're an American citizen trapped in a cellar in Jerusalem, hunker down, boy. "We stand with Israel" doesn't mean we care about you.

This is a perfect opportunity for a presidential candidate to show that "our thoughts and prayers" are not enough. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. 

For those few of you old enough to remember, billionaire H. Ross Perot flew a Boeing 707 full of badly needed supplies to North Vietnam in the middle of a war just to help our POWs. To help them. I'll never forget that gesture of compassion, paid for out of his own pocket.

So Trump, out of your own pocket. DeSantis, on behalf of the State of Florida. Or any American billionaire anywhere. The time has come for you to share your riches. I'm talking to you, Jeff Bezos, and you, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett, Larry Page, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. You each have more than one hundred billion dollars! That's $100,000,000,000 for those of you who don't know how many zeroes it is. 

Okay, ride into space, that's fine and fun. But do something merciful here on earth, too. Help some stranded Americans get home alive. It's not too much to ask. It's one small gesture. 

Charter a plane or two, stock them up, send them over, bring our brothers and sisters home. Our government isn't doing doing it yet, but the need is immediate and critical. You won't even miss the couple hunded thousand dollars it will cost you.
