I am sympathetic to all oppressed people...even those in the Middle East. But this?...this is too much.

To wear a Palestinian flag to a victory celebration in an American election? This happened during the primary, NOT LAST NIGHT, but still. I mean, I don't mind people being proud of the heritage, and they can even "celebrate it" at home, but to be this public about another nation having your loyalty as you prepare to go "serve" the people of THIS country? To me, that definitely sends a wrong message.

Check out this article:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/11/newly-elected-muslim-congresswoman-rashida-tlaib-wore-palestinian-flag-at-primary-victory-celebration/

And, here is a brief excerpt:

"Democrat Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib was draped in a Palestinian flag as she celebrated her primary victory with supporters in August. On Tuesday night Tlaib handily won with over 90 percent of the vote the general election for Michigan’s 13th Congressional District seat vacated by John Conyers’ resignation last December. Video taken of Tlaib’s victory speech for the August 7th primary showed an emotional Tlaib being embraced by her Palestinian mother,Fatima Elabed, who took the flag off her daughter and draped it on her own shoulders. No American flag was seen in video taken of Tlaib’s speech. Tlaib is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America."

I am tired of HYPHENATED AMERICANS, period. IMHO, anyone who wants to celebrate another nationality above being an American should really go home to that other nation and celebrate it there. I am also TOTALLY against these caravan participants for the same reasons. Half of them are wearing the colors or flags of another country, and marching here and ILLEGALLY trying to force entry into THIS country. I just don't see it.

AND, don't feel smug, you Israeli dual loyalists. Just because you don't wear an Israeli flag around doesn't mean these words don't include you. You do plenty of other things to prove your real loyalties lie elsewhere, also. Same goes for ANTIFA and any group that "celebrates" or practices ideological/government views which are opposed to those on which this country was founded. There are plenty of other places you can be if you don't like the way this society was set up and operates. No on is forcing you to stay here.

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.

That's right.

Now I said it...

....and I mean it.

P.S. I also, as a lifelong Boston Red Sox was not happy about their rookie manager (Alex Cora) making this more about Puerto Rico than the City of Boston and the New WEngland region. He repeatedly called his native island "my country" in interviews this year before leading the Sox to the World Series Title, and is down in Puerto Rico with BOSTON's trophy right now, celebrating there. I know most other Sox fans are just fine with that, but I don't live in Massachusetts where they just re-elected Pocahontas easily, either.
