America The Beautiful

A few things I noticed have disappeared from our pop culture. "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" or Superman's "Truth, Justice AND the American Way." This is a global market thing, but has slowly made America less significant. This is due to President Barack Obama's 8 years in a society that went completely social media. It's not to say Obama wasn't American or did things FOR America, he certainly wasn't America first. And that's something President Trump has embraced. Whether you believe his rhetoric or not, it's a pretty simple question as to where his allegiance lies. Because America has given him so much. Even then, in today's social media world, it is left to doubt. Because of conspiracy theories or whatever. Let's call it "propaganda" for now.
We have recently added Muslims into our state's representatives. They're all, obviously, from liberal cities. A few circumvented the system to win. They are also women. In Arab countries, the Muslim woman would never have these levels of rights. Shit, in Saudi Arabia they just RECENTLY allowed women the right to have a driver's license. That's how old school these countries are. Yet, they have a voice in America. And that voiced is questioned. And people are outraged.
Simply put, if someone asks me who my allegiance to, it isn't Buddha, Jesus, or Allah, it's the United States of America. Some Fox news lady got in trouble for asking a simple questions, "does your religion come first?" The answer better be "no" Instead, Muslim lady was insulted which made Fox have to issue a notice that they were outraged and pulled this lady from her show for a little bit. Not sure why this move.
It's not an offensive question, nor is it wrong. Though, I admit, this is borderline paparazzi level questioning rather than journalism. Which is the problem with Leftist media today. It's all agenda based activist. No one truly just reports news anymore.

So, it really sucks that there are those in America who don't take their pride for the country to heart. It is a land that has saved us from starvation. And where our poverty is a joke compared to the country this Muslim lady comes from (a refugee from Somalia...as if she shouldn't feel the sickening gratitude to America). This is the new ungrateful Americans, and why a LOT of other Americans consider them invaders rather than citizens. Also, most of her gripes are about how America deals with international policies rather than...say the state she represents. Nice going.

It is a testament to America, that they accept this Muslim lady as a new leader. Yet, always surprise that that wasn't good enough. Here's the statement I would make (say if I were her). "America has given me so much and I am eternally grateful. I do my best to represent the people who have faith in America. Because this country is great and took a poor refugee like me in and gave a future."
Instead...all she has is that outrage we're now familiar with.
Get real lady. It's clear her allegiance isn't American based. But who knows if that's the new norm. But in case you want to know how Trump gets another 4 years, this is one reason.
