The Intifada Comes to America

“Death to America!” We are used to that chant. Maybe too used to it.
If you are old enough, you heard it in 1979 during the Iranian hostage crisis when supporters of Ayatollah Khomeini invaded the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.
But now it is closer to home. In fact, the chant of “Death to America” is being heard on American soil, and it is being written off by some naive commentators as First Amendment-protected speech. No big deal. We were told by a Supreme Court justice once that the Constitution is not a suicide pact, but if so, then how can we tolerate the anti-American rhetoric of thousands of newcomers as “free speech” when their goal is plainly the destruction of America?
Welcome to the global intifada, yet another disastrous result of the Biden administration’s porous border and feckless foreign policy.
Intifada refers specifically to two separate uprisings of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank over the past four decades, but more broadly, it pertains to the continued resistance of the Palestinians to the existence of Israel. When they shout “Death to Israel,” they mean it. It should be a top priority of Congress now to determine whether they mean it when they shout “Death to America.”
The rise of pro-Palestinian hatred in the United States should not be a surprising development to anyone. Even before President Biden opened the southern border to millions of unvetted “newcomers,” as the global elites like to call the invaders, there has been a reckless U.S. policy going back two decades to resettle Muslim refugees from Iraq, Libya, Somalia, and Afghanistan in the U.S. heartland. And because immigration policy no longer treats assimilation as a worthwhile goal, many of those refugees are loyal to their homeland and their religion much more than to the nation that offered them safety and security.
I suppose that is an inevitable result of the globalist agenda of border dissolution and the merging of disparate populations for the purpose of sharing wealth and assuaging billionaires’ guilt.
But it is only inevitable if the rest of us tolerate it.

I wonder if the fbi and IC are using the renewed patriot act to dig up these "americans" travel , cell phone and social media histories for their inevitable arrest, unconstitutional detainment and prosecutions for threatening "death to America".
This all seems rather coordinated and insurrectiony, don't you think?

But those freedoms do not include absolute freedom from any and all consequences. Only from the State.
So in a government by the people, for the people you are not free from consequences from the people....
... so put poison on those rubber bullets (intifada style) and let 'em rip.

Everyone should be saying it, but it should be Death to DC.

I love this country but I hate the government

Remember who Biden and this administration say is the greatest terrorist threat to America, and you know that their opinion has not changed.

“White supremacy … is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland,” Biden said.

It's happening in Blue states. So, I couldn't care less. The people in those states voted for it. If it comes to my Red state, I'll concern myself more with it.

Nah, they'd rather look at anti-abortion protestors and conservatives.

These slime balls vote the “correct” way therefore they will get a pass.

I vehemently disagree with "Death to America" if its directed towards the American people and their way of life.
I can however, see validity in "death to American hegemony". The same uber powerful government that has trouble operating within its mandated boundaries within the U.S. borders, doesn't even have minimal controls overseas.
The State Department buys and sells politicians at its whim and someone in their wisdom thinks they are best suited to decide the fate of millions of people, with little accountability. The 20+ year failed experiment in Afghanistan is clear evidence of such meddling, where the leaders who had local support were not allowed to govern by the U.S., and our puppets were put in power. The result is self evident.
And rather than learning their lesson, now the state department is meddling in Pakistan, over turning an elected government and supporting fraudulent elections (IMO if the Biden administration can do it there, it gives more credence to those who say they stole the 2020 elections from Trump).
So yeah, the American Hegemony, which doesn't represent the American people or their best interests, has to stop.

We had friends in Auburn that were Iranian. They agreed with the take over .....
I reminded them ....Keep quiet and keep it yourselves .....Some of these Good Ole Boys, can take you into the woods and no one will see or hear from you again.
I agree that the US should do exactly what Jordan, Egypt and the Saudi's do ....Stay the hell away the Palestinians .....No one likes them very mush.

Cause blue state shite never makes its way to Red states with more momentum than your eventual concern.
This is happening in America, so should concern everyone cause you aren't going to stop shite once it hits that slippery slope. They'll file lawsuits to set precedent in certain favorable blue states and your Red State "leaders" won't do shite about it. Imagine thinking Meemaw is going to stand up to these terrorists.
I'm sure you are the same that saw no issues with gays getting married because it doesn't affect you none.

I've been saying this for over a decade - even back to the years I was in uniform - America has fallen. But, as America was this massive, incredibly powerful leviathan, it is taking some years for the corpse to hit the ground.
But, the "Great Thud" is coming, of that I have little doubt.

Don't worry, the fbi is on it.

I don’t know if anyone remembers the band Rage against the machine but in the song “killing in the name of” they had a line with the lyrics:
“Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.”
Replace crosses with the American flag.

Really? You're equating gay marriage with this Intifada crap? Wow. What an asinine comparison.
So, it's been legal now for 10 years. How has gay marriage harmed you?
