Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has a heated exchange with Elliot Abrams, the U.S. special envoy to Venezuela, highlighting his role in the Iran-Contra affair. She says, "I fail to understand why members of this committee or the American people should find any testimony you give today to be truthful." The exchange came during a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. Full video here: cs.pn/2E8mXwn

@@fleebertreatise1063 Islam has caused its own problems.

Why on earth should anyone trust, respect and embrace such people. To be trusted, one must act in a trustworthy manner and embrace the culture that one has chosen to live under.

@Da Prince This is her response later: "You said, 'Some people did something,' and he put it right there on his T-shirt," Brennan said on Sunday of Haros. "Do you understand why people found that offensive?" "9/11 was an attack on all Americans," Omar responded. "It was an attack on all of us. And I certainly could not understand the weight of the pain that the victims of the families of 9/11 must feel." So it was a callous way to talk about it, but it was related to how many communities were blamed or shamed for something they had nothing to do with.

I just disagree strongly with them and think that their solutions and ideas are not the right ones. Why do you have to pretend like we are out to get you? There is evil in the world, but to find it you should look into what happened in Indonesia, East Timor, El Salvador, Argentina, in the 60's and 70's. Mass killings in these countries (and others) were caused by extreme anti-communism. What do you think about that? Edit: There are many other instances of evil, for example in most communist countries and the Nazi regime. I'm talking here about conflicts very few people have heard about.

[@cablebrain9691]

@@fleebertreatise1063 Everyone should be extreme anti-communism. Why do you think that people run from it? From Webster's Dictionary: "What exactly is communism? When it was first used in the mid-19th century, communism referred to an economic and political theory that advocated the elimination of private property and the common sharing of all resources among a group of people; in this use, it was often used interchangeably with the word socialism. Today, the word communism usually refers to the political and economic ideologies originating from Karl Marx's theory of revolutionary socialism, which advocates a proletariat overthrow of capitalist structures within a society; societal and communal ownership and governance of the means of production; and the eventual establishment of a classless society. What countries are communist? The countries of China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and North Korea are the existing countries typically identified as being communist." You could try living in one of those countries if you really like communism. Too bad East Germany and The Soviet Union are no longer in existence, then you'd have more options.
