Rep. Omar: she's at it again and its becoming harder, ya know, to afford her the benefit of the doubt. Her criticism of Israel, done of her own volition, puts one in mind of the old saw - "if it quacks like a duck. . . ." Ok but she's approaching incredibility in her smirking, Brer Rabbity disclaimers of antisemitism. Within the last couple of days she has sneered at the notion that her criticism of the Jewish State stems from anything other than that "entity's" proven and incomparable perfidy . She pleads her innocence of personal prejudice in her choice of public opposition to Israel, arguing that it is Israel's actions which make her snide references inevitable.
Antisemitism: simply one of the oldest and historically condemned - monstrous and subhuman in its enactment - of injustices.
We have within living memory compelling evidence of the consequences of failure to oppose "persons" who expressed concerns analogous to Rep. Omar's obvious, ehhh, fixation on Jewish Israel.
Her family are refugees from Somalia, yes? When people endure the indescribable hardships of flight from their homes because of unendurable oppression and travel in anguish, uncertainty, discomfort and poverty to strange cold places, there must be something very compelling motivating them to do so. But this motivation appears to have had little effect on Rep. Omar. Rather it is Israel which excites her. Has she been there? If so, was she wronged? Has she fought against Israeli forces? If so, why? Has she considered how one as assertive as she would be treated in Somalia? Somehow, I think not.
What drives her? Why, could it be just plain, visceral , yes, antisemitism?
Perish the thought, says Nancy Pelosi ; rather, consider all forms of destructive disdain save those approved by our unassailable righteousness to be, by definition, justified. Oh, maybe Rep. Omar erred but LOOK at all the other forms of "hate", why just look at them!
I comment on Rep. Omar in this way because she is integral to my consequent comments:
In 1994 Newt Gingrich hamstrung the Clintons' administration with his Contract with America. The Dems clearly now offer an analogous though not as honest implied contract in their undeniable radical swing to the unabashed left. Here is what they promise therein:
"That AOC and Rep. Omar and their devotees will be afforded limitless deference and leeway for their impetuous declarations of condemnation for virtually all that everyday Americans value, we affirm and as our power grows to be total, that they will guide us. No, we will not presently surrender to them actual authority over our party but be patient , be patient, they are close at hand. The years will not be much and will pass quickly and then the "fundamental transformation" will be realized. We are the means by which you may bring this to reality simply by voting for us. After that, we will trouble you no more and you may retire into listless subjectivity - after all, that's all you want isn't it? Oh, leave it all to us!"
That the Dems offer us this contractual arrangement becomes more obvious every day. Jack

All I can say is...let it all hang out, Omar! Few people are contributing more to Trump's re-election than she is.
Dr. Waddy: Upon reflection I see I have missed the point. Surely the millenium has arrived and Reps Omar and AOC bid us embrace it. All forms of imposed human misery have been alleviated, everywhere, save in the U.S. and Israel. Having witnessed the encirclement and apparently final extirpation of ISIS, Reps Omar and AOC are determined to effect the final solution to the intolerable continued existence of these remaining islands of atavistic oppression. (Well, perhaps the comparison to the fall of ISIS is lost on them; they may have had a good cry about that).
Why, how unjust of us to ascribe to the Young Turks of the Dems any motive other than unassailable virtue and to foresee in their actions any benefit to the President's reelection.
