Lily Tang Williams, an American citizen who immigrated from China, told "Fox & Friends" on Saturday in response to the video. "They remind me of my past, living in communist China for 23 years, and I was indoctrinated to believe everything the government told me and that Chairman Mao [Zedong] told me."

Good on ya, Lily.

Yo, Faux News, forget those "students". Go ask the business owners who came here from other countries what they think of America.

In order to bring this once-great country down, they first have to get everybody hating it.

Send them all to Cuba for a year.

They might have a relapse so don't let them back in.

That figures. I’ve been banned by both around 20 times. Matter of fact I was banned again last week by Twitter for calling Alexandria Ocasio Cortez a moron. Can’t mention facts on Twitter otherwise you get shut down.

She is a moron though. WHY is the Biden occupation taking advice from a woman who was working as a bartender 7 years after graduating college? She couldn’t make it in the private sector because she’s STUPID, yet the Biden occupation is taking advice from her on subjects ranging from policing, crime prevention, Israel and climate change all of which she has ZERO experience in.

They need to be sent to some sh#thole third world country for just one month.

Tell them they won a free field trip to an anonymous socialist run European country and load them up.

Why are people so readily evangelized to the gospel of anti-Americanism while so hardened to the gospel of Christ?

“I’ll put my flag out today, but it will be the 13-star flag.”

You have given me something to put on my shopping list for this weekend.

I completely agree with you about not being ashamed to be an American but not being proud of it either these days.

Someone at work put up our department’s homepage something about how we should take time out this weekend to have a picnic or see fireworks and not take our freedoms for granted. This person is a known NPR listener/reader.

There was so much I wanted to post in the way of a reply.

Where at least I know I'm free.

Uh ... we are still free, right?

School kids of all ages and young people that facebook, you tube, tiktok etal, are constantly inundated with socialistic, communistic, anti-American, anti-Christian views, that it is all they "know".

We are living a hyper-version of 1984 that is gummint as well as education and media driven... Black is White; truths are lies; right is wrong; up is down.

May God have mercy on our souls, we have corrupted the greatest human experiment ever tried.

Free men. It is over.

On this July 4th, we can celebrate and remember what was, but unless there is some dramatic event, it is over.

By the way, God bless Campus Reform and also College Fix for their good work. Without them stories would sink into oblivion even faster. Their staff are doxed, banned, canceled and physically threatened often. they give up all hope of jobs with top NY and LA publications someday.

Too bad this isn’t a free country.

Just ask if they can say “I love America”.

There are 2 sets of commie libs.

A). Cannot say “I love America”
B). Say “I love America, BUT….” (full of qualifications; and the love part is usually a defensive whine)

To the blessed Chinese lady: many of us real Americans would GLADLY trade those self-flagellating American traitors for Chinese yearning to breathe free.

As in this article?

The point is to see how many hateful jackass traitors there are.

Which most of us already know.

Here is a big part of the problem in this story -

...a reporter ...walked around Georgetown asking young people in the area whether they were proud to be American and whether the United States is the greatest country in the world.

1. Think of the average Georgetown student; are they normal?

2. Think of the average student or young person at Georgetown who's there IN THE SUMMER. Are they average?

3. Think of the average young person being polled in the afternoon/not working...are they normal?

4. Think of the average person who'd agree to be interviewed by some random reporter. Are they normal?

Almost by design, this reporter has biased her outcome. OF COURSE she's going to get a govt-loving, anti-American, self-centered/conceited, unemployed GenZer. It's like a reporter asking someone at Woodstock if they think pot should be decriminalized or a rioter last summer what they think about Trump.

Indeed, if the reporter is in D.C., SHE may have some baggage too. If we had a reporter ask this question of anyone in a random town of 15,000 in say Kansas, we likely wouldn't get this depression-porn.

Yes, one can say “not proud now…not with all these America-hating traitors in our midst”. But “very proud of our past”.

I’ve said the same about Maryland for years now.
