Americans sit in an echo chamber just as bad as those pesky liberals on the coasts. With daily broadcasts of illegal immigrants who want to flood the USA, we are under the WRONG impression that everyone in the world thinks that the USA is the best thing since sliced cheese. It isn't.

We need to stop repeating that the USA is the best Democracy in the world and wake up to the fact that it is an oligarchy that treats the people like sheep to be fleeced, marketed and used. This is primarily due to the fact that our elected leaders have failed us. They have taken a perfectly good Republic and turned it on it's head.

Anyways. Here is an article that says things that you don't want to hear. It's like Donald Trump. He's like the doctor with no bed side manner. He tells you to lose weight, stop smoking and drinking and exercise. You get all angry and yell and stomp out the door. But the fact is, he's the only one who is telling you the truth.

Every single one of these ingrates is more than welcome to leave and return to their ****hole of origin.

Every single one.

Amen to that. To the extent that the USA does suck, it is precisely because of the large number of these foreign ingrates we have overrunning our country like locusts.

1. Wasn’t Winston the name of the man who was resisting “Big Brother” in the book “1984”

2. Sounds like typical Soviet disinformation about the US that the KGB spread throughout the foreign press during the Cold War.

If they live in the SF Bay area, I concur with many of their thoughts. They just haven’t been in small town America.

“Amen to that.“

I don’t know about you but I’m fed up to my back teeth with this hate America crap.

You don’t like it here?

You find our culture shallow and unsuited to your tastes?

Fine.

Get out.

Leave.

Now.

Return to whatever feces filled hole in the Earth you were born in.

Pretty simple.

"We" are? No, "we" are not. YOU may be under the impression that "we" give a flying crap about what Winston and his friends think about living here, but I'm not.

And, yes, it is.

Take each word of this screed and print it in BIG letters on a 100’ wide x 60’ tall piece of concrete. Place on the southern border, with the words facing south. Leftover panels can be placed on our northern border.

BTW - I was just working with a guy - his grandparents came over from Lithuania. His family (and himself) have maintained their culture to a huge degree. My grandparents came over from Norway. They kept some of their culture - but not much.

He mentioned that the Lithunanians were in fear of getting wiped out by the Soviets and exterminated - so they have taken great care in passing down the old names and customs to their third and fourth generations. Makes sense.

We talked about national costumes, traditions, etc. About the only thing I could think of as “American” was cowboy dress, square dances and rodeos. But I wouldn’t call a cowgirl skirt a “national costume” like they have in most other countries.

While that might be too bad, I’d rather take living in America than living in Botswana and having a national costume.

In other words, we are doing them a huge favor by removing them from the US.

I have relatives in Hungary, interesting they decided they liked Communism, and in Germany who love socialism, good for them they can stay there. And anyone who doesn't like it here in America and wants it to be like the country they came from? Go home God Dammit and quit trying to change my country to the one you left.

As far as Trump being the only one telling us the truth? PUHLEASE! President Trump is a politician, just like every other one, he became a politician the day he decided to run. Now, President Trump tells us all the things we want to hear, and even delivers on some of it, but he will, and does prevaricate just like all the rest of the politicians to get the things he wants. When he lies to(to politic we say 'fools') the opposition we cheer him as a great negotiator, but 'we' believe he would never ever lie to us to get what he wants. Yeah right!

“And in fact, foreign visitors and immigrants usually report that the first thing they notice upon arriving in America is that the culture and people seem “fake and superficial”. “

Keep that thought all you worthless a$$holes around the world who have been content since at least the end of WWII, to pi$$ and moan about what a bunch of worthless schlubs we are ( after we kept you all from your worthless hides becoming German lamp shades, or Japanese drink parasols), while you figured out every way possible for America to pay your existence and defense against the Soviet Union and Red China (whom you strangely try to emulate). Europe’s “best and brightest” came here in the 16 and 1700’s leaving a cadre of useless afterbirths masquerading as people to flesh out your citizenry. Personally, if you made me King for a week or two, You’d wish Trump were back, all you Muslim-loving humps!

They think we’re too materialistic, but something tells me they like their smartphones and the pictures our car sends back from Mars.

Our first president George Washington accompanied his sick brother once to the Caribbean in hopes the climate would cure his ailment. Other than that, He never felt the need to travel anywhere outside the United States. I think he understood that the Old World had nothing to add to the New World he and his contemporaries had created.

As Condaleeza Rice once wisely observed during her tenure as Secretary of State, “Europe and the US have different values.” The “Western culture” is not homogeneous. By tradition, essentially to be American is to value liberty, within an orderly society. The rest of the world largely values security, even at the expense of liberty.

It is true, liberty is messier: we have the right to be greedy, self satisfied, homebodies, uninterested in the goings on across the seas— even today in the age of instant communication and quick travel. It also means we have the right to pursue our dreams as far as our energy and talent and a bit of luck will carry us. Not so in large tracts of the Old World.

So when a bunch of foreigners decide they don’t like the way we smell, I say, “Tough. It’s the smell of liberty and it gets strong sometimes. But the alternative is the stench of the death of freedom, the worst smell in the world.”

This is a great place FOR AMERICANS... our love affair with the ‘peoples of the world’ is over. Hopefully all the people who contributed to this piece have packed up and gone back to their homes. Better for them - better for us.

Agreed. Expats are biased, and who’s going to read that entire article?

To think that many Americans gave their lives and others part of their fortunes to help these losers is sickening. Stop ALL foreign aid and foreign defense. Then we’ll see what happens to all these foreign, whining losers.
