Yes, Representative Ilhan Omar Somebody DID Do Something! An Open Letter.
Townhall.com ^ | April 15, 2019 | Kevin McCullough

Posted on 04/15/2019 4:52:57 AM PDT by Kaslin

Rep. Ilhan Omar,

Please stop with the dramatic theatrics. Please also tell your attack hounds Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Rashida Tlaib to stop lying.

Americans publicly disputing your actions and words does not on its face demonstrate a public safety threat towards you. If there is evidence of a specific, valid, and violent threat against you please report such to the appropriate authorities.

Someone in the President’s camp deciding to side-by-side your unfortunate expression with vivid proof of what took place on the worst day in American history is not a threat to you in anyway—except perhaps—and quite appropriately—in your race for re-election.

The tweet and video of your words being interspersed with the falling towers and the smoking Pentagon on that day of horror, is fair, legal, and protected speech. Furthermore it had the benefit of starkly contrasting your lamentable attitude and casual behavior with the cold, vivid truth of the day that saw the American life and psyche change forever.

If you prefer not to be included in such controversy—stop wading into it. No one forced you to take an honorarium from CAIR. Your characterization was callous. Your facts were grossly inaccurate. And your attempt to deflect criticism on to the words of President Bush standing atop the rubble of the towers or the tweeted video of President Trump, when understood in context, reveal to us a continuing picture of who you are in your most core anti-Semitic & anti-American self.

No one in America woke up one day and decided to criticize you out of the blue.

No one in America even knew who you were.

To be clear it is you who has instigated every public relations problem your short public life has dealt with.

No one expressed to you any sort of “requirement” to run for public office. You made that decision. And in doing so you put yourself before the American public for an examination of your beliefs, claims, and past actions.

That you have unsatisfactorily (according to the Associated Press) answered most of the lingering questions as to a past marriage to your brother is not the fault of bloggers in your home state.

That you have (according to ABC News) argued for leniency for American born ISIS agents, (members who were convicted on charges of conspiracy to provide material support for ISIS and to commit murder overseas) is not the fault of any military family who lost heroes in 9/11’s aftermath.

That you have used the most grotesque, racially based, dog-whistle terms to repetitively and frequently express your hatred of Israel, your disgust of “the Jews,” and your allegiance to the terrorist leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, is not the responsibility of Americans who very much view Israel as our most important and deeply valued ally in the Middle East and beyond.

That you took a class on terrorism, was no one’s choice but your own. That you ever publicly revealed it was not the fault of any conservative or supporter of the President. That you chose to mock the way the instructor of that course (according to your description) ascribed a serious tone of voice to the terror group that attacked us on 9/11 was a volitional action on your part. That you then allowed the conversation in which you relayed this “humorous” depiction and chortled heartily while doing so was nothing anyone else did. No self-respecting American would!

That you ever accepted a speaking invitation from CAIR speaks loudly to the absolute foolishness of your morals. That you lied to the audience you spoke to—claiming that they were formed in the aftermath of 9/11 as a response to the massive supposed mistreatment of Muslims everywhere in America is evidence of your willingness to double deal.

That you purposefully uttered the phrase “somebody did something” was a speech writing, editorial decision that had been either pre-written into the text, or summarized on the fly as you felt yourself ramping up the Anti-American energy in the room in the moment.

That you have never apologized for just these offenses signals much to the American people. That you pretend to play victim each time is as pathetic a choice as any that public figures have ever made. That you even attempted to conflate your callous joking with the serious moment of the American President speaking to firefighters, volunteers at Ground Zero, and by extension the American people watching at home was an utterly indulgent and repugnant decision that you will not be allowed to forget.

That you run for cover behind your fellow terrorist sympathizing sisters Tlaib & Ocasio-Cortez is a sign of pure insincerity and cowardice. That you count the terrorist advocate (who has threatened female genital mutilation against American women for merely disagreeing with her) Linda Sarsour a close friend and ally speaks loudly of your priorities.

America is a generous and open nation. We do not discriminate against people on the basis of religion.

But we also don’t allow ourselves to be blinded in sheep-like submission when bad actions, by bad actors, seek to subject us to distinctively un-American ideas.

Public service is an extremely humbling honor for any elected official and the trust one carries with them into their job must consistently reflect that. Sadly it seems most days you represent an ideology or a foreign set of ideas much more so than anything resembling American values.

I do not understand how the people of your district can consistently overlook your overt actions that seek to undermine the fabric of what has made America great.

Your choices, words, and actions consistently run contrary to the soul, intent, and divinely affirmed rights that occupy the body America.

And unless or until genuine repentance for your actions, attitudes, and intentions is evidenced, Americans of genuinely good character will work day and night to oust you from every office, committee, and position that you hold with public trust.

And lest anyone is confused, it will not be based on your religion, the opposition committed to your removal will be based squarely on your incapacity to speak truth, act in the good of the American people, and your inability to restrain your decidedly racist and anti-Semitic worldview.

It never had to come to this, and except for your choices it never would have.

Signed

The American Public

(Who witnessed many “Somebodies Doing Something” in the minutes, hours, days, weeks and years since the Towers fell!)

Old Omar has probably been snipped now her whole damn life is just a series of miserable days. Why I have to view a miserable woman as a moral leader is beyond me, no wonder she sides with a stone aged sex club from the desert.

She turned her back on the very people who helped save her life. She comes out of a clan society. And when people offer help and spit on them you are a disgrace. She was given a safe shelter and she spit on us also. Allah will not be happy with her also.

Exactly. She is trying to turn the situation (she caused BTW) around and play the victim card. Hey Omar, no-one is threatening you, we're educating you.

It wasn't "some people did something."

The "some people" were muslim terrorists. Yes muslim terrorists attacking us for religious reasons, or at least what they thought were their own twisted religious reasons.

Nearly 3000 American died when they "did something." Tens of thousands of families suffered to various degrees. That "did something" kicked off retaliation - so that the instigators could never do such things again. The resultant warfare cost thousands more lives on both sides.

So Omar, when you say "some people did something" you are being insultingly dismissive of an extreme event. You want to represent the Americans in your district, then represent Americans - that's how we view it.

Speaking of which, I don’t recall seeing any kind of follow-up to the story of the nutcase from Rep. Omar’s district who, out of the blue, picked up a small child and tossed him off a 40-foot balcony in a shopping mall.

” You want to represent the Americans in your district, then represent Americans “

She IS representing the voters in her district.
the DFL has held that seat since 1963 (CPVI of D+26)
100% urban
67.39% White
16.64% Black
6.05% Asian
8.81% Hispanic
1.23% Native American

The problem many of us have is the contempt her supporters have for this Great Nation.

No I’m not thankfully. Read the works of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is from Somalia also. And she talk at length about clan life and respect for people who help you. Also I have been 6 Muslim countries 11 times and know something about their 8 century thinking. Think the mafia of Sicily. The clan there has rules. You don’t disrespect the people who help you. You must attach her from her own culture screwed up as it is. Throw it back on them. The Muslim religion will get screwed over by Hollywood and the cellphone. Bringing the latest Hollywood DVD’s was always welcomed. No matter how trashy.

You suspect magua is Muslim because he refers to the actions of "Allah"?

Tell me, what does "Allah" mean?

Romans 1:22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Romans 1:23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
Romans 1:24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie ; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
Romans 1:27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
Romans 1:28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans 1:29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
Romans 1:30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans 1:31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
Romans 1:32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death ; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.

This country already looks like it’s been delivered up to a reprobate sense which is what happens when His patience runs out. ing

A pretty big something which triggered celebrations throughout the Muslim world. Somalia, they celebrate "Black Hawk Down"

Not much different. Jan Schakowsky says it's just a function of her culture which is different than ours. She was defending Omar's antisemitism, disgusting Jan, but her explanation would excuse her contempt for dead Americans as well. It's her culture, stupid.
