Omar Rails Against “Western Imperialism”
Powerline ^ | November 4, 2019 | John Hinderaker

Yesterday Bernie Sanders held a rally on the campus of the University of Minnesota, at which he was introduced by Ilhan Omar. Attorney General Keith Ellison also appeared in support of Sanders’ presidential campaign. The rally was successful, with thousand of adoring far-leftists attending. Omar sounded like an unreconstructed Marxist, calling for “a mass movement of the working class” and assuring her listeners that Sanders will “fight against Western imperialism.” It’s 1969 all over again! This Fox News video has a couple of clips from Omar’s introduction of Sanders, along with commentary by Byron York:

And this is a prime example of why extreme vetting should take place before ANY refugee is allowed asylum

It’s a stupid phrase. At least in terms of US electoral politics goes.

We’ve never built an empire. We’ve never had colonies. The Philippines are probably our closest thing to a “colony” and it wasn’t much of a colony.

Western Imperialism? Go talk to the British. The Belgians. The French. The Dutch.

Our hands are clean.

If the USA were Imperialistic, you’d be back in the sands of your birth, living under jack boot of a US appointed governor... Moron.

We literally have fought, died for and liberated countless millions of people, and I hate to break it to this ignoramus, but the US ended the Age of Empire, when FDR forced Churchill to accept SELF DETERMINATION as part of the North Atlantic Treaty!

MORON.. IGNORANT, RACIST, MORON

“MORON.. IGNORANT, RACIST, MORON”

Doesn’t even begin to describe the hatred she spews.

Ping. Here she is railing against Western imperialism yet in voting against recognizing the Armenian Genocide, gives unbridled Islamic conquest a full pass.

She prefers Islamic imperialism, the wars of the Arab conquests, Iranian imperialism, Russian imperialism, and Chinese imperialism.

The failure of Western Imperialism is that it allows ISIS whores like this to roam the earth free to do their damage to humanity.

Islamists are no better than hegemonic, running dogs.

Since the West is not imperial, she obviously is referring to the fact that Western culture is spreading whereas her culture (Islamic culture) is not.

Someone needs to remind Omar that the reason for this is that Western (Judeo/Christian) culture provides a solid foundation for a successful and productive civilization. And there is NO example in the world of a successful and productive Islamic country or culture.
