Desert Tale
Number 1, Volume 7
Lack of Lexicon
When Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) the first Palestinian American woman in Congress, stated publicly at a rally: “Don’t you ever, ever, let anybody take away your roots, your culture, who you are, ever. Because when you hang on to those things, people love you and you win. And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Mama, look. You won. Bullies don’t win.’ “And I said, ‘Baby, they don’t, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach that mother------.”
I was quite shocked, not only because of the vulgar vocabulary and course rhetoric to impeach an American president, but confused as to what she intended to accomplish with her coarseness, and amazed at her lack of lexicon. First, there is no such word in the English language as “gonna.” The correct grammar is: we are going to. Second, she is setting a bad example to her son by using profanity. And third, I was saddened to see her uncultured behavior as a Muslim woman. Instead of properly arguing her democratic point of view she lowered herself to the bottom of the political well, and exchanged her religion for fanatical hatred.
She talks about never abandoning her roots. I thought she was elected as an American ready to resolve contemporary problems to make this a better society. Obviously not. The Muslim fanatics will stop at nothing because they have nothing to lose. She expects civilized people to accept her ways, but she is very wrong. Reasonable people of any culture will unite to live in peace and fight evil regardless of their religion.
Tolerant Spain opened its gates to 20 million Muslims and in return for its hospitality got stupidity, ignorance, religious extremism, and lack of their assimilation and crime and poverty. Spain was trying to prove that they had been cured of the disease of racism yet their experiment failed. We must learn from the mistakes made by now miserable Europe.
You cannot use logic and reason with corrupt minds because those with the agenda to wipe Israel off this earth interpret our patience and kindness as weakness. America was founded on Judeo-Christian thought and we must preserve this country as it was founded, not by closing the barn door after the horse of the Apocalypse has run out because history has taught us that later is too late.
Rep. Tlaib owes an apology to the President of the United States, and humble herself before a free country and give thanks to her Allah for being given an opportunity to voice her misguided opinions.
