Speaker Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

[rjs330]

If you don't like what's happening here why don't you be the one to move?

There's no place to go. That's why you should leave. You have a place to go. Only America is America. Only America has the freedom it does. Only America has the Constitution. So, if you or others dont like it you should go somewhere that you do like. America is unique in the world. Its her exceptionlism, that has made it into the greatest and most prosperous and powerful nation on earth. Its Constitution is what has made it the freeist nation in the world. The one that everyone is trying to break into the country to join.

Europe is part of the western world and has played its part in developing the world. But it is different. Which I'm okay with. Be different. Be whatever you want to be.

America is okay too, and the left should leave America be and not try to make it into something we already have in the world.

 

[rjs330]

Nah I'm good. I'm sticking around.

Sorry.

Rhats fine, but don't be surprised if we won't just roll kver because you want America to be Europe.

 

[7thKeeper]

Only America has the freedom it does.

... Which are?

 

[Stopped_lurking]

I cant think of anything that Europe does better than America in its governance. If you really want Europe, you should move there.

What is Europe's governance? There are not many things that are similar in Belarus and Sweden, governance-wise.

 

[rjs330]

There are far too many of the people involved in the No Kings protests who are vile, terrible people. They were calling for the death including the beheading if the president, the murder of Miller and Homan. They were celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk and mocking Erica Kirk. Yeah, they were awful people who was hateful and celebrating the assassination of their opponents. I saw video of an adult holding an effigy of Trump.while a young kid stabbed it over and over again. Then a dude in Chicago calling for ICE agents to be shot. Disgusting. This is far too many on the left today. Yeah, they love America all right. Burning American flags, waving Mexican and Palestinian flags.

Can you imagine what the media would be saying if this occurred at a Trump rally just once instead of over and over again all over the country?

Yet the maintenance stream media is silent on this. Yeah, these are not lovers of America.

 

[FAITH-IN-HIM]

Many of them do. They don't like America, they make all kinds of claims about how horrible of a country it was and is. America is on stolen land, America was built on slavery, America is still a systemically racist country etc etc. There is very little they like about America. Thats why they are constantly trying to make it more like Europe, because for some reason they believe Europe is better.

The history of the United States includes the occupation and settlement of land previously inhabited by Indigenous peoples. European settlers arrived and established colonies on this land against the will of the local people. Over 2.5 million enslaved people lived in the United States at one time; while they were not the only contributors to the development of the nation, their efforts played a significant role in building the country.

I don't think those who raise these points are the problem; it sounds more like you dislike American history and want to distort the truth. It seems your issue is with American history.

 

[FAITH-IN-HIM]

Exactly. Thats my point. Europe isn't America and America isn't Europe. If you want Europe, you should go live there. I'm not saying Europe is bad. Ive been there many times and enjoyed the visits. Its just different. Its not better. If anyone thinks it is, they should go live there.

America has a lot of things in its Constitution that Europe does not have. It has a lot of rights that Europe does not have.

You keep suggesting that individuals who disagree with the American system should relocate elsewhere. It appears you may have some confusion regarding the principles of democracy. In a democratic system, citizens possess the authority to influence and shape their nation according to their collective will. In contrast, only authoritarian regimes compel people to leave because they seek alterations in governance.

Many of them do. They don't like America, they make all kinds of claims about how horrible of a country it was and is. America is on stolen land, America was built on slavery, America is still a systemically racist country etc etc. There is very little they like about America. Thats why they are constantly trying to make it more like Europe, because for some reason they believe Europe is better.

People who love America want to make it better for all.
People who hate America want to end the ACA, Social Security, environmental and food protections, medical research, education for children with special needs. People who hate America want America without a heart or soul.

That is why it is amenable.

Liked your comment but I think you mean amendable. .

 

[rjs330]

The history of the United States includes the occupation and settlement of land previously inhabited by Indigenous peoples.

See America is bad because it was colonialist white people who stole the land.

Over 2.5 million enslaved people lived in the United States at one time; while they were not the only contributors to the development of the nation, their efforts played a significant role in building the country.

Yes, thank you for proving my point. Distorting not just American History, but also world history. The indigenous people you are concerned about didnt own the land and stole it from each other and enslaved, murdered and raped and tortured each other.

And America was not built on the backs of slaves. You are once again distorting history in favor of the America is a terrible nation propeganda. Sounds like you don't like America either.

 

[ViaCrucis]

Rhats fine, but don't be surprised if we won't just roll kver because you want America to be Europe.

And don't expect me to roll over just because I want a better America where all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

I'd sooner die than let fascists destroy this nation.

[FAITH-IN-HIM]

He has no idea. He read in right-wing media that Europe lacks freedom, and keeps repeating it.

Tea party rally with different effigys.

 

[rjs330]

People who hate America want to end the ACA,

See people who hate America want it to be more like Europe.

Social Security, environmental and food protections, medical research, education for children with special needs.

Nobody wants to end any of that.

People who hate America want America without a heart or soul.

I don't think you guys want an America without a heart and soul at all. And neither do we, who love America and dont want it to be like Europe.

 

[rjs330]

And don't expect me to roll over just because I want a better America where all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

I'd sooner die than let fascists destroy this nation.

-CryptoLutheran

Its a good thing we are on the same page then. Cause we don't want facists destroying this nation either. We also don't want socialists or communists doing it either.

And America was not built on the backs of slaves. You are once again distorting history in favor of the America is a terrible nation propeganda. Sounds like you don't like America either.

As an American, I accept both the positive and negative aspects of our country's history. I recognize that European settlers occupied North America, often against the wishes of Indigenous peoples, and I accept the reality that millions of enslaved individuals were forced to labor in the United States.

I acknowledge the history of systemic racism that persisted within the American system for many years, including periods such as Jim Crow. I recognize that segregation was a shameful chapter in American history, and that the establishment of Japanese internment camps was unjustifiable. While American forces were liberating Jews from concentration camps in Europe, the United States was simultaneously placing Japanese Americans in internment facilities at home.

My appreciation for America encompasses an honest acceptance of its achievements and its shortcomings alike. I love America with all her strengths and her flaws.

It seems your dislike of American history is so strong that you want to change American history. That’s not genuine love for the country; true patriotism means accepting and loving it with all her strength and shortcoming.

 

[Aryeh Jay]

If Speaker Johnson is upset by his mistaken belief that protesters "hate America," then he should use his position to make America a country that we can love and be proud of.

He's trying, but the Democrats refuse to leave the country.

 

[Aryeh Jay]

1) Healthcare
2) Wages
3) Democracy

If I ever catch you complaining about things in America, say transgender issues or something, I'll let you know that if you want a more repressive government then you can always move to Saudi Arabia.

-CryptoLutheran

How so on #3 Democracy? The United States had an election in November 2024 and the people who could take the time and responsibility to vote did so. It's not like Trump was some unknown candidate, everyone knew what was comming. "I didn't vote and I'm unhappy with the results!"

 

[Desk trauma]

He's trying, but the Democrats refuse to leave the country.

How unamerican of them.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

There are far too many of the people involved in the No Kings protests who are vile, terrible people.

Do you know any, personally? Over 7 million people went out. I would hope you know and talk to at least one person that disagrees with you irl.

They were calling for the death including the beheading if the president, the murder of Miller and Homan. They were celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk and mocking Erica Kirk. Yeah, they were awful people who was hateful and celebrating the assassination of their opponents. I saw video of an adult holding an effigy of Trump.while a young kid stabbed it over and over again. Then a dude in Chicago calling for ICE agents to be shot. Disgusting. This is far too many on the left today. Yeah, they love America all right. Burning American flags, waving Mexican and Palestinian flags.

And yet with 7 million people in the streets it was so peaceful we have people on here calling it a geriatric gathering of old white liberals.

Can you imagine what the media would be saying if this occurred at a Trump rally just once instead of over and over again all over the country?

Have you seen a Trump rally? They’re an absolute hate fest. Not a single unifying message at all at any of these many, many rallies he’s held over the years.

Yeah, these are not lovers of America.

So what?

I can say Trump fans are the true haters of America and everything we stand for. It’s a meaningless statement.

I saw none of what you are describing at all the No King protests around the country.

Looking it up, there was a single sign by one guy calling for the beheading of Trump, and there was one single sign carried by one man calling for ICE agents to be shot.

Using the same bias and hate shown in your post toward the left and commenting on the right - 'The right plans to assassinate Hakeem Jefferies' or some other major generalization. Or I would look at the image below and read the articles and think that all the right are white supremacists and hate-filled extremists wanting to burn black churches down. But that is an ugly generalization - like the comments in your post.

Try sticking to facts and not rants about the left.
