Hating the Country That Privileges Them

Joe Biden: Totalitarian. The BFD. Illustration by Lushington Brady.

We’re grimly familiar with the sort in Australia and New Zealand. Every January 26 or February 6, they pop up, like so many whining, nagging groundhogs looking for the shadow of imaginary oppression.

Naturally, America has them, too. Extraordinarily privileged people who ignore the astonishing gifts their nation has bestowed on them. For these entitled whingers, everything, everything is viewed through the lens of imaginary oppression. The more elite they are, they harder they try and pretend to be downtrodden.

Not everyone is buying their bullshit.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday ripped into Rep. Cori Bush as spreading “hateful, divisive lies” when she tweeted that the Fourth of July is only about freedom for white Americans.

“When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people, the Missouri Democrat said on social media Sunday.

Cruz (R-Texas) slammed her remarks, likening her comments to former football quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

“Hateful, divisive lies. The Left hates America. Believe them when they tell you this. Two years ago, Colin Kaepernick tried to spread the same lies on July 4. I responded with the wisdom of the great abolitionist Frederick Douglas,” Cruz tweeted on Monday.

In that case, Cruz responded with the part of Douglas’s speech that the bleating ignoramus, Kaepernick, neglected: Douglas praised “the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions”.

Contemporary black Americans are also taking issue with Bush’s unhinged hatred of America.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), an African-American Republican congressman, said he felt Bush’s tweet was “outlandish,” adding he does not believe the majority of the black community agreed with her sentiments.

“First of all, yes, July 4, Independence Day, is to celebrate the freedom of this nation from British tyranny. That is the purpose of the celebration. We should all celebrate that. Number two, black people are free in America. That is what has happened since 1865. That is the state of play in 2021 America. So, I look at her tweet, I shake my head, I don’t agree, and to be truthful, most black people just don’t agree with that. And most people don’t agree with that,” he said during an appearance on Fox News.

“We live in the greatest country in the world. More black people have accomplished and achieved more wealth here in the United States than any other country in the world. We should actually celebrate that and celebrate, frankly, the birth of the greatest nation man has ever known Everybody knows it is outlandish. It is ridiculous. That tweet just makes no sense at all. It flies in the face of the reality that the vast majority of Americans — frankly all Americans — see every single day.”

What’s also notable is that the ninnies who so hate America, Australia and New Zealand aren’t in any hurry to move somewhere presumably more congenial to their worldview.

And House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) argued that Bush doesn’t “realize how amazing American freedom really is,” in a quote tweet.

“If you think so low of America, there are plenty of other countries to live in. Maybe you’ll come to realize how amazing American freedom really is,” he said.

I suggest a holiday, not perhaps in Cambodia, but certainly in China, North Korea, or the Congo.

Or perhaps Libya. There, they’ll happily give whining Americans a taste of what actual slavery is really like.
