American-Hating Americans Are the Ultimate Ingrates and Hypocrites
Once again, Trump stands up for Americans who love their country.

With his usual flair for hyperbole and indifference to factual details, Donald Trump last week tweet-blasted the so-called “Squad†of female freshman Congressmen “of color†for slandering America as racist, sexist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, and numerous other empty epithets. Though Trump was careless for suggesting, “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they cameâ€â€“–since only one, Ilhan Omar, was born abroad––his sentiment is still valid, and has been shared for decades by millions of Americans angry over their homeland being demonized by immigrants and fellow citizens alike.
This sentiment was memorably captured by country singer Merle Haggard in his hit “Fightin’ Side of Me.†Released in December 1969, the song expressed the anger of the “Silent Majority†that had just put Richard Nixon in the White House. And the lyrics identified who Americans were angry at: the free, comfortable New Leftists, college students, bougie hippies, and liberal elite fellow-travelers who burned the American Flag, slandered our soldiers as baby-killers, and called their country “AmeriKKKa.†Haggard especially targeted the antiwar activists who insulted our troops even as they were fighting and dying, and who “love our milk and honey†but “preach about some other way of livin’.†Sound familiar?
