Over the weekend, Marxists and socialists gathered in Mexico City for a far-left summit. It was sponsored by the Progressive International. In their own words, here is what the Progressive International believes:
- “We aspire to eradicate capitalism everywhere.”
- “Linguistic barriers [national languages] strengthen class domination, white supremacy, and indigenous dispossession.”
- “We recognize that white supremacy is an organizing principle of the world system.”
- “Our demand is full reparations for past crimes [of colonization] and the immediate restoration of land, resources, and sovereignty to all the dispossessed peoples of the world.”
- “Our aim is to break with the patriarchy while disrupting the binary structure of gender on which it relies.”
This is clearly a group that embraces a revolutionary Marxist agenda. It wants to destroy America, the traditional nuclear family, and capitalism. No American should have anything to do with such a radical event.
But so-called “progressive Democrats” were there, including Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Incredibly, however, they’re not the ones making headlines for disloyalty to our country.
At the summit’s opening ceremony, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), who is married to an illegal alien, declared, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.”
Rep. Ramirez took an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” By declaring her loyalty is to Guatemala over America, I believe she violated her oath of office.
An elected official admitting her loyalty is to another country before America is unacceptable! Sadly, proclaiming loyalty to another country does not politically hurt these radical leftists. They are representing areas of the country where such anti-American sentiment runs high.
Ilhan Omar’s district was a hotbed of radical Islamic jihadist recruitment. Clearly, many people in her district don’t love America.
Unfortunately, Omar, Ramirez, and Tlaib are representing many of their voters. The question is why are we allowing so many people who are not loyal to the United States and who don’t share our values into the United States? And why is the Democrat Party so committed to open borders and doing everything possible to prevent illegal aliens from being removed?
The Department of Homeland Security responded to Rep. Ramirez’s anti-Americanism with a quote from Teddy Roosevelt:
“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism… Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.”
