Congressional Disappointment

 

I heard the other day that a female member of Congress who was not born in the USA, said that this country was one of the worst countries in the entire world.

I don't know what came before her comment nor do I know what came after her comment, but I am sure she was talking about something; still, the logic behind a statement like this is clearly incorrect.

Additionally, why would any member of Congress make a point of telling the media that this country was so terrible?  

What does she hope to achieve?

• Is this one of the worst countries in the world because a majority of Americans do not agree with her political views?
• Is this one of the worst countries in the world because a majority of Americans do not share her religious beliefs?
• Is this one of the worst countries in the world because there are more wealthy people here in this country than there were in the country she left?

 

My first blush comment for this member of Congress is that if she hates this country so bad, then why does she remain in the USA bitching about how bad it is???

At 77 years of age (78 next month), I have seen this country go through good and bad times, but I never thought or even considered it to be one of the worst countries in the world and not only have I spent time in numerous other countries, but I lived in Cairo, Egypt for four years.

Just our FREEDOMS ALONE, makes this one of the best countries, if not the best country in the world today.  I would be willing to bet that if this female congressperson went back to her country and made the same comment about her country while serving in an elected position that she would be thrown in jail immediately.

I don't know for sure, but I can imagine that might happen...
