Iranian-American Hoda Katebi May Not Be ‘American Enough’ For Some (Video)
February 22, 2018
Wowwww. You know how when you were a kid, your parents taught you what to say aloud and what NOT to say? Even if it is what you are thinking?
An Iranian-American woman was told she didn’t “sound like an American†on live TV.

NO! We cannot continue to allow people call our people’s, Americans’, citizenship… loyalty… whatever… into question because they do not think it lines up with what they think Americans should think, look like, sound like, etc.
She is Iranian-American. Ethnic heritage of Iran; citizen of the United States. End of debate. Unless you want to be ignorant about it and believe that only some American citizens are ‘real Americans.’
That is ‘Murica, folks. That is NOT America. America is FREE. America is TOUGH. America, if we are to believe it actually is the ‘beacon on the hill’ we proclaim it to be… MUST be better than ‘Murica.

Comedy: Stephen Colbert Says, “Don’t Move To Canada Just Yet!” (Video)
November 14, 2016
File this under laugh-to-keep-from-crying. But it is actually funny. Classic Colbert. It’s actually a monologue of hope… as America is on the verge of being made ‘great again.’ Like it or not, Donald J. Trump is the President Elect. But hey, this is what many American voters wanted. And the rest of us… we will endure. Together. We must! So don’t go running for border, eh. Stay.
Sure, they’ve got free healthcare up there. But being an American citizen is like family: you’re in it whether you like it or not.
Watch and take heart, Colbert Nation. We will be okay.
