Why we progressives love Omar

Because we love our country and that love requires we try to correct it when it's wrong. And we love Omar because she speaks out about  "U.S. imperialism -- and against our essential imperial partners in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia and Israel. Americans are so deeply dipped in U.S. military triumphalism -- including our 'entertainment' and our political culture (Republican AND Democratic) -- that it shocks us when we hear someone speak the unvarnished truth about what our imperial juggernaut is doing to other peoples and regions around the world. This brave young member of Congress is trying to wake up America to how we're seen by most of the world."
