Two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-russia-ukraine-war-of-2022-the-end-of-the-beginning\/\" title=\"The Russia \u2013 Ukraine War of 2022: The End of the Beginning?\">sides emerge<\/a>: one criticizing America \u2064and the West, while the other \u2064supports \u200bthem. Amidst the argument, individuals must choose where they stand regarding the American president and \u2064the American people. The narrative reflects a deep-rooted disdain towards America and its values, highlighting contrasting ideologies within society.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When it comes to the college protesters roiling America\u2019s campuses and roiling America more generally, it\u2019s time for Americans, and particularly their political class, to pick a side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are only two sides to this particular argument. One side despises America and the West, and the other side really likes America and the West. That binary decision is not particularly tough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is happening on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-china-threat-is-real-and-upon-us\/\" title=\"The China Threat is Real and Upon Us\">college campuses<\/a> all over America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You get to pick which side you think the American president ought to stand on and which side you think the American people ought to stand on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first side includes a UCLA protest spokesperson <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Gabby_Hoffman\/status\/1786042514518032570\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">saying<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cI think, given the fact that the University of California is founded on colonialism, it\u2019s inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an addressment (sic) of U.S. imperialism and its ties to the UC system, and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad. Not only abroad, but also here locally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The case they are making is that the United States is bad. When they say the University of California is founded on colonialism, what they really mean is that the United States is founded on colonialism, imperialism, exploitation, and rape of the native peoples \u2014 and all the rest of this garbage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s what they mean. They mean the United States is bad when they say that what\u2019s happening in Gaza is connected to this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What they <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">really <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">mean is there is a coalition of people who are pseudo-oppressed, who are losers in life, who have now decided that the American system, the Western system, and meritocracy, are bad. Anybody who is successful in the system has designed the system for their own benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1956-pick-a-damn-side-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is the intersectional conspiracy theory taken to the extreme. And what it really means is these people \u2014 who are the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elite-private-school-students-anonymously-accused-school-officials-of-racism-the-school-caved\/\" title=\"Elite Private School Students Anonymously Accused School Officials Of Racism. The School Caved.\">privileged people<\/a> in human history, sitting on a beautiful campus at the University of California at the most beautiful time of the year, outdoors, enjoying their lives on the public dime because tuition is subsidized at UCLA by the state \u2014 believe they are the victims of American society or standing in solidarity with the victims of American society. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The complaint is not about Israel. You don\u2019t even hear the word Israel once in that statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The complaint is about the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s one side. They hate America. They burn the flag. They take it down. They put up the Palestinian flag because the Palestinian flag has become the rallying point and tip of the spear in favor of this perverse view of the universe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This has happened because revolutionary movements need to show skin in the game. The way they show skin in the game is by picking the worst victims, people who are least sympathetic, and declare they have sympathy for those victims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s why the Black Lives Matter movement was founded originally around the death of Michael Brown, who tried to shoot a police officer before he was killed by a police officer. If you could declare your fealty to a false narrative about Michael Brown, suggesting that he died at the hands of American white supremacy, then you could sell those people anything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The same thing is true with regard to the Palestinian cause. The Palestinians are a perfect example of a group of people who have elected terrorists, who are sympathetic to terrorists, who support terrorism, who hate Jews, who hate America, and who have made their own bed. They\u2019ve been offered everything and they\u2019ve taken nothing. They<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-morgan-wallen-posts-apology-video-talks-sobriety-following-n-word-video-deplatforming\/\" title=\"WATCH: Morgan Wallen Posts Apology Video, Talks Sobriety Following N-Word Video, Deplatforming\">\u2019ve decided<\/a> they\u2019re not going to take any deal over and over. Every dollar that has gone into Gaza has been used to build up a terror epicenter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And these people declare solidarity with Palestinians because if you can declare solidarity with people who are obviously not victims <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">  declare they are the victims of Western imperialism, you can declare virtually anything. That is why the keffiyeh and the Palestinian flag are substitutes for the American flag.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s side A. You can pick side A, but those people don\u2019t love America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then, there\u2019s side B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The second side includes the frat boys at the University of Mississippi who showed up to sing the Star-Spangled Banner in front of people who hate the United States. This side includes the frat boys at the University of North Carolina who actually tried to prevent the American flag from being brought down. It includes people like my friend Ami Horowitz, who went to a protest at City University of New York with an American flag and got beaten up for the privilege.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can either side with the statue of George Washington or with the people who deface the statue of George Washington.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But you do have to pick a side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And if you pick the side that hates America, you should be held accountable, politically and otherwise. It turns out you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">should<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, in fact, love this country. It is an amazing country. It is the greatest country in the history of mankind. If you don\u2019t, then there should, in fact, be some public opprobrium for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t have a right to say these things. You do have the absolute right to say whatever dumbass thing you want to say. It\u2019s the United States of America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That does not mean people have to look at you as though you are anything but a moral idiot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And these people are moral idiots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the current college protests across America, it&#8217;s crucial for all, especially the political class, to take a stand.
