Rocky Mountain Patriot: Since our new Miss USA has ethnicity traceable to an Arab Country, how do you feel about liberal concerns….?
Some are wanting to suggest anyone not as PC as the most radical liberals must be in anguish over the selection of Rima Fakih to represent the U.S.A. in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant. Her family, after all, came over from Lebanon in 1993 while she was five. She speaks perfect English, presents herself well, an obvious requirement to represent Donald Trump’s pageant now, and considers herself American ahead of her Lebanese, Arab-American heritage.
Liberals seem confused over this turn of events and have posted questions and concerns on YA because of the unusual result. Some feel it should be used in some way as a comment about U.S. immigration law and see racist overtones toward Miss Fakih’s celebrity simply because she doesn’t look exactly like the liberals weighing in. Rima’s admirable ability to present a polished image and display educational accomplishment unrecognizable and, yes, foreign to the leftist PC police, are what we have been reading as liberal concerns.
Since at the heart of this is a desire to make some sort of comparison to other current immigrant related concerns, could some of you answer the following for me?
If Rima walked onstage and required an interpreter for any communication with Curtis, as host, or to answer questions for Donald Trump as well as the national television audience, do you believe she would have been seen as a role model deserving of representing the U.S.A.?
If she could not communicate with those she was standing in front of and insisted her allegiance belonged to Lebanon, perhaps wearing a small patch with Lebanese flag colors, and acknowledged that she and her family secretly crossed the border into our country, would it matter?
If she admitted violations of law and maybe choked out a few English words to impress her audience, because,after alll, she has been here for almost two decades and even in her own Lebanese dominated community where there is no real desire to become part of the larger culture, there are a few basic English words spoken. Would the words be appreciated? Would they be admired? What if there were more than a few English words included in her attempt to communicate, but her accent and limited facility with the language made the attempt all but unintelligible?
If, in answer to her question, she capably tried to marshal an argument through her interpreter for the need and importance to strike down immigration laws that seemed unfair to her, her family, and all the relatives back home in Lebanon, that most certainly would have swayed public sentiment across the country from the increasing belief that immigration laws served an important purpose, wouldn’t you think?
I would love to continue listing ways that our new Miss USA’s background (legal, by the way), choices, willingness to become part of the culture she has grown up in, and polish in front of the national audience couldn’t be more dissimilar from the argument some on YA seem determined to make on behalf of illegal immigrants we’re supposed to adopt and then absolve from laws they’ve never been willing to keep or accept as applicable to them.
Is there anyone here willing to help those of us who see only hypocrisy, duplicity, and nothing more than mud-slinging for trying to use our newly crowned Miss USA as a weapon against conservatives, who I am reading must be incensed and hate her? Why do you liberals believe anyone different from you must be defined in racial terms, and the highest recognizable thought process you seem capable of offering is always how you can throw the word “racist” into any comment or discussion to see if it ever sticks?
Perhaps the latter question is asked and answered. You love the spaghetti approach, don’t you? Throw it at the wall and continue to throw more at the wall until it sticks.
We absolutely get that your small dictionary is made up of limited numbers of words and some are simply meant to show a few others who are listening for the key words that you share that endangered political ideology. Yes, even the rest of us get that you’re liberal by the ugly, baseless words we hear repeated time and again.
Anyone here is welcome to try to explain to the rest of us how the crowning of our latest Miss USA is reason for calling up your favorite word, and how you see her and her circumstances as similar to those of the group you’re insisting we adopt and turn over our lands to.
Is there something I am missing here? The level of disconnect from reality just seems too outrageous for most of us to fathom your feint attempts at arguments. And I absolutely use the last word loosely, because we don’t believe you have one.
Conservatives here are up for legitimate attempts at explanation, if you think you have one. I’ve not tried to hide my feelings on YA, and now you’ve got an opportunity to answer a few questions asked here and try to convince me or other conservative readers
through Yahoo that there is a form of reason to your apparent madness.
Just do your best to make it a coherent argument, and don’t insult the rest of us with hate speech and ugly comments as the basis for an answer.

this is really long. but i am so so so excited to see that Rima won. she is BEAUTIFUL, and it just goes to show how diverse america is.
I’m a liberal, and these are my concerns: I don’t think very many people really give a $ #!!# about the Miss USA pageant — it is a second rate Miss America pageant, which only little old ladies care about (or should care about).
It’s really pathetic to me that someone has spent so much time and thought twisting some people’s comments about Miss USA into generalized attacks on the “liberals” and in the process setting up at least half a dozen straw men. Not to mention writing a lot of gibberish that I suppose you think sounds intelligent
Answer by DumnorixShe is probably whiter than the whitest white girl.Answer by Mike
I think she is a beautiful young woman and an excellent choice for Miss USA. Her situation cannot be compared to millions of people who are illegally sneaking across our border and costing the US taxpayers billions. She is a lady of morals, values and integrity. These are traits that I have never seen a liberal possess.Answer by *Carnage*
there is nothing wrong with this chick who won—-my mom was from Dearborn Michigan…..right on……she is stunning.
My hats off to Miss Oklahoma and her awesome response to her question from that Nunoz dude about the Arizona new law ….(put it right back in his face if you ask me)…..Oklahoma dont take sh*t from overpopulatin latinos either—————–too many of the KKK there for them….lol……
Answer by Thomasina PaineI thought she won for being liberal. She didn’t speak nearly as eloquently as Miss Oklahoma. These things have just declined into contests for diverse political correctness and no longer represent anything.Answer by Eshita
I am from South Asian origin and my dad is muslim. I wasn’t born here because my parents were involved with the foreign ministry and was stationed at a middle eastern country at the time I was born.
I am also a pageant girl.
Like Rima, I consider myself american above anything else. I was only born in the middle east, I have no family there. I’ve spend three months out of my life in the country my parents are from.
It’s wonderful to finally have a Miss USA that is from a different race. It shows how diverse America can really be.
I completely agree with you. It’s about time we finally have a national titleholder from another origin and I assure you this will not be the last time there will be one. 🙂
