Omar - I'm not reluctant at all. He's the POTUS, and I'm a citizen of the US. I actively support him despite not voting for him, or agreeing with everything he says or does. Did the same with the last guy, and the guy before that, and on, and on.
The incessant bashing of the POTUS flies in the face of what I believe in, and those who engage in it hurt the country. I felt the same way about the last guy, and found myself defending him against what I felt were BS attacks from the right - much in the same way I defend
your school in the HS forum. If you want to accuse me of anything, you can call me an Objectivity Supporter.
As it relates to THIS thread, I doubt the current turn of events was part of some grand scheme, but I'm open to the possibility it was and/or it will work out to make the world safer in the long run. Pretty hard for Kim to argue he wasn't given the opportunity to join the rest of the world. We'll see how it plays out.
This is a decent synopsis of what I believe in. Our legal immigrants have to make this pledge as part of becoming citizens, and I'm pretty sure most of them gladly support the POTUS, regardless of who it happens to be at the moment. You could learn something from them.
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure
all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or
sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen;
that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States
of America against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true
faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the
United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant
service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law;
and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or
purpose of evasion, so help me God.
