A Really Odd Protest

The Blaze reported the following today:

Crowds gathered at the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. were led in a “down, down USA” chant Saturday morning by a female speaker. 

The Native American woman proclaimed that Muammar “Gaddafi is still alive” and called for President Barack Obama to pardon Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist who was convicted of murdering two Federal Bureau of Investigation officers in 1975. The woman then led the crowd in a chant of “down, down USA.”

Stop and think about that for a moment. These people live here. Why are they chanting against their own country. That is like blowing up your own house and then complaining that you have nowhere to live. It makes no sense. If they are so unhappy that they are calling for the destruction of America, why don’t they find a better place to live? I’ll even help them pack.

I understand that political dissent is a part of America. I am in favor of that. However, this makes no sense to me, and I think it is destructive.
