Fox News’s Marie Harf is the embodiment of a Dumb Blonde joke. Now I apologize to any blondes out there who are sick of hearing those gags.

But when you go on national television and can’t think of when America was great because of. . . credit card restrictions?

Yes, Marie Harf went there.

She appeared on Fox News “America’s Newsroom” on Tuesday morning while the panel was discussing NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s comment that America “was never that great.”

Marie Harf said that Cuomo certainly “flubbed what he was trying to do.” And then she went Full Stupid with this:

“But I keep asking President Trump supporters, when is he referring to when America was great? When I couldn’t vote? When I couldn’t get a credit card without my husband?”

So America wasn’t great when women “couldn’t vote” or “get a credit card” without their husbands. Let that sink in.

Dear readers, here we have on full display the progressive mindset: America is great only when she makes life ideal, especially for designated victims. And if she doesn’t, then America is not great.

Whatever happened to the citizens who cheered the words of a Democrat president who told America “ask not what your country can do for you…”?

No, America is not perfect, and she never has been. No serious person would claim perfection. But America is the most grand of all nations because her liberty allows her people to rise above their circumstances, even when those circumstances come from repression. America’s free people make America great.

Since Harf was talking about not being able to vote, here’s when heroic women endured grave suffering in order to obtain their rights to vote. The freedom to speak gave them the ability to do great things — like earn American women the vote. They helped make America great.

What about the Tuskegee Airmen, who rose above racial discrimination during World War II to became officers and fighter pilots?

Or those Japanese-American citizens who found themselves in internment camps during World War II? Those among them who were Kibei  — Americans who traveled to Japan for their education and then came back to the United States — served as translators for the Military Intelligence Service during the war. They served their nation despite prejudice, and they made America great, too.

I could go on and on with other examples of Americans like these. You probably could, too. In fact, you may have family members who overcame all sorts of barriers to become great people in their own right. It’s the people who make America magnificent, not some massive government that hands out favors like it’s Halloween.

Perhaps Marie Harf should take her beloved credit card and go shopping for books about Americans such as these — Americans who can inspire us all. Maybe then she’ll find out that even with all her warts, America has always been great.
