[HighlyOpinionated]

I came into this discussion late.

But I have a question.

Does anyone have a reason why Americans are Anti-American? I can understand the jealousy of Nations against the USofA, but . . . why are our own citizens Anti-American?

Don't they realize they could be living under a repressive government which would as soon kill them as allow them to make negative comments about that government? Didn't they study history in school?

Someone got an explanation? Besides "friggin' idiot" I mean. Or maybe that's the explanation.

The post immediately above yours (#49) has the short answer:

You need to look deeper into these groups. At their core they are full fleged communists and anarchist-socialists. They want to tear down our Constitutional form of government.

Well anarchists, socialists, and communists have been agitating the masses in America for the better part of a decade (at least 85 years).

After they successfully demonized Joseph McCarthy (and impugned all efforts to squash communist infiltration into American government, media, and educational institutions), they got more entrenched.

I think the waves finally broke in the late 1980s to 1990s. Political correctness had been with us for 20+ years by that point (and 1970s NYC punk was originally a rejection of the liberal totalitarianism of hippies) but it became a household word. People going through word stumbles as they realized they were censoring themselves from saying a harmless word like mailman.

There are some who came back from trying to piss off their parents. For others it became a way of life. They ARE mentally ill. Both Abbie Hoffman and Hunter S. Thompson killed themselves because they were so consumed with rage. Self-medicating with whatever dope they could score until they finally had it.

Jane Fonda (Hanoi Jane, i.e., Vietnam anti-war liberal) said if the American people had any idea how wonderful Communism is, they'd be down on their knees begging for it.
Jane Fonda and John Kerry started this pro-Communist movement and it's been alive and well ever since. Have you noticed the worlds socialists were silent and absolutely giddy during the Clinton administration? He was a draft dodger, and sold our country out to Communist Red China for campaign contributions (and soooo much more!).

"Didn't they study history in school?"

Not if it was a government institution of indoctrination that gives tenure to Commonist indoctrinators that pledge allegiance to their public servant union!!! (there! I think I'm more opinionated than you!!!)

It serves us right if we don't arrest the signatories. We have the evidence. This is worse cowardice on the part of the administration than when Nixon was too afraid to arrest the Pentagon Papers guy...so he pathetically allowed the "plumbers" to go after the guy's medical records. Why not be direct this time? Arrest any American signatories. Put others on an international watch list.

...why are our own citizens Anti-American?

Because of 1) naivite and/or 2) inward self-loathing.
