“What does it mean to be unAmerican? Who decides what is American or unAmerican behavior? Most people that came to this country wanted personal freedom and an unintrusive government. They simply wanted to be self-sufficient and to enjoy the fruits of their work. They wanted the freedom to raise their children without government interference and to worship God as they wished. They were willing to fight and die for these freedoms. Those are examples of what it means to be an American. If a government no longer honors those ideals, is it American to support such a government?”
You have summed it up very well. And to answer your question, NO it is not American to just give up and support such a government.
