No. And when you find yourself calling people unamerican, you're doing horribly. Historical example? McCarthyism. Does the ACLU stand for American as in person

No. And when you find yourself calling people unamerican, you're doing horribly. Historical example? McCarthyism.
Does the ACLU stand for American as in persons, American as in culture, American as in country...? Unless you work there, not up to you.
ACLU getting in on this implies America as a lot of things. America as a dream. America as a land of laws. America as a corporate entity honoring agreements. And more.
Your attitude is the #1 difference I see between "democrats" and "republicans": Is America an exclusive club, or an inclusive one?
- ftrflyr 10y agoNo. Downvote away. I don't care at this point. This community is so liberal it's nauseating. Give it a few years and the scales will tip. When you down vote comments you don't like, it's no different than reddit or discourse or yahoo news.
- Senji 10y agoMcCarthy was right. There were actual card carrying communist subversive active in the US. The Russians got the nuclear bomb faster then they would have precisely because of communist spies handing them the research. Don't screach about McCarthy being wrong.
