Re: That leads to the interesting question of how you define "anti-American". Isaac Send a noteboard - 03/02/2011 10:21:56 PM
I don't think anyone would feel the accusation necessary, I at least take it as a given and assumed you openly considered yourself to be anti-American.

Does one need to hate or dislike the US to be "anti-American", or is thinking the US does bad things sometimes, or desiring the influence of the US to be smaller, or similarly cool (cool as in not warm, not cool as in awesome :P ) stances enough?


Depends on context and degree really, there's a big difference between disliking some of our actions or resenting the scope of our influence and a lot of the general anti-Americanism that floats around. As mentioned, I don't view anti-American in of itself as a bad thing, though I often view the reasons an individual is anti-American to be pretty bad upon review.

This is true. We'll just have to leave it to Glenn Beck to provide the poetry, now. *NM* Legolas - 03/02/2011 09:54:59 PM 261 Views
