Kill or imprison anyone who is anti-American

The principle of patriotism that found a lot of favor in Stalin`s USSR, Hitler`s Germany, and Pol Pot`s Cambodia.Nice to see someone has a multicultural approach.

If a person or group has malicious intent, and seeks to do harm, then all means necessary should be taken to protect U.S citizens, here and abroad. Other than that...fuck'em.

Hey, anybody else wondering why we haven't seen convinced around here lately?

I would lock them up with a life insurance salesman for a month.

It depends if they are a U.S Citizen then they should be fined or kicked out even. If they threaten the United States they are an enemy.

If those who are a direct threat to the lives and well-being of US citizens cannot be stopped by any other means, then yes. It is the Constitutional duty of our governement to protect its citizens.

I think Redoedo has a point of how would you define someone who is anti-American. If there is PROOF that this person could be a danger, I mean they intend to harm or kill other people because they hate americans. if they do not happen to agree with some of the politics or other issues. It would be awful to imprison them just because they have an opinion different from someone else. it would be awful scary to think someone can be killed for a difference of opinion.

Yes, let's kill them all, ASAP!....Just kidding! One man's patriotism is another man's anti-Americanism. We see it everyday. Whatever the opposing view is, it's not good for the country. Some people will just not concede or accept that the other side might just have a legitimate point of view.

What is anti-American?

Ridiculous. Well, while were at it, lets just kill anyone who has opposing views to our own. Yeah, right, that only eliminates 95% of the country. Foolish

and watch fox news

Then some day the world will be one gigantic concentration camp, and we still won't be one bit safer.

This would not be patriotic, ridiculous inclusion on such a list.

It would seem that Anti-American is a pretty broad term. It's one thing to gripe, whine and mention your distaste for the country in general. But it's an entirely different thing to blow up buildings. I'm pretty sure the death and imprisonment thing would be a little rash except in the last type of case.

No, everyone has the right to hold their own opinions and feelings. It is disturbing how this seems to be the current trend. The United States itself was started when some people became angry with the British government. What if they had all been killed because they were accused of being anti-British? (I know the British tried to do that.) We wouldn't even be here. Also, just because you are opposed to the U.S. government doesn't mean you hate Americans. At least some people around the world know this. The Vietnamese don't hate Americans now because Ho Chi Minh always said it was the U.S. government who supported the war, not the American people. Holding different opinions and solving problems the democratic way is what America is all about.

This is a thoughtless, knee-jerk reaction promulgated by those not given to reflection. Apparently, they don't think they can convince others of the strengths and merits of their definition of what it means to be American, so killing them or silencing them in prision is the only way to win the argument.

Of course not. And Ralph, to suggest that right wingers are in support from something as idiotic as this, is pure stupidity. Those who do not agree with America should not be persecuted, but rather incouraged to show us our weaknesses so that we can fix our errors. HOWEVER, does that mean we have to accept people such as Osama Bin Laden around so that he can destroy America? Absoultely not.

Most Americans don't know what being an American is all about, they just live here. So, if the goal is to eliminate most the population by killing anti-Americans, then... Killing is not the solution to anti-American behavior. Education is. If an American does not stand up for the freedom of the individual or gives into tyranny, we need to teach that lost soul what it really means to be an American. Just killing that wayward anti-American is an opportunity lost. We need to create real Americans by telling them that freedom from government is what being an American is all about. Those who blindly follow orders and obey their government as a slave are truly the anti-Americans amongst us. Free your mind and then free yourself.

I think this was put here as a foil, too.

Anti-American is a legit opinion so long as the person or group doesn't do anything stupid.

No. I will kill those that pose a real threat, though.

And who exactly gets to define what is anti-American? Is it a terrorist who blows up a building or a regular citizen who expresses dissenting views about current policy? It seems that line is beginning to blur for some.

Your anti-American may be my pro-American. Many people who hate America do not hate our Constitution and underlying values; they hate what we're doing to them and the world. Maybe it would benefit America to please other nations and not make as many enemies in the first place.

Depends on what you mean as anti-American. If you mean taking up arms against your country then I would say imprison them; treason is a crime. But most of the time the term anti-American is simply a red herring. Criticizing your governments actions is not treason. There is a certain anti-intellectual strain evident in our culture that causes us to block unpleasant thoughts that may be critical of certain positions where your patriotism is supposedly on the line, like the war. It is very American to dissent and to be honest about our history as a people. To do any less would be very unpatriotic.
