Ahh, but what is "un-American" ?

Is it "not American" in which case I agree, as does a lot of the world.

Does it mean "Anti American" in which case I disagree. I quite like the place, it will be nice when finished and of course would be better off as part of the Empire again

Kidding, right?

To support Godwin's law... Jews had nothing to worry about in Nazi Germany since they were doing nothing wrong.

You mean "finished" as in "ended", just as The Empire is on the back side of the bell-curve of significance... funny, I remember The Empire from somewhere else too

So you're one of those Holocaust conspiracy theorists?

...that's WHY the statement "...un-american..." is totally valid (wink,wink)!.

You know the term ghetto came from a reference to the communities Jewish people lived in. There is a lot of back history about their culture the media suppresses. Its similar to the Italian and China towns of most cities.

Yes, he is. No one expects him to be American. That's not the issue here.

But being an American is one thing, and whether one is for or against promoting the advancement of an authoritarian state is quite another.

It parallels the analogy to boiling a frog: the heat is increased slowly, one degree at a time, over time.

But the frog might eventually catch on to the scheme, feeling its discomfort, and jump out of the pan. One never knows... frogs still have the freedom to jump.

Unless a lid is clamped down upon the pan.

Yes, actually, after a bit I decided that it was a stupid joke and thought that it would be better to delete it in case I made a mess.
