And while you're doing your "poll", about what "un-American" really means, perhaps you can Google it or, I dunno, watch any TV broadcast in the past week and see the dozens and dozens (and that's lowballing it) examples of endless people, from gov't officials to commentators to anchors, referring to Trump's plan as...

wait for it...

wait for it...

"Un-American."

You'll also find one article along the lines of "Sadly this is actually really American" and then explaining why he thought so. As opposed to seizing on the phrase and screaming about how this was entirely inaccurate based on... something... but more really a semantical game that of course culminated in whining about my alleged "moving the goalposts" and demands that I admit my crime and claims of... something. All which were completely premeditated and had nothing to do whatsoever about alleged concern for what the phrase "un-American" meant. But you know that. Just as I knew it. And anybody looking at the examples mentioned above would know it, unless you really want to assert that all these other people and me literally have no idea what it really means, that we're all in error, and you know this because a handful of guys on a online forum say so.

L. O. L.



Do the poll! Do the poll! Seriously I can't wait! I tingle with anticipation.

Uh, are you feeling ok Indy?

That isn't what the poll is about. Anybody with half a brain understands that "unAmerican" is a rhetorical device that has no objective definition, and exists solely as an emotional appeal for partisans and the weak-minded.

The poll, Indy, was about your interpretation of Galt's statement as a literal attribution instead of a joke. You had implied it wasn't obvious, whereas reality and everyone else says otherwise. Your point about a sample size was fair, though, so I wanted to open it up to greater debate. Please let Galt know if you'd like to reopen the poll so we can settle this important issue using the scientific method.

"unAmerican" is a term traditionally used by right-leaning partisans to justify their intolerance for both diversity of culture and diversity of thought. It's sad to see people using to word against Trump now because to do so is to stoop to his level of intellectual midgetry.

[Indy]

The head of Homeland Security used it. So he's an intellectual midget?

I'd say what Trump is doing is the intellectual midgetry.

The outside world was responsible for the events that evolved into today's situation in the mid east. The mid east itself is responsible for it to continue, as it is doing.
