Showing Original Post only (View all)What is "UnAmerican" to you? [View all]
Personally, I don't find much to be "UnAmerican". Just the concept itself seems a little foreign to me (heh, see what I did there) and in my view, seems mostly to be thought about by the right wingers, not progressives and liberals.
But I suppose if I had to come up with something, I would say the spying on of Americans to be "UnAmerican", and just the growing super surveillance type atmosphere in general in America, to be "UnAmerican". Based on the concept that personal freedoms are one of the things that I think America does best. What do you find to be "UnAmerican"?

I notice the responses so far define it as "whatever I dislike," which seems consistent. (nt)

I only ever see "un-American" used by any Americans to mean "generically bad." (nt)
