Un-American

When a number written in seashells becomes a criminal act, we no longer have the freedom of speech.

When our nation is thrusted into an international armed conflict on a whim we’ve become a rogue state.

When our nation intentionally targets civilians or even threatens to target civilians, we are engaging in state terrorism.

If these kind of violations of our Constitution continue to be our status quo, then we should no longer pretend to carry the banner of liberty. Nor should we degrade the term “American” by continuing to use it.
