You can think all you want, just don't act on it in time of war. Aiding and Abetting can be defined as broadly or as narrowly as the guy deciding it wants to.
I don't know what that specific case was all about, maybe there was no case.
You're confusing things that America enables you to do with the being of an American.
Preferring the irish jig to a foxtrot, or playing cricket instead of baseball, isn't really what makes you an American, those are things that being in America you can do simply because you're here.
Being an American is a spirit, the singing of the National Anthem and meaning it, the truck driver that stops and helps the stranded motorist, the people that gave blood to the injured at the WTC gladly, and didn't say they were giving blood to white americans or black americans, they gave it to just plain Americans, the people on the airplane that sacrificed their lives because they knew other Americans were going to die if they didn't, the Indians who were the code talkers, the Tusskeehee Airmen, and on and on and on.
You're thinking that being an American is things that America lets you do, it's really not. |
