I would say the KKK, white supremist groups, and Timothy McVeigh types are also anti-american. Do you agree with that? Mike

If you made that cut, Mike, I could list a lot of groups/individuals. I simply don't find the term anti-American a very helpful one. Hmm, as I type, I realize I can expand a bit.

The KKK is a racist group, as of course, are white supremicist groups. But racism has a long and disreputable history in America. I consider it despicable but there is a reasonably strong argument, given even the founding documents that the racism thread was there from the beginning and has hung around a very long time.

The US has come a long way in the last forty or fifty years on the racism front. As on the discrimination against women front. But we've got a long way to go. On both.
