I've wondered how anyone becomes un-American when being an American refers to the soil you live on or nationality you claim to be a part of. The way I see it the only way you can be an un-american is if you claim you nationality is from a country other than America so how can anyone living in this country be un-american?
I suppose someone can say that not holding certain values pertaining to your country is un-American but when did our thoughts and beliefs change when you cross a political barrier? The truth is is that our thoughts, beliefs, and personality is an independent creation of the geographic location that our nation happens to be at. To say otherwise, is to say that the minute we cross a border or immigrate to another country to claim nationality there is simultanous* change our "personality".
A nation does not define character attributes of each individual living under those laws. It only defines the laws and not the person that is a part of it.
