      I'm terribly disturbed by how few liberals are thinking critically about morality, nationalism and patriotism in this moment.

      I'm seeing so many people who should know better uncritically assert that racist policies like the #MuslimBan are unAmerican..

      If you truly believe banning Muslims or unjustly excluding people is unAmerican, you need to lock yourself in a library.

      This nation's very first immigration law was the Naturalization Act of 1790 which limited citizenship to free white persons (men).

      The United States maintained explicitly racist immigration laws through the 20th century. There's nothing unAmerican about it.

      All of this discourse about exclusion and oppression being "unAmerican" is historical revisionism. But it also indicates something worse..

      The fact that so many liberals label exclusion and injustice "unAmerican" suggests the small mindedness of their moral imagination.

      When your nation is founded on genocide, slavery and white supremacy, that nation loses its claim to legitimate moral authority.

      You should have a higher moral bar than one provided by a nation that has normalized state violence and white male domination for centuries.

      This is as good a time as any to realize that your morally bankrupt liberal patriotism won't save you.

      It's enough to say that a policy or practice is wrong -- unethical, a crime against humanity. One need not attach the label "unAmerican".

          If you haven't already, you might want to get your hands on Martha Nussbaum's critique of patriotism and her embrace of cosmopolitanism..

          Your moral code should not revolve around protecting the fictive sanctity of (settler colonial) nations. Aim higher.

          And it's wrong as unethical crimes against humanity policies have existed for 90% of American history.2 gens doesn't erase it

          I suppose it depends on who you're trying to convince. I'd argue the label is more effective for those who need convincing.

          We have to work our way back to reminding these citizens what "American" means.
