I deliberately used the term to point out the fact that those who think like that are most likely to believe that all Muslims want global sharia.

Are there Muslims that believe the things that some accuse them of? Yes they are a relatively SMALL portion of the Muslim population. So painting ALL of them as the problem is wrong.
Why is it OK to paint some with such broad strokes and non PC to do it to others? I wonder... Irony is really ironic.

It is OK to paint each group with the appropriate brush.
Muslims who DO want global sharia, and those who think ALL Muslims want it, are making the same fundamental mistake. Wielding the brush isn't inherently wrong. It's wrong if you only use it to paint one side.

It is a derisive term meant to specifically be aimed at those in a particular part of the United States that believe heavily in firearm ownership and voted heavily pro Trump.
It is a condescending way to refer to those in rural America. Technically it is hateful, but it is OK because of who is hated.

Yes it is a made up word used by those that like to put themselves above others.

Nonsense.
There is no accent. Why would anyone think there would be one? It's a mindset thing. Blind patriotism, America is always right/#1, no possibility of ever thinking otherwise. America not necessarily meaning the government, which adds another dimension. The fact that you all seem to be upset that I used the term is symptomatic. What's wrong with speaking of it. I'm not yelling fire in a movie theater. You can make of it whatever you will, and paint ME with whatever brush you like - the point stands.

Now pronounce America out loud. Hear the phonetic difference? Yes. Yes you do. Now please, answer. Why 'Murica and not America? |

I have seen every episode of All in the Family.
What does it have to do with the mis pronunciation of your nation? As far as Team America goes, I believe I refused to watch it as I recall it was a puppet show? Please explain Jon. |

Attached to the article is a disgraceful, abhorrent collage of the accused surrounding the Head of State with a pumped fist as though he is in support of them.
How disgusting. |
