So, in your mind the ownus is on the American public to ignore his anti-American sentiment...rather than him to offer respect and appreciation for the country that provides every bit of his opportunity?

That's a backwards way of thinking, IMO.

No, that is not what I said or trying to say....what I was trying to convey was there was endless amounts of blood shed in American History for MAR to have the right to have a silent protest....however you may feel about his social views. To try to deny that is Un-American....just because you disagree with it, it's Un-American????....some people can make the argument they do certain things because the love their country and want their country to be better...

I would agree that his thought process was flawed but simple objection does not equate to Un-American
