It's very un-American to say nice things about elites. Elites are often terrible. It's not like we've ever had a perfect set of benevolent democratic elites ruling over our country. But the fact of the matter is that a representative system of democracy delegates power to elites.

Franklin Foer

For one who has an interest in the body as text, airports are treasure troves of information. It seems almost un-American to enjoy delays, and perhaps enjoy is not the best word, but certainly a delayed flight, if it does nothing else, allows one the opportunity to make prolonged observations about one's fellow travelers.

I don't care if you're Republican or a Democrat or a Liberal, getting crucified for the way you think or believe, obviously if it's not hurting anyone, it's just Un-American.

Angie Harmon

Car You Way

It's almost un-American to say that you want to change football.

Ann McKee

Making sweeping over-generalizations is classically un-American.

Anthony Scaramucci

Weeping Weep Un-American

This business of demonizing or pre-defining people by the way they look, the religion that they practice, or where they came from is not only un-American but it's going to hurt America.

Can anything be more Un-American than the Un-American committee?

Burt Lancaster

Un-American UN Thing

Leaving American disaster victims to languish is morally reprehensible and un-American.

Cedric Richmond

Victims Victim Un-American

The only people I've ever heard saying that disagreeing with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld is un-American or treasonous are people who disagree with Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.

Craig Bruce

You can say that your ideas are bad for America, and frankly un-American, but don't say the person is a traitor.

Dan Crenshaw

Your You Un-American

Squelching debate by branding it un-American is dishonest, dangerous, and, in itself, hateful.

Ed Schultz

Anger Us Un-American

To try to preemptively shut down debate with name-calling is profoundly un-American and will harm this country.

Eric Metaxas

Wit Will Un-American

We've got to do more to ensure that people who work full time are not living in poverty and that the massive gap between rich and poor - which is fundamentally un-American, as far as I'm concerned - is somehow dealt with.

Eric Schneiderman

Work Time Men

When athletes take a knee during the National Anthem, we must ignore President Trump's absurd claim that they're 'un-American' and instead understand that it's very American to peacefully protest systemic injustice.

Eric Swalwell

Solitude is un-American.

Erica Jong

It was not a secret, then or now, that there is something vaguely un-American about forcing your child to be really good at classical music performance.

It's very un-American to say nice things about elites. Elites are often terrible. It's not like we've ever had a perfect set of benevolent democratic elites ruling over our country. But the fact of the matter is that a representative system of democracy delegates power to elites.

I think the most un-American thing you can say is, 'You can't say that.'

Garrison Keillor

You Un-American UN

A peacetime draft is the most un-American thing I know.

George Wald

Time Peace Un-American

The Iraq War. No one took to the streets over it. It certainly would have been appropriate. If anybody even hinted we should... you were called un-American and not supporting the troops.

Hank Azaria

War You Would

I've said many a time that I think the Un-American Activities Committee in the House of Representatives was the most un-American thing in America!

Harry S Truman

Time Use Us

When a president, as Trump does, demonises opponents as an un-American mob trying to destroy the country, it is not a lunatic who tries to harm them, it is a patriot.

Heather Cox Richardson

I was in federal prison in West Virginia for three months for contempt of Congress for a refusing to comply with a request of a Congressional committee of Congress, the House Un-American Activities Committee.

Howard Fast

I have been called many things in my life, but if there has been but one constant, one barb, one arrow flung my way time after time, it is the accusation that I am, in essence, nothing more than an escapist. Apparently this is bad, suspect, possibly even un-American.

J. Maarten Troost

Whether we start with a provisional status and legal permanent residence... or we set up some other way to assimilate legally, you can't ever put in something that says, 'You can never become a citizen.' That's un-American.

Jeff Denham

Conservatives may worship Adam Smith's 'invisible hand,' but for Obama, the helping hand comes in large measure from the public, not the private sector. To call this 'socialism' is to do violence to the word and to the concept. To call it 'un-American' is a smear.

Jeff Greenfield

I'm often loose with my tongue. I may have said something about the NAACP being un-American or Communist, but I meant no harm by it.

Jeff Sessions

There are many examples in our history of overheated rhetoric leading to fear and prejudice and government overreach. My own grandfather, a sociologist, was dragged in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. He said he wasn't a Communist and explained that American Negroes were patriots like everyone else.

Jeh Johnson

I don't believe the federal government should be snooping into American citizens' cell phones without a warrant issued by a federal judge. You cannot give the federal government extraordinary powers to eavesdrop without a warrant. It's simply un-American.

Kevin de Leon

For many Americans the term 'speech code' sends shivers up the spine. Yet these noxious and un-American codes have become commonplace on college campuses across the United States.

Kirsten Powers

Censorship is un-American, and it's egregious that any journalist would advocate for others to be banned for political speech.

Laura Loomer

Immigrants have always come into the country with low levels of education. Whether it's the Irish or Italian or Polish, here is the land of opportunity. It's where people come in at the bottom and build themselves up. To try to bring in people who have already made it is un-American.

Lionel Sosa

I don't think we should ever ban anyone based on their religion. That is un-American. It is not good. What the president is doing, everybody needs to realize that what he's doing is saying, 'Let's take a step back. Let's temporarily pause.'

Nikki Haley

It is un-American, it is unjust to target any group of folks whether they are African-American, Hispanic, poor or elderly when it comes to access to the vote.

Nina Turner

When you become a citizen, you are an American and questioning somebody's Americanness because they disagree with you - is about one of the most un-American things I can think of.

Pete Buttigieg

Much as I disliked the un-American idea of marrying a lady with a dowry, I must admit that little Mrs. Godfrey's little private income put everything in a faintly different light.

Preston Sturges

I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there is something profoundly un-American about using the brute force of government to bully someone.

Rand Paul

Limiting the ability of the people to peacefully organize and partake in direct action to fight against persecution and discrimination is not only barred by the U.S. Constitution but is fundamentally un-American.

Rashida Tlaib

I did my Doctorate on the House Un-American Activities Committee's effect on the American theater.

Robert Vaughn

Americans are free to choose everything from what they eat, drive and watch on TV to the President of the United States. Yet, when it comes to allowing Americans to choose the health insurance that works best for them and their family, the freedom to choose suddenly becomes un-American.

Ron Wyden

Putting pressure on grand juries to indict in my view is un-American. A grand jury should be allowed to be fair and impartial. They shouldn't have people yelling and screaming.

Rudy Giuliani

Quitting has always been the worst possible thing you can do in sports. It's downright un-American.

Steve Rushin

The suspicion that immigrants are not to be trusted or are unpatriotic is not just wrong; it is un-American. And dangerous.

Ted Lieu

While the debate over banned books usually seems to happen just outside the gates of government, it takes on a new danger and urgency when legislators get involved. Their actions cause voices to be silenced both inside and outside the books. That's un-American.

Terrance Hayes

I don't know anything more piggish - I don't know anything more un-American than saying, 'Oh, I'm worried about my own little handout or my own little program or my own little economy and we'll kick this can down the road and let some future generation deal with it.'

Todd Rokita

It's not only inhumane to treat Puerto Ricans as second-class citizens. It's deeply un-American.
