I welcome U.S. defeat.

“The United States has lost the war in Iraq, and that’s a good thing. [. . .] [A]s a U.S. citizen, I welcome the U.S. defeat [. . .] And it’s essential that the American empire be defeated and dismantled.”

- Robert Jensen , December 9, 2004.


Terrorists are patriots.

“The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not ‘insurgents’ or ‘terrorists’ or ‘The Enemy.’ They are the revolution, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow — and they will win.”

- Michael Moore , April 14, 2004.


I have no faith in the U.S.

“I cringed as my young son recited the Pledge of Allegiance. But who was I to question his innocent trust in a nation I long ago lost faith in?”

- Nina Burleigh


Bashing America.

“In simple language, I told my son that our president had started a war with a country called Iraq. I said that we were bombing cities and destroying buildings. And I explained that families just like ours now had no money or food because their parents didn’t have offices to go to anymore or bosses to pay them. ‘America did this?’ my son asked, incredulous. ‘Yes, America,’ I answered. He paused, a long silent pause, then burst out: ‘But Mommy, I love I America! I want to hug America!’”

- Nina Burleigh , April 17, 2006.


The U.S. is as bad as the Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot.

“If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings.”

- Dick Durbin , June 14, 2005.


The U.S. is the enemy.

“We need to think very, very clearly about who the enemy is. The enemy is the United States of America and everyone who supports it.”

- Haunani Kay Trask


I’m not an American.

“I am not an American. I will die before I am an American.”

- Haunani Kay Trask , January 1993.


Hoping for U.S. defeat in Iraq.

“We as Americans have to hope America will lose [the war in Iraq). If we win, we have to expect more wars, more destruction.”

- Michael Schwartz


Comparing George Bush with Osama bin Laden.

“Bush and bin Laden have much . . . in common. If anything, bin Laden’s parochialism is slightly less offensive: whereas Bush concludes his addresses to the nation with ‘God bless America,’ as though God should care about nation-states or has earmarked America as especially deserving of His approbation, bin Laden is content to observe, ‘God is great, may pride be with Islam.’”

- Vinay Lal


George Washington is a slave master bastard.

“[The Father of our Country must henceforth be known as] George Washington the slave master bastard Founding Father.”

- Leonard Jeffries , July 1991.
