            You've forgotten Antarctica, which is full of scientists, who are all pro-use-humans-as-tree-fertilizer and pro-Jesus-didn't-ride-dinosaurs.

                    Most of us did. It did get rid of a lot of inane dribble. We'd prefer if you became sane and rational, but if that's not possible, voluntary leave or a ban aren't totally unwelcome to some.

                      American conservatives have an idealized conception of the politicians who were involved in creating the United States (called the "Founding Fathers" since women weren't allowed a role in such important work) and the American constitution is seen as embodying their unified ideology. Anything that doesn't conform to this ideology is un-American. A synonym for un-American is "unconstitutional" which has nothing to do with how the US constitution actually works in practice.
                      Thomas Jefferson has an excellent quote about the foolishness of ideolizing past generations or the constitution.

                        There is no such thing as "un-greek".
                        but there is "Anthellene" which is anti-greek, usually used by whoever to denote whatever (usually he is authoritarian or deluded). most of the time it elicits laughter though.

                            In Australia the term un-Australian is in general use, by the conservative right in earnest and by everyone else ironically.
