I sense that you feel persecuted but I'm not sure why. Have you actually tried going on a college campus and telling people you're pro-American? Or are you too scared to even attempt something so mundane? Are you not equally afraid that the response might be positive instead of negative? That would certainly take the wind out of your sails! The pervading attitude on university campuses is apathy-towards everything. I'd be surprised and pleased if you got any response at all.
I think even people on the right will find your reading list thus far to be facile and superficial. I hope you put a little more effort and thought into constructing your "left" reading list.
Political correctness is not one of the chief threats to the U.S. In fact I fail to see how it is a threat at all. Sure there have been some wacky and just plain stupid incarnations, but there is a basic concept that is valid and backed by scientific findings. Check out the comprehension rates of gender-neutral texts sometime. If people wish to be referred to as "african-american" instead of "negro" then it makes sense on any number of levels to respect that nomenclature.
How do you propose to create a group that supports Americans' right to speak their mind, but if they say the wrong thing they need to "get the hell out of your country?"
