If the United States Were Invaded …

Leftists often ask the question: “Well, wouldn't you do the same thing if someone invaded the U.S.?” (Example given by Clayton Cramer.) Parts of the United States have been invaded (i.e., the Confederacy was invaded by the Union), and we do not currently admire the resistance. It's also common for semiprofessional paranoid loons (mostly on the idiotarian Right) to treat peaceful immigrants as invaders.

That question looks like an attempt by leftists to appeal to a caricature of conservatives.
