AINO (American In Name Only)
“RINO” (Republican In Name Only) is a popular political term that has inspired other “in name only” terms. “AINO” (American In Name Only) means someone who is an American (by birth or by naturalization), but who holds anti-American views. These “AINO” views might include a lack of respect for the Constitution, not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, not standing for and not singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” (national anthem), support for open borders and disrespect for the United States military.
American conservative author and blogger Michelle Malkin possibly coined the term when she wrote “AWOL and AINO (American in Name Only)” for Townhall.com on December 8, 2004.

AWOL and AINO (American in Name Only)
Michelle Malkin | Dec 08, 2004
Fugitive U.S. soldier Jeremy Hinzman is an unrepentant embarrassment to his country of birth. Last year, he deserted from the 82nd Airborne Division, fled to Canada and became the anti-war movement’s sexiest man alive. Now, in a desperate bid for refugee status, this AWOL poster boy is collectively smearing our brave men and women in Iraq as war criminals to save his hide.

Here’s the word of the day:
AINOs.
Americans In Name Only.
Those that are legally American citizens, but have no loyalty to America.
They see their status as American citizens as merely an “in” which allows them to help open the gates a la the Trojan Horse for the rest of the citizens of their ancestral lands to flood across our borders regardless of consequences. To them, America is simply a resource to plunder, not the land of freedom and opportunity.

AINOs voted to support them!!!! AINO = American’s in Name Only , you know we have been calling them Democrats.
There hasn’t been a terrorist attack since 9/11/2001 and yet the american people voted for change in direction. God help us. But wait, the new leadership of Barney Frank will ensure our safety. There is though, just pray that Bush and Cheney are never ever in the White House at the same time, or in the White House at all if it is attacked…..cringing at the thought of President Pelosi

Americans In Name Only (AINO’s)
Those who call themselves Americans but ignore the principles of the country was founded on, ignore the actual content of the founding documents, and/or don’t lift a finger in their defense.
I think we need an acronym like this, which goes beyond the “RINO” acronym which is really only about party identification.
Will the acronym catch on?
