You don't say "death to America" if you mean that. That's just a justification, a rationalization of a decent person's mind that hopes that there are decent people on the other side.
It's one thing when they say this in another country; it's entirely different when they say it in ours. A place where they have claimed a home for themselves and their children, through one method or another.
Even if I subscribe to your train of thought, the only end result is that there is an implicit ellipses at the end of your post, followed by "to be replaced by Sharia Law".
If you listen to the people declaring holy war on the U.S. in the Middle East, they say similar things. It's a justification for righteous fury, nothing more.
Obviously the government needs to be taken back and controlled by people who aren't policing the world, being tyrants to their own citizens, etc.
But we don't say that..So why do we allow any justification for them to say that?
The correct way to express that is to support voting for political change. We work within the system. We vote for guys like Ron Paul ("end the Fed") and Donald Trump. We protest. We don't call for the end of the entire country let alone call for the genocide of its people. "Death to America" isn't free speech. It isn't a protest against the government. SCOTUS has addressed. This. You can say you disagree with the gov't. You can be vulgar about it. You can say "f--- the police" to a cop's face and he can't do anything about it. You can burn the American flag. But you can't stand in front of a crowd and organize a violent revolution. That's treason.
Maybe not death to all of America(ns), but death to the corrupt system that is using our taxes dollars to fund horrible atrocities all over the world.

Well he has a point, if you listened to the first guy talking in the video he IS talking about the corrupt system that the U.S. government is part of.

Well they can “say” it all they want or you don’t really believe in the first amendment. Now acting on it is an entirely different matter.
