That is a bit of an over statement. The US seems to have it in their head that they are the freest nation in the world and they were the only ones with freedom of speech.

America is a funny nation, its the only nation that is so liberal you are not allowed to discourage people from being gay while at the same time being so conservative it won't allow them to marry.

Why doesn't the US just split into two different nations? Then everybody wins.

In my view the US would be a lot better off if everyone was liberal. I would also be a lot better off if everyone was conservative, but is this constance cross over between the cons and the libs that is wreaking the nation.
