There is one very SERIOUS problem with this article.

First Amendment rights apply only to Americans while in/on American sovereign territory. It applies no where else in the world.

Like most lawyers and liberals (is there a true difference between the two any more?) the author thinks that the freedom of speech is an international right. He fails to realize that there are millions of graves around the world and through out history marking the end of people who thought the same thing he does.

Unfortunately, we seem to protect fools like him.

I understand that our Constitution applies only to Americans. That doesn’t stop the fundamental ideas in it from being pushed elsewhere in the world. I am pointing out the two main arguments being pushed.
