I just realized you’re from New Zealand, and not an American. So I shouldn’t be so harsh with you. Your grasp of what we’re about is very much appreciated, but rather over-romanticized. Free speech/expression/association and free Islamic terrorist-collaborating/aiding/supporting aren’t the same thing.

(grin!) Born and raised in Vancouver Canada, citizen of New Zealand, Canada and the UK. Spent heaps of time in the US, and I would emigrate and become an American if it didn’t mean relinquishing my other Citizenships...
...for my mother countries have prior claim on my loyalty, and I understand that America is a jealous suitor who will tolerate no rivals.
I appreciate you not going to harshly with me, but I got big shoulders and this looks to be a fascinating subject for debate.
It’s 03h40 in the morning here in New Zealand — you’re right, I haven’t had any coffee yet, so I will remedy that right now and be back shortly...
Hit me with your best shot, mate!
