I agree, but we have a substantial amount of our own citizens who have no clue about Freedom.
Whether they think the cops here are out gunning for black youths, or Trump “stole” the election from Hillary, or that keeping out terrorists is the same as prejudice against Muslims, the entire Left disagree that America is free.
Gospel ideas of love made our copious freedom possible. Without that, iron and draconian rule is needed to keep some faction firmly on top so there can be coherent order.
