If I were a heathen of a foreign land with the knowledge of what America's "freedom" represents today, should the offer of such "freedom" be given, I think I'd just say "No, thank you."

Freedom from torture, tyranny, murder, rape organized by the government, freedom to elect their government, freedom to not be grabbed off the street for their political beliefs, freedom for women to go to work, drive, vote and take part in government.

We used to have laws against abortion,had a group in Hollywood to oversee content...now we don't. They can vote for their own laws as they will be free to do so. It won't be like our country...never fear...

We have allowed "freedom of speech" to go hog wild while limiting religion...Our freedoms have gone to freedom "from" religion and anything goes..

By the way...people stand in line or sneak across the border...wait years to enter the land you no longer like.

Bump. The problem I think that is happening in certain situations is that the heathen in foreign lands are not always given a choice whether or not to accept this culture's version of 'freedom'.
