I really am with Max on this one. I think this country needs to be be very careful in who we accuse as "non-americans." I will argue with people I oppose until the day I die, but I will never say they shouldn't be allowed to oppose me. The day this country defines what is ok and what is not ok, is the day we are no longer American. Luckily, I don't see our government doing that, but rather the public in general.

I do believe there are limits to freedom of speech, however. Obviously, treason is unacceptable, but, beyond treason, I believe it is unacceptable to obstruct business, or day to day life for anyone. However, these people are almost always dealt with legally, and without repercussions from the public. I don't know anyone who would say a anti-war activist group should be able to riot against police, or commit some other ridiculous act, without being punished.

As for prayer, I haven't seen the government really take that away from anyone, although I do have a concern with objection to the word God in the Pledge of Allegiance, as I do not believe this refers to anyone's God in general.

I also believe that prior to the United States taking out Saddam Hussein with our very first shot (because of our ridiculously incredible intelligence), he was proven to be in breach of UN Resolution 1441.
