The irony is, for all of their false bravado behind the First Amendment and their right to "free speech," the hatriots are exercising this right because American men and women shed their blood to afford them this right against those who would seek to oppress it.

I was not aware that Saddam Hussein sought to oppress my right to free speech. That changes everything.

The central fact of the current controversy is the conflict between Islamic theocracy and American democracy.

I disagree. There is no reason in the world why America should be in conflict with Islamic theocracy.

Further, Islamic prophecy foretells of worldwide conversion to Sharia law under Islam

And Christian prophecy foretells armageddon when all non-Christians will be condemned to hell.

The clearest definition of religious freedom and freedom of expression I can make is this – the religious freedom America offers means that I would fight and die for a Muslim's right to build a mosque in every city in America. It is precisely this freedom for which our soldiers are fighting.

But we already have freedom of religion in America, so what need is there for our soldiers to fight for it?

Our soldiers – your sons and daughters – are fighting to preserve Michael Moore's freedom to produce such works that mock their very existence.

I was not aware that Saddam Hussein threatened Michael Moore's freedom to produce movies. That changes everything.

They are allowing my countrymen the right to freely express themselves without being stoned to death as a consequence. Or have their heads severed slowly while their executioners are chanting "Allah hu Akbar."

Why should our soldiers die on behalf of your countrymen? It is your countrymen who should be doing the fighting, not mine.
