Good article. Next thing you know, Canada will be bringing suit against one political party for making generalizations about another....
God, I love the USA!

It is very disturbing that we, the US, are a minority when it comes to Freedom of speech...

The article about Brigitte Bardot's conviction of a "hate crime" because she criticized muslims is absurd.

Earlier this month, the actress Brigitte Bardot, an animal rights activist, was fined $23,000 in France for provoking racial hatred by criticizing a Muslim ceremony involving the slaughter of sheep.
