Ah, but Liz, you're forgetting several very important details, here. Firstly, of course, is that America is a Christian country. Yeah, sure, we have religious freedom as one of the major bases of our entire system of government as well as written into our constitution, but, hey, we don't need that old thing any more, right?
Also, the proper response to disliking something that America is doing is to leave. Because it's the easiest thing to do to just ex-pat and go to another country. Never mind all that effort we're putting in to tighten our borders against people trying to come in who are dissatisfied with -- or downright threatened by -- the way that their country is handling things. Other countries won't be doing that. Of course not. Also, you're an American. Everyone wants you! Oh, and don't worry about that whole thing where culturally we're probably the least prepared "first world" people in the world to attempt to thrive in another culture. We're American. Just go be American in another country where I don't have to listen to you disagree with how I want to be American. . . .
I do hope that the heavy sarcasm came through properly in all of that. *goes back to her corner*
