We tout our freedoms, but at the same time we laud those who deny basic rights and services as moral heroes. We celebrate the divisive and scorn those who work for unity.

We aren't perfect. We should not seek to enforce that on others until we have improved ourselves.
Exactly because the faction that still insists on denying marriage to gays is no different from the faction that throws them from rooftops.
No we are not perfect and never will be. As humans we all have built in flaws and as long as there a humans the idealist (extreme leftist, same thing) quest for a utopia is futile.
America still remains as the closest thing to a utopia however, just ask the hordes trying to get in, legally or illegally.

Yeah, I know, The Crusades.
That good old "we are as bad as they are" song and dance whenever a topic having to do with Muslims always rears its head. The fact that there are laws and penalties in place and strictly enforced to protect our children sets us head and shoulders above those savages. From the Amber Alert to laws against child porn, there isn't much an outsider could offer.
But that's not to say I favor sending our young men and women to die trying to "save" another country.
