Also there has to be a line on freedom of speech, usually it would run along with most peoples common sense and decency.
otherwise freedom of speech would include vast representations of racism, sexism and various other prejudices to the extreme.
Yes everyone should be allowed to speak there mind, but within reason of common grounds of decency.
Anything above this, is exactly most of the things wrong in society today.
Obama winning from this point of view is a massive step in the right direction. But the really good news is, Obama is one of the most intelligent, well rounded Presidents in recent times, and he has a manifesto that excites many.
Obviously not all, but you cant have everyone on your side all of the time can you.

The Americans must learn this :
to LIVE their lives and to LEAVE the others ( I mean people from other countries) to LIVE their lives

On Wednesday, Politico reported that Obama was strongly considering putting Kennedy at the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Robert Kennedy Jr
This would be so cool, and very good for the environment, I know Bobby and his family from Nassau, where he also fought to help save a large natural/historical area from destruction on Clifton point, talk about a complete turnaround on environmental policy for us.

You left out Roosevelt (not T., he was vice president first and became president later), I mean Roosevelt F.D. - who was four times chosen as President of the USA 1933 till 1945, while he was in a wheelchair.... after surviving poliomeylitis in 1921 - He founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (read) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_Dimes and has his face on the US dime because of it. He also believed in the hydrotherapy treatment to overcome the paralysis, so he bought land and created two treatment centers and set up research projects (together with the phylantropist Basil o'Connor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil_O%27Connor - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roosevelt_Warm_Springs_Institute_for_Rehabilitation )
You're right: of all the prez picced there, only Johnson (and maybe Lincoln) was an 'enacter' like FDR. Right now, Obama is a figurehead, like Kennedy; hopefully he'll be able to be his own enacter!

No way. I think you're wrong.

Yeah... euhhh... The Canada's Human Rights Commissions... hmmm... this is a funny weird thing.
To reach judgments on the basis of no fixed law isn't really a bad thing if the judgments are smart & right.
So it is enough problematic. In Canada, things are so badly planned & organized, they seem completely lost
between being tolerant and drawing a line... and some visible minorities, especially some radical Muslims are taking advantage of it.
This is sometimes so f*"šn dumb!
Usually, there's some problems with the immigrants who take too seriously their beliefs & traditions.
Those stupid stories about young Muslims students who carry their kirpans at school,
or the Muslim member of the RCM (Canada's national police force) who wear his turban at work... we are
sometimes incredibly & stupidly tolerant. If I decide for any reason to move to an Arabian country
(I'll not do it), I'll not wear my hockey helmet at work.

The problem there is that the government gets to define "common grounds of decency" And that's a slippery slope. If you don't defend the whole freedom, then its gonna erode away piece by piece.
