Generally, it's easy to bash the United States on our backwards politics. However, one area where we're much more progressive than Europe or the rest of the industrialized world is our strong belief in freedom of speech. In fact, it's a large part of why I think the internet has grown so easily and rapidly in the US: we have fewer laws restricting it here.
Personally, your rights end where my nose begins. You can do or say whatever you want as long as you don't interfere with what I want to do and say. Yes, that means that if what you say is stupid you can call me on it just like I can call you on it if you're being stupid. Freedom of speech also includes freedom to protest.
