If you really believe in freedom then you would not support the theme of this song.
Ya see we all get to enjoy freedom here in America. Looking down on how other Americans live and interact with their government would not be something freedom loving Americans would do. A real freedom loving American would mind their own business!

Was reading up about the guy who wrote/sang this. What a horrid man he was, is that why the song was popular? Because of the hypocrisy from the singer?
