I think the Christians and Americans are right. Love was not the same before
Christ, nor was freedom before the Americans. Two powerful statements attest to
these facts -
"Love your neighbor as yourself"
....Jesus Christ in American English
"Give me liberty or give me death"
....Patrick Henry in America
