Freedom: yes. Christianity: no.
As long as you yanks mop up the mess in Iraq after you've flattened it (like set up and over-see a democratic government and maybe one Burger King) I'll support you. :)

It has been part of the signature of Raymond E. Feist's emails for years.
Not that anyone except the original utterer (it's a word now) has ownership over it.

Recently replaced an outdoor lightbulb. Its design -- flared out a little more than regular bulbs -- did not allow it to be fully screwed into the socket (I guess one centimeter short). Upon explaining this situation, several people suggested this a ploy to buy some expensive, proprietary lighting system.
Problem is, this "expensive and proprietary" system is not described, advertised (including on the package) nor is it available. What is avaliable is a two-dollar extender made by another company.
