Why? What you are saying is that they are free to be themselves within
*your* restrictive freedom.
Why would your "free to be me" not apply to those in Aryan Nations? Are
they not merely exercising their own freedom as you are?
I see no basis for your statement
> Still free to be you and me,
When you're saying that they are not *really* free.
What else would people not be "free" to do, say, or believe?
