Do you agree and should it apply to the USA ?

Correct, that's freedom of speech.

Except liberty means that people also have a right not to listen to you. So, for example, you cannot enter my house uninvited and demand that I listen to you tell me things I do not want to hear (same applies to me entering your house). If you want to go into a public park and preach anything from Christianity to communism (as long as you aren't creating a disturbance), that is your right but people also have a right to remain outside of the range of your voice.

You're paraphrasing George Orwell ("Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear").
I completely agree. 100%. However, it does actually apply in the US to a much greater extent than it does in much of the rest of the world.

Of course you're at liberty to tell people and the US what it doesn't want to hear. Of course, they're at liberty to not listen to you.

And we have the right to chose not to listen .
Having seen your comments in the past , I've chosen not to listen.

You have freedom to speak your mind. I have the freedom to either agree, disagree, or just ignore you.
