I don't think this is accurate. ranagrande Send a noteboard - 06/07/2013 10:58:43 PM

View original postDespite recent liberal policies and restrictions on our freedoms, the US remains the "most free" developed country in the world.

In various studies I've seen on the subject, the United States is often in the top ten, but is never number one. Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the Netherlands, and a handful of Scandinavian countries are always recognized as being more "free" than the USA.
