Technically, these two exceptions exist in U.S. law as well, despite the fact that they aren't spelled out in the Constitution. You can be charged inciting a riot (public order) or with obsenity (immoral speech).

In many ways Iraq represents exactly the sort of state Conservative Christians in America would like to build. If it is successful, even for a time, look for it to be held up not just as a model for the middle east, but as a model for us as well...

I thought obscenity laws were left to the states? Is there a federal law against obscenity? The riots, yes, but that arguably has a basis in the constitution because large scale disturbances often result in dead innocents, which tends to go against the "life, liberty and pursuit" thing.

As for that last, I agree completely, and I find it disturbing as hell.
