There are three foundations an argument takes:

-Pathos - Emotion, e.g. "I believe in this argument!"

-Logos - Logic, e.g. "This is the logic behind this argument."

-and Ethos - Authority, e.g. "This is the authority that backs this argument."

Everyone in American politics has emotion behind their arguments and no one cares for logic. So if you say: "I have free rights to express my opinion," or really any other argument, an American will counter with: "Who says that? That isn't a universal given."
