You're kidding me - Right?!

I’ll trade you this piece of land for those pretty beads you have I’ll trade you this moose hide  for that house you have What can you trade me for this country…my country? This land of freedom and Opportunity… With streams that run pure (still) And land to spare for growth Can you give me a decent  place to live and worship? and education for all? What’s that? I have to wear a Burka…? . And I have to cover my arms and legs even though it’s 110 degrees and be obedient to all men FORGET IT! And I can’t go where I want And I have to be subservient And I have to do things against my will? And I have to become a martyr?! For what? You may as well grab me by the throat and kill me now! I won’t trade this land for anything Sorry Mr. Ayatollah You can take your beliefs… …AND SHOVE IT! (Where is God when you need him?)

Of course I realize the last line is rhetorical.
