RE: Does America respect freedom of speech only when it is what everyone else says?
To your question whether political debate is worthless or educational, you might be in interested in how Jonathan Haidt's addresses the issue in "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion".
Doesn't he believe in moral intuitionism? Also what is a good person really? Good isn't static so it's another test which is always changing depending on who is judging at the time. If you have to pass a test to be declared good is there anything you could do to guarantee you'll always pass?
