...your ignorance and your contempt of what the Founders actually did ....

When it's been I who've posted up big swatches of The Federalist Papers to back me up? You're leading with your chin.

.... the Founders were rightly suspicious of "the People" forming a tyranny of the majority.

Nice little fascist sentiment ..... but overthrown and confuted by the irrefutable fact that the Framers insisted that the Constitution be ratified by the People, and only by the People.

They did it again by stipulating that the Militia should be the People in arms, and again by passing the Second Amendment to ensure that the People should always be armed.

So much for your idea that the Framers held the People in contempt.

Your authoritarianism is hereby publicly exposed. Go over and stand in the corner with Non-Sequitur and the other Silver Shirts.

Not my sentiments -- they're James Madison's. You're telling us he was a fascist? My, my, my....

You're just a plain old whackadoodle.
