If you feel so strongly different about your post, then you should have clicked the "Private Reply" option.
But your whine is especially weak considering you included everyone in your rather idiotic statement to Jim:
“I know that you don’t like Ron Paul and are pretty iffy about most libertarians, but we are the idiots who throw ourselves on political grenades defending the Constitution, even when it is unpopular, so that the rest of us don’t have to throw ourselves on real ones.”
Playing(?) stupid about the posting habits on this forum doesn't enhance your image from the notable lack of an on-topic-response to my original reply to you.
I decided a long time ago that any post to me that begins with a personal attack, as yours did Berlin Freeper --"Actually, you are the idiots.." etc, etc -- doesn't deserve a reply from me, and indeed isn't even worth reading --- so don't take it personally.
Here's a metaphor for the point that I and many here have been trying to make:
One day you wake up and find you have a problem with black widow spiders (al qaeda) in your house. Indeed, these black widows can been deadly and a member of your family gets bitten and gets very sick. But instead of trying to figure out the sanest way to wipe out the spiders, in your grief, you go insane and are willing to try ANYTHING to kill the spiders. Your crazy neighbor, (Obama) who you never have much liked before, decides that the way to get rid of your spider problem is to use "a nuke"(a secret kill list). You and the whole neighborhood cheer the crazy neighbor (Obama) who just killed those spiders that killed your family member -- without realizing that he may well have killed you and everyone in the neighborhood, and made the area completely unlivable for the next century.
Either because you don't understand or don't want to --you don't see that this nuke has produced (legal and political) nuclear fallout now hanging above your head that is more likely to kill you & yours than the spiders ever were -- and, not just you, but all Americans are now in the fallout zone. You don't see that crazy neighbor (Obama) just blew up the US Constitution and a legal framework that dates all the way back to the Magna Carta (habeas corpus) to seize power that has never been granted to ANY president before him -- and for what? -- just to kill these few spiders. You don't see that by letting the crazy neighbor (Obama) become a hero for "ridding your house of spiders" means he's more likely to use nukes again, killing more people in the process of killing your spiders than the spiders alone could dream of killing.
You don't seem to be able to see any of this because you can't smell, feel or taste it yet -- but there are those of us who do see it -- and we all hope that we are very wrong about it.
I worked in Human Resources law for over thirty years -- the kind of job where you have to examine all the legal ramifications of every policy and project best and worst case scenarios. I'm telling you that this is bad, very bad -- a president who can now draw up a secret hit list that includes American citizens and they have no legal recourse, they don't even know that they are on it until they are dead. This is absolutely insane! I can't believe that anyone calling themselves a Conservative is OK with this. I don't care if this guy was the worse scum on earth and probably was -- it isn't what Obama did to him. It's what Obama can now do to anyone, anywhere, as long as he brands them "associated with terrorism".
Any "cure" that kills the patient, isn't a cure -- it's poison!
