I guess you also won't mind if Congress passes a law prohibiting us from petitioning the government through advertising, such as for instance, buying a full page ad in the WSJ or NYT.

Only if it's libel.

You may be interested to know that many of our founding fathers, including Madison, were initially against writing a Bill of Rights, fearing that Government would take the position that the citizens retained only those rights which were specified.

Yes I've read the federalists papers and the 9th Amendment as well as Article I section 8 and the Necessary and Proper Clause.

OK, well I guess we disagree on CFR. At least.
