Good grief man, you quoted the Federalist PAPERS to me as gloss on the Bill of Rights. The papers were written in 1788. The first Congress met in 1789.

I thought this was a place to debate ideas without people calling each other ignorant and such. I post under my own name not behind a screen name, and I am willing to own up publicly to what I say here. Frankly, the stupidity of some of the debates around here, and the DU type name-calling just makes me sick.

Frankly, the stupidity of some of the debates around here,

Who are you calling stupid? The only one to make a mistake in this debate has been you.

[Dead Corpse]

Here are the minutes of the First Congress. Read. Enlighten yourself. Stop being so ignorant.

Stupidity? I take it that means you have no means of contradicting my points and are now falling back to the age old tactic of namecalling and redirecting the issue.

Nice going Ace. Instead of challenging yourself and learning something, just run and hide.
