There is only one fight over the Bill of Rights, those who want adhere to it, and those who want to squint at it and see only the things in there that support their own brand of politics (and omit the things that don't support their own personal policy preferences).

Does your version of history precede 9/11?

I was referring to the fight over whether the BoR would be misconstrued by people such as yourself to mean that we only had the rights that were enumerated.

You need to remember that we pre-exist our government. We were here. We formed the States. The States formed the Federal -- not national -- government. We delegated certain limited and defined powers to the new government. All other rights and powers are retained by the people or to the States.

If you need more history than that, you will need to do your own homework, but please do get an education on what limited constitutional government means. Learn what freedom means. Then live it, love it, and defend it.
