You have every right to consult and take to heart all the crackpots and eccentrics you wish and to use the canned misinterpretations they post but don't expect to convince anyone capable of rational thought.
ROFLMELAO!
Redundant little booger, aren't you? You used almost the exact same wording on the above thread.
Yet you again have contributed nothing. No sources, no precedent, no quotes from Montesquieu, Blackstone, Jay or anyone else. Just your own pathetic ramblings with nothing to back it up.
-----------------
Well, you have your source for what you've said.
You clear have no interest in FREEDOM or TRUTH, only the affirmation of your own, erroneous beliefs.
Guess some folks are just so comfortable in their slavery they refuse to see it for what it really is, and absolutely panic when anyone tries to draw their attention to it.
Good day.
That's telling him!
By the way, thanks for the discussion on the Bill of Rights.
I guess I would find the idea of the Bill of Rights NOT applying to the States easier to accept if the Federal government was actually being run in accordance with the ideas expressed in the highlighted passages from the Federalist which you cite.
I tend to interpret our Constitution quite literally. So, since the Second Amendment doesn't actually contain the words "Congress shall make no law infringing on the right of the people to keep and bear arms", and instead simply says the right "shall not be infringed", I assume it applies to the entirety of our government(s).
You, at least, have provided a coherent argument to the contrary which I shall digest and consider. Thanks again.
Just as I suspected that "quote" from me did not exist and you link to its "source" clearly shows that. If this is a typical example of your accuracy in your quotes you cannot be shocked when people don't buy them.
I read and UNDERSTAND the great thinkers you reference and don't attempt to selective pull out out-of-context quotes to butress weak arguments.
If you believe out of context quotations to be a search for truth then I can only shake my head and laugh.
