Now, no need for an ad hominem,
my statement is exactly in line with
what the founders authorized the created
general government to do.

“no need for an ad hominem”

Ad hominem has a very specific meaning. It is a logical fallacy meaning “to the man.” It is the attempt to repudiate an argument by referring to some aspect of a arguer’s character, history, nature, etc. Example: “His opinion about beer cannot be right because he’s from France and only drinks wine.”

I regard those who slavishly allow a government not even remotely like the one the founding fathers intended to rule them as sheep and slaves. It’s an opinion, not an argument.
