Well, one of us is still missing it, Mr. arrogant. What exact “original philosophy at the Founding” are you referring to? Please cite your source, oh blessed one.

Your argument is silly, and does nothing to establish a special case for Federal employees. There are all sorts of lunatics.

For instance, by analogy (though I would have reversed the order of the sentence to make the argument more coherent): There may be lunatics who believe that fighting the Capitalists is equivalent to attacking some random employee, therefore the need to enact a whole separate set of laws “intended to curb that urge.”

Or: There may be lunatics who believe that fighting the Church is equivalent to attacking some random parishioner, hence the need for a whole separate set of laws “intended to curb that urge.”

Or: There may also be lunatics who believe that fighting the Steelers is equivalent to attaching some random fan, hence the need for laws “intended to curb that urge.”

Please curb yourself if you can't present better “soundbites and euphemisms.”

I expect better at FR. Sheesh.

The Federalist Papers comes as close as it gets as to the philosophy of the Founders. It has none of the rhetorical devices you quoted or political slogans.

Capitalism does not represent the American People as the federal government does so your analogy is, once again, vacuous. Neither does a Church. The government is a unique institution and engenders unique hatreds and obsessions.

Your expectations appear to be satisfied by random ravings.
