Thanks for the gratuitous put down. The Constitution is a bulwark, not a guarantee. The Soviet Union had a Constitution, with an actual Bill of Rights that closely mirrored ours. Of course it was ignored completely, and used merely as a diplomatic device. The Colonists had the Magna Carta, something I’m sure your have heard of but may have forgotten momentarily. It also was a bulwark, but not a guarantee. To imagine that a regime, underwritten or not, is to be followed mindlessly because of window-dressing, and notwithstanding actual arbitrary harm, is... to quote recent phrase I read, simply ridiculous. Godspeed and good luck.

Not a “put down,” just an observation, and certainly not gratuitous. You were the one posting anti-American agit-prop.

You Klan people like to imagine yourselves as wealthy Ashley Wilkes whipping hapless Negroes into submission. However, in an actual slave regime, you, as an obviously uneducated, unread person, would more likely be on the receiving end of the lash. Perhaps you should be thankful for the 13th Amendment.
