< I think anyone who initiated anything would not live long, or at least, be threatened with death. They can make noises but don’t dare cross the line. >
Wow. That’s quite a statement. So you’re saying that ANYONE in public life who says ANYTHING is risking his or her life by speaking out and defending the Constitution? That almost sounds threatening, considering it’s coming from someone who’s been here about 3 months. Maybe you’re just one of those “We’re-All-Gonna-Die” people. They seem to permeate FR here lately with the “Why-Try?-We’re-Screwed” mentality. Did you know that negativity can be contagious? Emotional contagion, they call it. I wonder what Alinsky called it? I really should look that up.
< Sites like FR, conservative talk radio and much more will probably be gone within a few years. >
Right.
They can make noises but don’t dare cross the line.
