“Brings a thought to mind. Liberals say the gun laws are “outdated”. Why don’t they see freedom of speech as “outdated” as well? Hmmm...”
My run-on sentence question:
Because they are the heirs of federalists who saw no need for a Bill of Rights but grudgingly agreed when many of the states otherwise refused to ratify the Constitution, distrusting the possibility of a strong federal government constantly seeking to aggrandize its own power at the expense of its citizens, the thinking of the original statists that someday they could say, “The BOR is outdated.”?

I may be a smarta** in all other things, but this election is deadly serious. Our modern experiment in whether men and women are able to govern themselves either continues beginning November 8th or it dies.
To some extent freedom of speech is curtailed. If you work for a government agency you couldn’t endorse a candidate running for office, for instance, when I worked for the County as a mere secretary. I think the Unions curtail freedom of speech, too, and lots of other entities (banks come to mind). If you can lose your job for voicing a\ true opinion, based on fact, you have lost freedom of speech.
