What I put first, above EVERYTHING, including my own desires, is this COUNTRY; I'm not one of these "line in the sand" types......

Hmm, if the Founders had thought like that, we'd still be drinking tea and have a King. Our Constitution and particularly the Bill of Rights is a little different than tarrifs on goods, if we dont draw the line there, where do we draw it?

Very well put. This country was founded on the principles of INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS. But few seem to remember that or understand it anymore, unfortunately.
