"President Barack Obama has signed a death knell for the Bill of Rights."

190. This would have been a great post to have a real discussion of these issues had

you left out the snide suggestions such as 'But I guess you were absent or on vacation for that. No, I was not absent, I was very much involved and paying attention. A better way to know that, would have been to ask. Can't say I was during the Clinton era as that was before I became deeply involved in politics.

But this is what kills any kind of real discussion here lately, the need to trash those who have a different view and as a result, nothing much is accomplished as no one wants to be involved in an atmosphere that is so umpleasant.

As far as your points regarding why certain things cannot get done you seem to have answered them all for me. I would love to have that discussion without the vitriol and need to put down others who disagree. But as a lot of people have said, that seems impossible anymore here.
