No, as long as I'm a member of this list I don't believe I will
shut up.

Libertarian? Ah yes I remember that 25 years ago or so when I first got on
this list it was very libertarian, back then we were for free trade and a
balanced budget thought objective facts existed and believed that except
for direct experience the scientific method outranked everything else, even
outranked libertarian ideology.  Unlike today none of us were the least
bit squeamish about criticizing the man who was then president, I did a lot
of Clinton bashing myself but looking back on it all my complaints seen
pretty trivial compared with the creature who occupies the oval office now.
But this list has changed radically in the last quarter century and not
always in a good way. I still believe in private property however so if the
owners of this list kick me off I'll make no trouble and go quietly.

Apparently your method of fighting fascism is to criticize and try to
muzzle and ban people who criticize fascists. How is that working out for
you?

If I have made a factual error in any of my posts you would do me a great
service by pointing them out so that I may correct my miscomprehension.
That reminds me, thanks to Dan for pointing out that the great compromise
happened in 1787 not 1797 as I said.
