Mr. Reilly,

It should be pointed out that the rights you so easily dismiss were not written for simply one generation, and the millions of citizens and millions of armed forces that have died supporting those freedoms are now cursing you existence. You further compound your cavalier attitude toward our rights by taking an unalloyed Marxist position of placing economics before the rights you believe can simply be trashed and never missed by the citizenry.

Well, Mr. Reilly, bumper sticker philosophy 101 isn’t much of an education as you have so adequately proved. If you choose not to exercise your rights then you can obviously do so.. But if you begin to impinge on the freedoms I have fought for as generation before me have fought for then you have dug your own grave.

No one is going to “take MY liberties” without a spirited rebuff of that attempt. You, I would imagine, will be at the mall.
