"Any American can assert a right, great Americans give up their rights, to help those they share nothing else with, but a love for this country."-Peter Johnson Jr. Fox NewsDo you want to be the one to "give up" your Constitutional rights, for the love of your country? I know it doesn't make any sense at all, and runs counter to what we assumed were guarantees, but this is a great example of conservative rationalization at its most bizarre.
But the campaign to turn the nation against building a mosque in N.Y. has worked. The supposed protectors and know-it-all scholars of the Constitution see our "rights" as more symbolic now, open to the will and whims of public sentiment. So if the public would like to ban hand guns, should "great Americans give up their rights?"
