I believe it (has become) Obvious that the Bill of Rights is, to too-Fucking-many: deemed to be some pinko-commyunist-derived Error on the part of the FF's (er.. founding fathers.)

Proof? por moi ... simply: My Gramma™, an otherwise intelligent Reporter (before 'journalist' was ever a meme.) She, a Bircher, exemplifies the flyover mentality to a fare-thee-unwell.
(Racist? of course; facile unsorted-eclectic 'memory'? Of Course. Etc.)

Then there's the intellectual-resentment (cf. Alex's perfect-sig.) I shudder upon realizing that--even moi--as callow-yout had early-on grokked that: my 'Civics' courses were pure fantasy
/along with that everlasting-BS of Murican Exceptionalism. We ARE the Enemy-to-all higher=principles i.e. to Ourselves.

Billions of words that would frost the balls of Stuart Chase [The Tyranny of Words guy] ... are the pabulum which attended every tyke's Intro-to-Murica, from the cradle on.

Rest Case; we're right on the Tipping-point of (almost-literally in cases like Ann Coulter et al) Throwing Out The Baby with the Bathwater. :-/
Glad I won't live to see THIS denouement as Murican-Ugliness is legendary in its vituperative/shadenfreude-possessed Awfulness.
