Firewall: Slowly… Slowly…

Bill Whittle’s Firewall on the slow changes in the bill of rights: HT HotAir. This is all the same as the old story about how you boil a frog.  You don’t throw it straight into boiling water, you put it in room temperature water and you turn the heat up slowly.  The frog doesn’t notice [...]
