I wonder, am I the only person on this forum that has been threatened with assignation for expressing a point of view?
Should I be flattered? Frightened?

I rarely take his posts seriously, and frankly the first time I read this particular one, I just skimmed over it but today I got to thinking about it and re-read it.
I have to think that not many others take his posts seriously either else I'm sure that some of my friends would have PM'd me or spoken out against such brazen stupidity but alas, I have received no words of support, nor have I noted any such posts to such effect. And to think that the forum has a very heavy population of liberals (the folks with a heart). Sigh.
I hope, though this forum is populated with a lot of people with differing points of view, that we have not reached a point where outlandish offers/threats to take a life occur because somebody gets pissed off at a person for expressing an opinion.
This particular thread, started by my good friend, Bobert, can only serve to allow those who are distressed by the Supreme Court decision to vent their disappointment. No problem with that. If it makes them feel better, so be it.
But it IS a decision of the highest court in the land. No amount of "wishing" will undo it. The only thing one can do is live with it. Just as us conservatives must live with Roe V Wade.
