I think were going to have to agree to disagree

I appreciate the time you took to actually rebuttal and clarify your previous comment. I can now see where you are coming from with a much greater sense of clarity. I'll apologize for not looking deeper into your original comment and seeing that you were just simply pointing out that there are more factors involved here than just the law degree and that this one aspect of the lawmaker is actually, in fact, only one of the many that can lead to the undermining of our personal freedoms. On this fact you are correct, I do agree with the up most vigor.
What I do not think we can agree on, however, is the role of passion within the confines of a democracy . Even if a comment made by a fiery individual is full of logical fallacy, and even if the comment made is offensive, wrong, or just a down right lie, it stands to reason that comment was at least made with the up most good intent or at the very least to somehow create the vision of America that the individual who made the comment foresees as ideal. That comment doesn't necessarily degrade anything within the confines of the law and in the realm of personal liberty, actually stands to verify the fact that we are a nation of varied peoples, ideologies, and ideas of perfection. By this series of logic I mean something along the lines of Voltaire when he said something along the lines of "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
I hope that clarifies what I meant through my previous comment, but if it doesn't I understand, I'm having trouble at the moment putting exactly what I meant into words.

Furthering my position on passion, Passion is one aspect of humanity within which we don't have to be logical and through this illogical process we uplift ourselves to a place much higher than we ever could with logic and reasoning. For example, lets examine the circumstances under which America was founded. It was very illogical of us to take on the most powerful empire in the world at the time, and it was illogical for us to throw down our lives for the principles of freedom (and it still is), but what happened? Debatably, We created possibly the greatest empire that the world has ever known. All of this was made possible by the passions of a group of men whom we now hail as heroes and standards of greatness.
My point is that without a respect for passion and the illogical fervor it allows, there is no reason to even bother trying to make a sound logical decision. This is because, at least from my point of view, people don't work that way. We are emotional beings, throwing ourselves to the fire because that is what we believe to be right. In a perfect world, logic and reasoning would be the defining factors that all people adhere to, but in reality, this is not a perfect world, and the people who live within this world are not creatures of logic and reasoning, but instead fiery passion. If we can harness this fact, we can forcibly apply logic to our passions and force ourselves closer and closer to that set of perfect logical ideals that should govern all men.
