Unfortunately, your own misleading characterization of the Federalists
lacks the quality of the post to which you responded. Please tell us
the view of the Federalist Papers co-author, James Madison regarding
the Alien and Sedition Acts. That was, of course, the same Federalist
James Madison who was the author of the Bill of Rights.
Mis-characterizing the views of all of the Federalists ("The
Federalists were very narrow-minded.... ."), as you have done, does
neither you nor those who may be following this thread any good
service.

As your own misleading comment above clearly confirms.
