Yes, I have. It is you who have shown no proof to back up your allegations.

I'm saying first and foremost that you've shown lots of nice quotes, the only problem with those quotes is that none of them backup your central premise: "America's Founders were opposed to intervention and pre-emptive wars. ".
Everything I've posted does indeed support that premise.

Your statement of criticism of the wisdom of the founders is a clear contradiction to what you are saying is the infallible wisdom of the founders.
No, it isn't, because every human being suffers from an inability to see the future. However, a logical law is a logical law, and should not change. 2+2=4 should not change to 2+2=5 in 250 years just because the supreme court of 2258 A.D. thinks that 2+2=4 is not really the intended meaning by the mathematicians of that day.

Well it's your problem if you can't see why that's insulting.Your comment was an implied insult and thus the warning will be maintained not retracted.
If I do have an alleged problem, then I want to understand it. Since you claim to understand it, please explain precisely why that was an implied insult, because I did not intend it as an insult.
