The Constitution does exist, in part, to protect the rights of the minority from the actions of the majority. This being the case:

I will assume that you are wholly in favor of gay marriage, which is quite possibly the most clear-cut example of a minority requiring protection from the majority today.
I would like to note that protecting the rights of the minority, and imposing the will of the minority on the majority, are not synonymous acts.
I believe we are at a technological impasse of sorts in regard to the Second Amendment, as it is all too clear that a well-regulated, rifle-armed militia will simply pose no opposition to the extraordinary weapons afforded to the United States military. Please advise: should we consider de-fanging the military, so that the militia might stand a better chance; or would it be more appropriate to distribute Predator drones and Hellfire missiles to the public?

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
