If the country is dying its fatal disease is moral-liberalism. While no one denies that there are bad cases of abuse under color of authority, they get prosecuted more often than not.

Should we condemn all politicians because some are corrupt?
Should we condemn all lawyers because some are shysters?
Should we condemn all businessmen because some are doing crooked deals?

The good far outweighs the bad, and yet if we do not stem the corruption in people (which self-avowed libertarians laud as some sort of human right) then we will never see installed non-corrupt leaders.

Our Constitutional Republic ~is~ dying, CJ. It's time for desperate measures. -- FR was founded on the proposition that we restore the Constitutional basis for a free republic. Posting articles that expose government malfeasance are part of that agenda, last I heard.

If the country is dying its fatal disease is moral-liberalism.

I agree, -- moral majority liberal socialists have taken over both our political parties and are destroying respect for our Constitutional principles.
[Or 'constimatoooshional' principles, as you like to term them]

While no one denies that there are bad cases of abuse under color of authority, they get prosecuted more often than not.

When was the last prosecution for infringing on our RKBA's, CJ?

Should we condemn all politicians because some are corrupt?

Who does?

Should we condemn all lawyers because some are shysters?

Seeing they largely police themselves, -- I'd say yes.

Should we condemn all businessmen because some are doing crooked deals?

Hype. Most of us ARE 'businessmen'.

The good far outweighs the bad, and yet if we do not stem the corruption in people (which self-avowed libertarians laud as some sort of human right)

The 'corrupt' will always be with us CJ. Only a police state imagines that it can 'stem' all sin.

then we will never see installed non-corrupt leaders.

You admit having voted for leaders who admit infringing on our individual RKBA's CJ. - Not me.

If you think good politicians outnumber the bad ones you're on crack.
