Oh, I don't argue power's corrupting capacity is any respecter of party -- only that the respective demographics of the Big Two have differing levels of resistance to that corruption. And in the end, it's a matter of individual character. Now which party was it that definitely makes a thing of individual character again? And is this not measurable in the glee with which the opposition pounces upon any displays of flawed individual character, trying to advertise that this is altogether prevalent among this party? One suspects there is no integrity in such posturing. The nearest to integrity they come in this has been public remark that "Well, nobody expects that level of probity of one of us," leaving unsaid what they've been doing to lower the expectation.

I've heard no person of the center, nor anyone with a level head, excoriate the Bush Administration with justice. It seems strictly the province of the ill-advised and the lunatic, and these people patently have no justice at all. It leaves me skeptical as to the mental hygiene standards of the Left.

You can always start, I suppose, with AG Reno's not defending the Second Amendment from that Administration's encroachments, in particular the antigun provisions of the Omnibus Crime Bill of 1994. (Antigun lawmaking is quite pro-genocide, sayeth our JPFO -- and I think no Jew should be unaware of the JPFO's arguments and philosophy, be he never so liberal or never so Hasidic; one should know how to promote genocide and then take care never to tolerate such promotion.) She was in an excellent position to tell Bill Clinton his desired regulations ran athwart the Second Amendment, but no, there was nary a peep from her or her staff against being directed to enforce an unconstitutionality, and it wasn't like there were any progun partisans in the Clinton cabinet anyway. I'll dig up the cites, that's only fair; and if you can't recall the dubious behavior of the Reno attorney-generalship, I suppose I'll need to jog your memory.

Here's a page on JPFO's site setting out in compact form what the JPFO believes to be genocide's essentials and its preconditions. Israeli society seems to understand this very well indeed.
