Of course this wouldn't work for the likes of us 'wee folk'. His (and Hillary's) kind are held to a different standard.

We’re Comey serious about Niebuhr he would note that as one of America's most astute thinkers, Reinhold Niebuhr, has recalled to our consciousness a fact which both liberalism and Marxism have ignored with almost fatal consequences to our civilization. Evil, he points out, is something real, not an appearance only, and the proper name for it is sin. Its locus is not in institutions, which are but a reflection of human purposes, but in human nature itself.<br /> It is pride, self-righteousness, greed, envy, hatred and sloth that are the real evils and the ones from which social evils spring. When man is thwarted in his attempts to realize justice it is because he is thwarted by his own sinful predisposition. The recognition of this inherent predisposition to sin helps to explain why the best laid plans of men never quite succeed.<br /><br />Sin is not organizational and never corporate....it is personal and universal. While we all sin, we are not all dirty cops.Alistarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04275345322498381796noreply@blogger.com
