Not satirical. The modern US government is taking so many bribes (“lobbying”) and doing the highest bidders bidding. We are taxed at rates much higher than we should and it seems that many modern politicians ignore our liberties and/or do various acts of cronyism and protect themselves and their buddies from justice.
This is an issue transcending political ideologies, parties, and policies. Its an issue of a corrupt and often tyrannical system. Of course, there will be some good politicians (in the sense that they aren’t corrupt or tyrannical), but many aren’t. Are political assassinations against these people (if they truly are disregarding the peoples natural rights) immoral or unjust? Is it truly wrong to punish those in power who ignore their responsibilities, or outright abuse their power? I do not think so.
