Now for your perfect example of your concept of liberty, try again. Where is reality of your concept of liberty in the US? You just criticized Obama in another thread. 'The founding of the US republic' you say? Where are they now in relation to your concept of liberty? Maybe Ron Paul can bring back that concept, but has to win first. Will he? And China? They remain communists as far as i know. Economic liberty, perhaps but not quite, but what about the other liberties.
A concrete example of a country now or in the past, including Bastiats time where the law was not perverted, and liberty as you have defined existed. That would be enlightening.
