Baldwin: The Culture of Deception

Chuck Baldwin‘s latest commentary cites Scott Mclellan’s new book and makes bold statements against George Bush.

According to McClellan’s book, the Iraq war was sold to the American people with a sophisticated “political propaganda campaign” led by President George W. Bush himself. McClellan charges that Bush aimed at “manipulating sources of public opinion” and “downplaying the major reason for going to war.” He also says he was deceived by some within the President’s inner circle about the leak of a CIA operative’s name.

Baldwin also clearly distinguishes himself as a non-interventionist.

McClellan’s book will be a bitter pill to swallow. To think that the war in Iraq was “unnecessary” creates angst and even anger in the meekest of men. Yet, how many times have governments spent the lives and fortunes of their people for causes and reasons that historians would later judge to be “unnecessary”? It might even be safe to say that most of history’s wars have been “unnecessary.”

The article continues with a damning statement against the duopoly.

Sadly, America’s civil magistrates (especially at the federal level) have been ignoring the Constitution for much of the 20th Century, and–for the most part–still ignore the Constitution today. And it has not mattered to a tinker’s dam which party has been in power. Both major parties are equal opportunity violators of the Constitution.
