Bush Vowed to Defend the Good in the World

Glenn Greenwald has a new book out called A Tragic Legacy, where he writes...

The president who vowed to lead America in a moral crusade to win hearts and minds around the world has so inflamed anti-American sentiment that America's moral standing in the world is at an all-time low. The president who vowed to defend the Good in the world from the forces of Evil has caused the United States to be held in deep contempt by large segments of virtually every country on every continent of the world, including large portions of nations with which the U.S. has historically been allied. The president who vowed to undertake a war in defense of American values and freedoms has presided over such radical departures from the defining values and liberties of this country that many Americans find their country and its government unrecognizable. And the president who vowed to lead the war for freedom and democracy has made torture, rendition, abductions, lawless detentions of even our own citizens, secret "black site" prisons, Abu Ghraib dog leashes, and orange Guantánamo jumpsuits the strange, new symbols of America around the world.

If you want a president who represents what is truly good in this world, you want Ron Paul.

Unfortunately, the powers that be in Iowa don't want Iowans to hear his message. That's why he is the only Republican candidate out of the ten running who was not invited to attend the upcoming Iowans for Tax Relief/Iowa Christian Alliance presidential forum.

It's ironic, considering the fact that Dr. Paul has been named "The Taxpayer's Best Friend" by the National Tax Payers Union and holds the constitutional view that matters of morality and religion should be decided at the state and local levels.

Alas, he wasn't invited because Ed Failor, the executive VP of the so-called Iowans for Tax Relief and the man in charge of the event, is a senior advisor to John "Bomb Iran" McCain.

Please don't allow this hypocrite to silence Dr. Paul's message of Liberty and Constitutional Government. Investigate his views for yourself.

Thanks, Iowa! http://ronpaul2008.com
