I think the principle that “lying is okay as long as the ends justify the means” is pretty much the normal condition of government, politicians, bureaucrats of all sorts, law enforcement, courts, the press, many so-called “Christian” churches, and so on.
I’m not advocating the principle, jut remarking that I think the institutions are rotten and can’t be trusted at all.
It’s not limited to communists an mohamadeans.
Well I hope you don’t believe I am advocating it either, because I am not. Just telling you what Democrats, RINOs, and those who support them believe. 🙂
