Actually, it is the libertarian mag Reason with the screed, inexplicably given space by the Post. As an op-ed, this piece by Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie might be quasi-passable. As news analysis, it’s misanalysis, starting with the claim that President Barack Obama is “moralistic” like former President Jimmy Carter.
Beyond that, the “whatever” is a puff piece for libertarian-style nonsense, California version, from the online and hardcopy editors of reason.
Worse than being simplistic about Obama, in fact, from where I sit, is that it perpetuates simplistic myths about Carter.
