And so does Glenn Greenwald. He notes that, of seven adjectival phrases James Carville hurls at Republicans, four apply, at least to some degree, to Dear Leader, too.
And, beyond that, while Obama isn't a global warming denier, or even a minimalist, he doesn't consider it that serious. He never considered carbon taxes, and barely lifted a finger to help any cap-and-trade legislation before running away.
So? He's at least halfway Republican, if not more so! And, given the "no respect for life" issue, at least in other countries, that's why my poll at right legitimately asks if he's a neocon.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
