That's pretty much view of the guy, yeah.
Someone on AH.com once said that some people are attracted to his bold, no-nonsense stand against the Iraq War, which leads them to overlook that he spends the rest of his time taking bold, all-nonsense stands on everything else.
Enjoy living in a police state funded by foreign investors and increasingly worthless fiat currency? If not, then by all means get cranky about it.
Is the idea of fiscal responsibility all nonsense?
Or what about the idea that the current level of defense spending is unsustainable?
Or the idea that citizens do have the right to be free in their personal effects without unwarranted searches and seizures?
These may indeed be extreme ideas, in this day of politics-as-spectator-sport, but the only cranks I see here are Tomasky and his ilk, who apparently can't accept the idea that the empire is being crushed under its own weight.
