The “Anti-War” Left

Friday 10 February 2012 - Filed under Uncategorized

You mean to say that much of the anti-war left isn’t really anti-war, but anti-war-only-when-a-Republican-is-in-Charge Team BLUE cheerleaders? The Agonist:

As long ago as 2006 I was warning Glenn [Greenwald], amongst others, that the Democrats supposed urge to cave to the Bush administration on the powers of the Imperial Presidency wasn’t coming “from a place of fear and excess caution” as Glenn put it back then, but rather from “satisfaction with the status quo which is handing the next…Democrat President a massively greater power” by virtue of Bush’s precedent. And thus it has proven, with the bulk of the Democrat and self-vouched liberal rank and file falling in line just like Republicans did for Dubya.

Leftists more concerned with who is in charge rather than the policies used by those in charge? Say it ain’t so!
