He has dramatically slashed taxes, and his top tax rate is basically the equivalent of Reagan's. He hasn't even gone meaningfully after the war crimes of the previous administration. His health care achievements are the rough equivalent of those proposed and endorsed by conservatives for years (until they objected on the mere fact that it was a liberal who would bring home the bacon). His most important judicial nominees - perhaps the most important thing a president can do - were all widely acclaimed by conservatives (again, it is only upon a liberal's support that neocons turn on their former stars). Time and time again it is a centered guide. Even gay folks are upset at how little he's done for that constituency.<br /><br />But nothing will stop Jeff Sadow from consistently freaking out about trivial comments and normal-course-of-behavior presidential stuff, and imagining apocalyptic death spiral of freedom and liberty. The simple nature of his scary liberal characterizations show just how well he has trained himself to submit to the untouchable truth of republican talking points. In the past, his sort would be relegated to a street corner conspiracy theorist, but in today's neocon environment, he isn't even shunned.Mr. Harris Plutocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272042050207617611noreply@blogger.com
