Indeed, Barone is almost always subdued--and is often scathing.

I myself have been saying since 2008 that Obama is a prisoner of the past-- of old thinking. Barone doesn't even mention Obmama's cliched pursuit of strategic arms treaties with Russia. Why is START important? The Russian nuclear arsenal is not really frightening right now. START does nothing to address what is really frightening-- nuclear proliferation.

American Liberals are all stuck in the past. The NAA(L)CP still thinks its 1964. The Anti-War Left still thinks it's 1969. The FemiNazis still think it's 1973. And there are the "normal" Democrats who still think that it's 1935.

Agreed. Karl Marx's ideas are from 1848.
