"annoyingly leftist and pro war" - that's not a combination you hear every day.

  It's not odd if you don't conflate the meaning of left and right with Democrat and Republican. The Bush administration has been solidly left.

    Bush is No True Scotsman, apparently.

      I'm not sure what you're getting at. Bush is a national socialist, and an imperialist. He fooled some conservatives in 2000 when he talked quite a bit of the talk, but that fell apart quickly. In modern American history warmongering has overwhelmingly been the business of the left. Guns and butter and all that. Go count up military actions and pair them to presidents.

          Maybe he's trying to qualify for Godwin's law.

  There have been many wars by left-wing governments in world history, even in recent world history. Wasn't Johnson the one that escalated the war in Vietnam?
