I think you might like to know that Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops was made without Kojima's involvement, hence why it doesn't push the same liberal nonsense. The anti-nuke sentiment can be easily blamed on simply being Japanese. Virtually no Japanese know the truth about why the US dropped the bombs nor do they acknowledge any of Japan's war crimes (in fact I challenge anyone to find even one single person in all of Japan who does).

:Well, very little of Kojima's involvement, anyhow. Apparently, he did insist that Portable Ops's story be directly tied to MGS4's storyline.
:And yeah, I definitely liked Portable Ops as a game and especially as a story (also helps that, the whole Null business aside, it was surprisingly faithful to the lore thus far, which is a breath of fresh air especially considering that Kojima seems to have an obsessive need to constantly retcon his storyline). Probably the only game actually MADE by Kojima beyond a producer role that I actually liked is Snake Eater, mostly because it's surprisingly conservative especially by the usual standards pushed with Hideo Kojima games. It certainly came the closest to actually promoting patriotism in a positive light (sure, it did come across as being a bit closer to Nazi/Soviet-style patriotism with The Boss's speech, but it still was better than other Kojima-made games where the main character was either forced to serve their country or otherwise being very anti-American in outlook, while the villains generally tended to be very patriotic to America [mostly the secret villains].). That, and it for once depicts the Communists as full-on villains, not either as the lesser of two evils at best or genuinely heroic at worst.
:Other than that, Metal Gear Solid did have an arguable pro-life or at least anti-abortion statement, from Liquid, oddly enough, since he explicitly compared the abortions during the Super Baby Method to murder. Of course, that being said, Liquid at the same time seemed to attribute himself and his brothers as murderers, or at least accomplices to murder since before they were even born during that time, when in actuality, they were closer to outright victims.
