David Brooks, of the New York Times, complains that Conservative Leaders are Mean
Anyway, conservative voters aren’t listening to conservative leaders like Rush LimbaughÂ
The NYT’s Favorite Republican, John McCainÂ
David Brooks of the New York Times pens a liberal Mainstream Media member’s wet dream of the opposition in today’s MSM flagship.
It’s hard to know where to begin on this one. Brooks’ take on McCain is a MSM equivalent of a sloppy kiss. No tongue this time; but there’s plenty time for that later.
Brooks’ talks yet again of the splintering of the conservative movement. To the David Brooks in the MSM, conservatism is just like the flip side of liberalism: just a bunch of people trying to get their hands on the levers of powers, no principles needed.
An oppositional mentality set in: if the liberals worried about global warming, it was necessary to regard it as a hoax. If The New York Times editorial page worried about waterboarding, then the code of conservative correctness required one to think it O.K.
Apostates and deviationists were expelled or found wanting, and the boundaries of acceptable thought narrowed. Moderate Republicans were expelled for squishiness. Millions of coastal suburbanites left the party in disgust.
Ah, to be David Brooks.
Ah, to write for the Times.
Where everyone who disagrees with your opinion of the world doing it for the sheer joy derived from opposing a liberal viewpoint.
That, of course, is just an interesting side benefit of thinking independently of the New York Times’ party line.
Just because liberals can shift in the course of years from believing the Earth is threatened with Global Cooling to their latest fad, Global Warming, doesn’t mean that those who take a more reasoned, longer look at the cycles of climate are of similar bent.
Conservatives have heard the Global Warming sideshow before: when it was Global Cooling. Because we don’t want the liberal’s favorite fix for everyting–more taxes, more government, more regulation–we are, in David Brooks’ eyes, opposing Global Warming for the sheer contrariness of it.
But what of John McCain, who in David Brooks’ view, the hope of a new conservative Rebirth?

Find a real job…who reads the New York Times?I heard your big mouth on O’Reilly tonight talking about Palin…she has so much more class than you and your stupid Liberals..you all act like you are so smart but really you try and use some big words but really there is not much to any of you!! Sarah Palin has more going for her than any of you will ever have.. have you ran a State? Were you ever considered to be VP of the country? I don’t think so, all you guys do is protect and say whatever you can to cover what BO is all about. I’m no scholar but to think you don’t see him for what he is …is unbelievable…like he has ever don’t anything big in his life…you and the media got him elected….he’s a Idiot just like you!!
