David Brooks, one of the housebroken "conservatives" at the great and good Slimes, reveals that all in all, he's not a "conservative" at all, but a promoter and advocate of a despicable kind of feelgood fascism, where elite "commissions" would tell us all what to do, and local cadres made sure that we do it.

And then we all live happily ever after.

This may be the most repugnant thing I've read from Brooks - worse even than his 0bama "pant crease" mania from 2008 - and that's saying something.

If he's a conservative I'm a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.

You mean that hasn't been going on since the Brains Trust in the 1930's and the Eisenhower nomination in 1952 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

Gosh, how could I have made that mistake? School me, Brooksie! <snort!>

But be careful, Brooksie .... browbeating the People could get you browbeaten right back. Remember Madame Guillotine?

.... feelgood fascism ....

Good one. Instantly stolen. </filch>
