He is the second guy to make this suggestion.

The first one was the son of a carpenter. Lived about 2000 years ago. What was his name again?...

Who is Brooks again?

The 13th (or 14th) Apostle or something?

I heard him on the radio.

He’s a NeverTrumper at his core.

How can I “love my enemy” when they use the American Intel services to spy on my candidate and completely get away with it?

“In Brooks’ words, “values are supposed to be positive... It’s impossible to maintain the moral content of our values and use them as a weapon at the same time.”

Explain to me again what is the moral content of the values of the Leftists who promote infanticide?

When you compromise with evil, you do evil.

“A house divided against itself can not stand”.
Which is precisely why this house should be torn down so the respective parts can go their own way!

Oh yeah, except that when you compromise with The Devil, The Devil wins. I used to think this guy was on to something, but the longer I listen the crazier he sounds. Part of it is his inability or unwillingness to call evil what it is.

if we want to save America -- we need to "love our enemy."

nope

The enemy of conservatism is evil. To love evil is a contradiction

“Arthur Brooks Suggests All of Us ‘Love Your Enemy’—as it says in OUR ‘good book’ !

How can I “love my enemy” when Their ‘good book’ says— Kill your neighbor if he doesn’t convert to Islam ???

The left’s only answer to “the political divide” (which they created, on purpose, of course) is full, complete and unconditional surrender to the left.

Imo, any and all who play along are just enemy in weak-suck clothing.

“culture of contempt”
That implies that everyone who lives in this country shares the same culture, and that the culture includes contempt.
