(New York Times) Brooks: The GOP ‘Has Become an Ethnic Nationalist Party’
Breitbart ^ | 2-25-2017 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 02/26/2017 5:24:25 AM PST by brucedickinson

Brooks said, “Trump today, he — you know, buy American, buy American, anti-free trade, and got big cheers. They’re waving Russian flags, probably partly as a joke. But, still, the party has become an ethnic nationalist party. And I don’t think it’s just because they, oh, that we agree with Trump on some things and not on others. I do think, over the last 10 years, a lot of Republicans have decided it’s not working, what the party believed in, free trade, global capitalism, open borders. They looked at basically the failed wars and they said, oh, this, us being the policeman of the world, that’s not working. And so, something really serious has shifted in the minds of Republicans, and certainly others.”

He added, “[W]e had the clip earlier in the program of Trump saying: I’m not president of the globe. I’m president of the United States. Reagan would have never said that. Eisenhower would have never said that, because he would have said, yes, I’m president of the United States, but it’s in our interests to be securing a world order.”

Brooks needs to get the crease in his head sharpened in the press.

Well, isn’t that just ducky. Mr. Hatchett apparently has been authorized to communicate with the dead and speak for them. Absurd.

My bad. That should be Mr. Brooks, I guess. Mr. Hatchett was speaking about Mr. Brooks’ comments. Mea Culpa.

And the Democrats are the isolated outpost party of a few coastal port cities.

I’m pretty sure the two guys pictured above have absolutely no white guilt whatsoever.

This discourse---global vs America----reminds me of the nauseating Clintons and their crooked Foundation.

So let's think back..... Billy was president 8 years, Hillary First Lady eight years then a US Senator for eight years....and Secy of State for four years.

But even "Tee-me Obama" noticed that all of the Clintons' really great accomplishments....saving people's lives, fighting disease.... happened only when they had a foundation.

Even more significantly, all of the Clintons' global goodness happened at the same time the Clintons got filthy rich accepting donations from foreigners, countries, and various favor-seeking entities.

Just a coincidence, I'm sure that companies doing business before the State Department, got lucrative favors from Hillary AND AT THE SAME TIME donated to the foundation.

DO NOT EVER FORGET.....thanks to the altruistic Clintons, we are alive to witness the eradications of (Sniffle) poverty, chronic illness, homelessness, children at risk, dying elephants (Chelsea's fave), environmental dangers. All solved....all a thing of the past b/c of the Clintons (sob).

Somebody please get me a Kleenex.

I gather that Brooks knows who pays his 20 pieces of silver...

Brooks has a well deserved reputation for being wrong on essentially every issue. That makes him an excellent weather-vane. Read his stuff, assume the opposite of his views are very likely correct and you will become famous for your insight into politics and world events.

You will, as a result, rise in the ranks of Freepers and perhaps even become a future President of the United States. On the “downside” you will rapidly be ruled out as a possible Secretary General of the United Nations.

All of this makes Brooks a “Must-Read”.

The Media and its drones are literally bought, owned and paid for by multi-national globalist corporations.

How can you expect their paid bitches to sing the song of nationalist freedom?

When you create a system better than federalism writ large, show me.

One World = One Prison.

Fake news. In the meantime, the democrat party has truly become a regional party and the MSM continues to whistle past the graveyard

Well, yeah — which makes them the Racist Globalist Party.

Those large city enclaves feel more kinship to “their kind of people” in London, Tokyo, Paris, and Berlin than they do for the “regular folks” living in Springfield MO or Jackson MS.

The democrat party is the party of hating America and loving bearded savages who hate America.

but it’s in our interests to be securing a world order

And he thinks that the best way to accomplish that is to be engaged in everything that goes on in foreign countries? He's wrong, the best way to do that is be the strongest and most powerful nation on earth, both economically & militarily. We are rapidly losing in both arenas. So how is making America great again by improving our economy, by being a smarter broker on the world stage, and strengthening our military antithesis to securing world order? It is impossible to lead others when you cannot lead yourselves.

Brooks is just another lying leftist.
