Though he would be loathe to admit it, David Brooks agrees with Glenn Beck. Consider the opening of his op-ed today, Brooks writes:

That which can’t continue doesn’t. A nation can spend and spend, pile debt upon debt, but eventually there comes a reality moment when some leader emerges to say enough is enough and when decent people, looking around at themselves and their own best nature, respond by demanding a return to responsibility.

Yes, he is the very same RINO, and he would probably never admit he agreed with Beck either. That is why I found his op-ed making the same point as Beck made yesterday very interesting.

That is truly frightening. I’ve read that in Argentina, among other terrible things is the kidnapping of children.

Oh how they must suffer so.
