So it is heroic to ignore the American people, spend trillions growing government and do absolutely nothing to grow jobs outside of Washington DC. Republicans like David Brooks are the problem. They are idiots and soft and value their standing among liberals than they do the truth.
Guys like David Brooks are tools the media use to create the illusion they want for themselves as well as for the World. To their way of thinking, they have a "good guy Republican" in David Brooks. If they or their consumers think David Brooks represents conservatism in any way, they are only fooling themselves. Reality will catch up sooner or later. I think the forces of conservatism has a pretty big advantage there, if they will get a grip and stand strong instead of rolling over in fear of the media.
Because it's going to happen no matter what the forces of conservatism do.
