What? No he isn’t. He’s a hack on the globalist payroll. Some species of pseudo-intellectual at best, low frequency individual. Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them. This is one of them. Perhaps he doesn’t believe it either, but it pays the bills. Stop elevating these clowns with praise, even if only to balance out criticisms.
Without things like extended family ties, the State takes over.
Just look at the title. “A Mistake” is there to get your attention. You gotta say something outrageous to the point of being offensive to get people to ‘take’ notice.
David Brooks was the one time ‘conservative’ on those panel shows I do believe. In our culture the way to make money is to get people to give you their undivided attention. Could be a street musician, a doctor or even a stripper. The trick is to find what sells. If times get dull one can always make things up. 24 hour news is a perfect example. Our friends at Fox do Special Report and the rest is regurgitated commentary hour after hour. At least Bill Mahre confines his schtick to one hour a week. Gutfeld needs to stop with the poop jokes-too much time to fill just like these TWO articles.
Do we owe it to them to read both to give our INFORMED opinions? Ohio State is on the tube now. I’ll pass.
Brooks has always been dumb, but this is pants on head stupid
He’s usually wrong, but on this one he’s right. Families were stronger and more impenetrable by government when 3 generations lived together.
Children seeing their family care for their elderly was the best way.
Hell, now the local school marm thinks she can righteously weigh in on family matters. During covid I personally heard one saying that it was dangerous for the kids to be at home with parents, and to never come to school so the teacher could look them over. She truly believed her job was to monitor the kids to check for signs of abuse...and now the kids were not being watched by government.
The parents were considered dangerous to leave kids alone with.
