Really! WHO made the confederate flag an issue?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The left WANTS a race war.

Every time I see a picture of David Brooks I can’t help but think his mom still takes care of his post-bowel movement, paper duty.

Lilly-livered RINO! The leftists started these wars, we need to end it!

[Michael.SF.]

Only at the NYSlimes would this ass clown be considered conservative.

I got a letter today advertising a subscription to The Weekly Standard. They had a quote from this clown, Brooks, suggesting I need to buy it. I thought I didn't want to read the same things as this nit wit.

Now I'm more convinced that was a good decision.

Ping to Sarah's Awesome List.

Because if you want people to pay attention to you. Just Mention Sarah!

The Sarah Palin wing of the GOP is the Best One :)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He thinks that the Left can do anything they want and we aren’t supposed to respond.

Brooks: "The Sarah Palin Wing" Wants To Use Confederate Flag "In Order To Pick A Culture War Fight"

I think the left had beaten her to the punch in using the flag to pick a culture war fight.

[freebilly]

Brooks is a p****y....

[TangibleDisgust]

civic politeness???

when have the libtards ever taken something down so as not to offend people who disagree with them? just as a refresher david, the libtards actually go out of their way to antagonize those who they disagree with. case in point... this stupid little symbol exists solely to mock the faith of Christians.

david brooks is a pointy-headed dumbarse.

[Paladin2]

Brooks mind is too sharply creased.

[Pollster1]

the reason the flag should come down is just a matter of civic politeness . . . If a large percentage of your fellow citizens disapprove of something, fine, just be civically polite and accept their offense and say, no, I’m going to respect you

No. They use our virtues to promote their vices. We should always think through the far left's agenda and do the right thing, which is not always the polite thing and almost never what progressives want. If they keep faking offense and grievance over issue after issue, and we keep backing down, the low information voters will conclude that we are in the wrong. We need to stand up to fake offense and say, "no, you're being too delicate. If you're really that sensitive, you should be institutionalized and taken care of, not allowed to wander around in the scary world".

I have never in my life flown the Confederate Battle Flag, and I haven't started flying it now, but a whole lot of people have started flying it. I find myself approving of its display with its new symbolism. It no longer consistently means either Klan-racism or pride in Southern heritage. Now it also means resistance against an intrusive, out of control government, which is not too far from the meaning many saw in that flag 150 years ago.

accept their offense......

WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER and Donkeys Fly

[MUDDOG]

just be civically polite and accept their offense and say, no, I’m going to respect you

The people he needs to tell this to are the liberals.

They never extend civil politeness to conservatives.

[SaveFerris]

Over the recent years, I have come to learn how stupid of a man David Brooks really is.

I don’t care about the confederate flag! Never have.
