Brooks isn't "conservative" like most of us are "conservative." He is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and generally liberal on all the other social issues. I also seem to remember him getting a bit wobbly on Iraq, though not as bad as that girly-man Tucker Carlson.

Naw, I don't think so. Brooks is their token conservative.
He's a moderate to most FReepers, but he's the wild-eyed, right wing fanatic at the NYT.

"David Brooks just wrote himself out of a job, I'm afraid." I think you are confusing David Brooks with Mark Shields. Brooks is a decent conservative, I dont think he was ever quite liberal. He is a well tempered man, a real conservative.

He has a penchant for social analysis, but he doesn't seem to be a statist type. I don't remember him writing about immigration.

I also seem to remember him getting a bit wobbly on Iraq, though not as bad as that girly-man Tucker Carlson. Well, there are some conservatives like me who are not particularly religious, and frankly dont care about any social issues. My clinching issues are foreign and economic policy matters, especially handling the threat of Islamic terrorism. I've been a staunch supporter of Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, since the mid-90s. I dont want to waste my time arguing with liberals about foetus or gay rights, would prefer to spend that time to educate people on the threat of Islamic terror, especially the threat to the west due to emergence of Wahabbi schools in Saudi funded Madarsas in South Asia.
best regards,

I am pro-life, but other than that, you and I are on the same page in our priorities. I also am concerned about Saudi-funded schools in the US.
PS - I think Wolfowitz is the greatest---he's the inspiration, IMO.

David would cut his throat before contradicting Mark Shields on Lehrer.. Brooks is Shields b!itch... and Shields would never contradict DNC talking points.. Brooks is the straight man for Shields comedy.. Course Lehrer would never have a real conservative on his show anyway.

To most objective viewers, Brooks appears very cogent and reasonable while Shields is the mumbling jerk with an infantile logic. I think he can easily win over more moderates and libertarians, than Mark Shields.
