In a stunning display of moral arrogance and effete pique, David Brooks recently savaged Ted Cruz as a purveyor of “pagan brutalism†unfit to call himself a Christian, let alone lead a nation.

How anyone could EVER read anything by David Brooks or put such an evil, warped mind like Kennedy’s on the bench, proves how well the schools have managed to hyper-sexualize, abuse, and destroy the minds of our children to make them into immoral, useful idiots.
You can say that again.
That's the perfect one-clause description of David Brooks's writing. (I can think of several others to whom I'd apply it.)
