not a bad article from Brooks, who usually turns my stomach...that said you have to love his hypocrisy in using the line; “This is the source of Republican extremism: the conviction that the governing model is obsolete. It needs replacing. “ then basically going and saying this “extremism” is needed...
too bad he didn’t counter by saying “change you could believe in” equaled the same failed incompetence that’s put Europe on the brink....
The amazing thing is to read the comments from the Lib readers of the Times!!
But considering that Brooks is the token conservative to the Liberal establishment, many liberals will read this thinking that Brooks will, as usual, offer luke warm support for conservative positions only to find out that by innuendo and intimation, he has soundly trashed Obama, the welfare state, and the Liberal ideology.
