David Brooks is Making Sense
Yes, I said David Brooks.
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but David Brooks is making sense. In his New York Times column this morning, he appears to discover what at least half the country has long known: The Republican Party has been hijacked by unruly nihilists. “The House Republican caucus,” Brooks writes, “is close to ungovernable these days. How did that situation come about?” I’m not sure what prompted his eureka moment, but it’s nice to see Brooks, a card-carrying member of the conservative intelligentsia, finally reckon with the present state of the GOP.
A piece worth reading. Not long, but to the point:

Re: David Brooks is Making Sense
Brooks has always been a pretty reasonable conservative.
And he has long opposed the crazies who have hijacked the party and made the House a dystopian mess.
People owe it to themselves to, once they read illing's essay, to go read some of Brooks' pieces.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
