Another Good David Brooks Column

I think he's right in the sense that this is probably the latest in a series of populist uprisings. However, I get the sense that he feels the outrage over Obama's actions are unjustified - that's it's somehow just the bitch -du jour.

I took readers advice and looked up info on David Brooks.

I was wondering why we take these guys opinion seriously ? Most of these people have never produced anything tangible in their lives. they live off other people working to buy the papers they write for so they say what people will pay to read whether that is what they agree with or disagree with. Controversy sells papers.

I guess that means that Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are in the same category as David Brooks?

You said it. :cowboy:

Some report the news and some put forth their own opinions. Did someone say you can have your own opinions but you can't have your own facts?

Sandhusker, you might look deeper into David Brooks' credentials as a Republican commentator who is very well respected. And fair.

Whatever he has done doesn't change my take on the article. I think he's trying to pass this off as just another in a long line of instances of civic unrest. I don't think he realizes that it's much more than that. This isn't the same crowd as in the past.
