[Vision2020] NYTimes: In Search of Dignity

[Joe Campbell]

Brooks thinks that Obama is a model of dignity. He's not in awe of  
Obama he just thinks he has dignity. So that makes him NOT a  
conservative!?!? It seems to follow that you have to hate Obama to be  
a true conservative. That is extreme, too extreme to appeal to the  
majority of voters.

I might have stated the obvious but somehow you still don't get it!
