[Vision2020] NYTimes: In Search of Dignity

[Sunil Ramalingam]

I don't know how anyone who has heard Brooks on NPR over the last eight years can call him a liberal.  Gary, have you heard any of his discussions there in that period?

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!

Oh yes, I read the article. I would have thought 
that almost anyone who has followed Mr. Brooks' career would be well aware of 
why I might have used the descriptives that I did. Sorry if you're new to the 
subject.
 
Regarding the most recent elective 
outcomes, thank you so very much for your emphatic statement of the all too 
obvious. You have finally found an area at which you might truly excel! 
Since Brooks seems to stand in awe of your deity of the moment, 
it really seems inappropriate to refer to him as conservative, moderate or 
otherwise and it wouldn't seem to matter much to me whether he's offended or 
not. As a BHO supplicant, he's part of the problem and none of the 
solution.

  Did you read the Huffington Post article, Crabtree? It was pretty funny 
  but I don't see any mention of Brooks being a "liberal lapdog" or having 
  "quasi-conservative credentials." Where did you get that from? Maybe he's not 
  offensive or narrow-minded enough to fit your definition! 
  

  But guess what? Repubican's LOST the last election for the White House 
  and Democrats now have a super-majority in congress. So you might consider not 
  offending the few moderate conservatives who haven't jumped the sinking ship. 
  Or perhaps not! Palin in 2012!

      From The New York Times:

OP-ED COLUMNIST: In Search of 
      Dignity

      By DAVID 
      BROOKS

The old dignity code that George Washington once 
      followed has not survived modern life. Every week there are new scandals 
      featuring people who simply do not know how to act....
