First of all… isn’t The New York Times and “conservative” columnist an oxymoron? Why do we put up with people who call themselves conservatives? Please… someone educate me on even one thing Brooks has written lately (or at all) that is conservative. PLEASE. Oh and for an intellect he sure doesn’t talk like one, but he sure speaks like a typical liberal would.

[...] So just who, in Brooks’ ”educated” mind, is “educated”? Why his beloved Lord and Savior, B. Hussein Obama: “Obama sees himself as a Burkean,” Brooks says. “He sees his view of the world as a view that understands complexity and the organic nature of change.” Moreover, after the Bush years, Brooks seems relieved to have an intellectual in the White House again. “I divide people into people who talk like us and who don’t talk like us,” he explains. “Of recent presidents, Clinton could sort of talk like us, but Obama is definitely–you could see him as a New Republic writer. He can do the jurisprudence, he can do the political philosophy, and he can do the politics. I think he’s more talented than anyone in my lifetime. I mean, he is pretty dazzling when he walks into a room. So, that’s why it’s important he doesn’t fuck this up.” http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/31/the-obligatory-david-brooks-really-impressed-with-obamas-pants... [...]

Umm… isn’t this the same David Brooks who in July talked about a dinner party where he allowed a politician to grope his inner thigh the whole evening? And now he tells us that his admiration for Obama started when he stared at the One’s pants?

Dude, get out of the closet already; you’re fooling no-one. If I ever meet Brooks, my first words will probably be, “Hey, buddy, stop staring at my crotch!”

Here is some classic mark levin from a politico article on frum which could be said of brroks

“Frum is a crude and troubled exhibitionist unencumbered by integrity or judgment,” says Levin, “a self-destructive intellectual lightweight who craves attention with increasingly shrill attacks on real conservatives, which makes him a favorite with Bill Moyers, MSNBC, Newsweek and their ilk. For the nation generally and the conservative movement specifically, he is irrelevant.”

Blinky Brooks, the makeup-and-lip-gloss-wearing Tool of the NY Times, through whom the NYT espouses lib views under the guise of a “conservantive,” is at it again.

Now Blinky proudly recalls checking out Obozo’s pant leg and calls him “dazzling,” while Chris Matthews got a thrill up his leg. Someone please find a way to get these FREAKS out of my sight.

Stuff like this makes me want to hurl, and I just had lunch.

Please, in the name of humanity, no more Blinky Brooks posts! He is as irrelevant as he is disgusting. No one with half a brain could take this tool seriously on anything. Surely more worthwhile subjects can be found for discussion at this site.

..it’d be hard to find a more loathsome expression of intellectual elitism than “I divide people into people who talk like us and who don’t talk like us,”

I thought the same thing. Arrogant elitist.

This one too.

..while they may know a policy area better than me, they generally don’t know political philosophy better than me.

Philosophers often are kings-of-the-hill of arrogance while being complete fools without even knowing it.

Why do people who have liberal ideas/views, who vote for libs, defend libs, say that conservatism is dead, etc. try to say they are conservatives???

jeffn21 on September 1, 2009 at 9:16 AM

I’ve wondered the same thing myself. If voting liberal doesn’t make you one, and neither does any of the other things you’ve mentioned, then what does?

Still, my guess is that it’s done on purpose. It’s the wolf in sheep’s clothing. The best way to get the country to move left is to convince the Right to go there, leaving the debates between Left and Lefter.

I think krauthammer said it best about another Rino.
He is what liberals wish conservatives were

That about explains Brooks, his whole world in which he lives is surronded and influenced by liberals.
