David Brooks Gets It Right!

Wow! What a blockbuster! In an article entitled The Republicans' Incompetence Caucus, The New York Times columnist David Brooks, who runs closely behind Bloody Bill Kristol (of The Weekly Standard) as being dependably wrong about everything, got one right for a change! Click here!

Over the past 30 years, or at least since Rush Limbaugh came on the scene, the Republican rhetorical tone has grown ever more bombastic, hyperbolic and imbalanced. Public figures are prisoners of their own prose styles, and Republicans from Newt Gingrich through Ben Carson have become addicted to a crisis mentality. Civilization was always on the brink of collapse. Every setback, like the passage of Obamacare, became the ruination of the republic. Comparisons to Nazi Germany became a staple.

And again:

Republicans developed a contempt for Washington and government, but they elected leaders who made the most lavish promises imaginable. Government would be reduced by a quarter! Shutdowns would happen! The nation would be saved by transformational change!

Says Brooks, "This anti-political political ethos produced elected leaders of jaw-dropping incompetence."

Welcome to Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and the Freedom Caucus.

Pigs fly! Hell freezes over! David Brooks acknowledges that over the last 30 years, the Republican party has become steadily more insane!
