 David Brooks swings so wildly back-and-forth in some of his opinion pieces, I’m surprised his glasses haven’t flown off. One moment, the liberal commenters on his NYT posts call him a crazed right-winger, and the next moment republican commenters are saying he’s a radical leftist media-type. I guess to be a moderate, which Brooks is [...] 
You’ve gotta’ hand it to the libs… they play hardball. When they step out on to the field, it’s no-nonsense, winner-take-all. They don’t sweat things like your freedom, or the democratic process that’s served us well for the past, oh, two hundred or so years. At least not if any of these things are between [...]  Is it just me, or is there a very disturbing trend that is beginning to appear with this administration… For me, it kind of began with the little girl in the audience of the town hall meeting Obama was at. You know, the one who asked President Obama a question at Tuesday’s town hall meeting in [...] 
I honestly didn’t think it was possible to dismantle a presidency so quickly. Especially one that was so popular, so charismatic, so full of undiluted awesome sauce. I understand he hasn’t had any real experience running anything. Not a business, not a state, not a lemonade stand. But for gosh sakes… he’s got advisers, doesn’t he??? [...]  Obama’s weekly radio address was used in large part to try to deflect some of the mounting concerns over why, exactly, all this money was spent and we’re seeing exactly zero results. Looking over his radio speech, he seems to want us to think things are cruising along exactly as planned. “As a result of the [...] 
The Dems are mulling over different ways to pay for the enormous Orwellian health care reform we are all supposedly so anxious for. There were also some proposals to add fees onto employers, taxes onto soda, and other equally foolish plans. None of these ideas will be able to generate nearly enough money, of course, [...] 
It’s old news, but it’s good to get these bad ideas circulating as much as possible, so everyone can see them. I was having a discussion with someone I consider to be fairly well-informed, and she was surprised there was even any talk of a soda tax, so while it’s in the news we might as well [...]  Usually the way these things go is that a general idea gets support, but when the actual specifics come out, popularity begins to sink. Not so, apparently, with the idea of health care reform, where 54% of Americans are opposed to having their taxes raised for it right out of the gate. I would have assumed [...] |
