Conservatives Who Matter

I have been a fan of Andrew Sullivan for a while now. Today, he said something on his blog that I have been thinking is true at least throughout the course of the presidential election: "I'm glad we have David Brooks these days."

Me, too. Here is a link to Andrew's blog about why, but you should continue on to David Brooks' column in the New York Times to read about how David spent a recent visit to the White House. The Obama White House, that is.

These are conservatives who don't say stupid things like "I hope Obama fails." These are men who have serious disagreements with the President but so want Obama not to fail. They want this country better; they want to heal what has put us in this horrible state. Why anyone would want the President to fail in trying to right this dangerously listing ship is incomprehensible to me. Only an idiot, a fool would say it. Only traitors to their country would believe it.

What a breath of fresh air David Brooks always is. The right wingnuts, e.g. Rush, Coulter, sound like spoiled middle schoolers.
