(Community Matters) David Brooks – The Possum Republicans. I might be abstaining from partisan politics – endorsing, giving and raising – yet I’m damn sure participating in civil discourse about politics.
Not sure what’s the fix to the phenomenon David Brooks references. It was operatives who incubated brown shirt tactics flaming cries for religious and national purity, for rolling back women’s gains, even the availability of contraception. This doesn’t only threaten a party, it threatens the entire country. Encouraging honorable people to stand up against these cries isn’t only one party’s challenge, we’re all threatened. It could take an independent candidate in 2016.
