<p>And please, what is so wrong with what Mansfield said in that article you just linked.</p>
<p>golani, if you can read that Brooks piece and not understand that he is a right-winger, you are completely obtuse politically. As for having been a Democrat once upon a time, that is true of 90% of neocons over the age of 50. In essence, that’s what “neoconservative” used to mean: a conservative who was a Democrat in the 1960s.</p>
<p>Hold on for a second. DO not mistake Mansfield for Brooks. Mansfield is the one that talks about maniliness, and that has nothing to do with what Brooks believes. I cannot see from thoseWSJ articles that brooks is not liberal. I would love for you to show me where in those articles you see that he is not liberal. I am giving you the opportunity to prove me wrong.</p>
