If David Brooks fails to see the ruination of civilization in our present circumstances, probably 90% of the rest of the population fails to see it too. Is it likely that only a group as perceptive as the Tea Party has it right? These are folks that don't read. They don't value learning. They deny science.They alone could be convinced by a cynical oligarchy to believe nonsense and vote consistently against their own and the country's best interests. Keith, no one responds to your absurd accusations. You wouldn't recognize a fact if it kicked you in the nuts. You're a brainwashed cultist.
