“Bewildered Herd”
This might also resonate with parents of teenage children!
The old Marxist dialectic: keep moving the goal halfway to your position until you are standing over the pit or in a gulag.
Poofters like Davie have a different way of looking at things. They live for the moment.

I predict he’ll grow up to be an aronist who dies in his own fire.
An article you will NEVER see a Leftist like Brooks write when a Republican is in office.
Brooks is a fascist hypocrite of the highest order. What Brooks really wants, and what everybody who reads this column intuitively understands, is that Brooks really wants a fascist government run by central planners made up of Democrats. He is arguing for a benevolent dictatorship because he believes it’s good for us.
Speak for yourself, you fool!
Brooks wrote an article that voters should stop caring about political issues now Obama has failed him.
If he wants to ditch the constitution, he's not any variety of conservative - "neo" or otherwise.
Ah yes, the cry for a strong man to silence the babble and inconvenience that arises from self rule, and lead through strength of will.
It has been heard before. 
Every area of our lives is political these days precisely because government permeates every aspect of our lives.
Government has become far too huge and unmanageable. Brook’s answer is to make it even larger and more dictatorial.
It IS time to torch the Constitution, but not in the way that Brooks wants. It is time to redefine and repair the federal government. It is time for Fed 2.0 and there are many things that need fixing.
The first thing is to understand that what Jefferson and Reagan said are true, that as government expands personal liberty must retreat. The reason to have a federal government, indeed to have any government at all, is to maximize liberty, not to have the biggest government we can afford. The two are the inverse of each other, and INFINITE MONEY enables INFINITE GOVERNMENT, which is what Cambodia had under Pol Pot and what Russia had under Lenin and Stalin.
So, when we redefine Fed 2.0, it will be a government that can only spend what it takes in, and that must be limited lest government get too big and consume too much of our wealth.
We must also have a government that cannot exempt itself from its own laws. The first change must be to repeal 18 USC 1001 which makes it a felony to lie to a government employee but does not make it a felony for a government employee to lie to any citizen.
And certainly no Constitutional right should require application for a permit to exercise.
I am sure that FReepers can suggest other repairs. Meanwhile some other people far smarter than I have done so:
Randy Barnett’s Proposed “Federalism Amendment”

Just get rid of obama.
Confused and Dazed is the only thing I can think of when this freaks face comes up.
Our Founding Fathers feared that a tyrannical federal government might occur despite the careful checks and balances of the Constitution. Their last ditch defense of liberty is embodied in the Second Amendment.
It pisses me off that so many CONSERVATIVES even gripe about the house and senate “not getting anything done”.
The IDEAL situation in government is them not getting ANYTHING done. If they aren’t doing s***, they can’t screw anything up...
Heil obama, dictator for life!
Brooks, he’s going to draw and quarter you first.
If George Bush were still president, would Brooks be advocating this?
We'll start with stripping his rights and torching him in the middle of Central Park for the amusement of the Yutes -- a RW "bonfire of the vanities".
Then we can nuke Manhattan. Ooops, sorry, we really don't like you, but we actually intended to let you run for it first. Sorry 'bout that. Muh finger slipped.
Brooksie is such a boron.
