I agree with David Post at Volokh Conspiracy that David Brooks wrote an
excellent op-ed piece on Tuesday reminding liberals that they are weaker for
not having intense argument over “first principles” (NYT, “A House Divided,
and Strong,” April 5, 2005). I believe liberals are too quick to ostracize
those who do not conform to every part of their political platform, and too
slow to think about questions of political philosophy. They/we should indeed
listen to Brooks:
“If I were a liberal, which I used to be, I wouldn’t want message
discipline. I’d take this opportunity to have a big debate about the
things Thomas Paine, Herbert Croly, Isaiah Berlin, R. H. Tawney
and John Dewey were writing about. I’d argue about human nature
and the American character.In disunity there is strength.”
