David Brooks -- Liberals get it wrong (again)

In this piece, David Brooks (who is considered a conservative by the NY Times opinion page) explains to liberals that they completely misunderstand the reason for conservatives' electoral success. They have it backwards.

Brooks makes a good argument for the claim that the key to conservative success is not a unified message, but rather disunity -- which has caused the various camps in the conservative side to think hard about the nature and purpose of life and the appropriate role for government in society.
