No True Scotsman - Conservative edition

Tea Partiers: We're Not Anti-Intellectual, David Brooks Is Just Dumb - Politics - The Atlantic Wire: "The real story is that the Left regularly employs many 'pseudo-conservatives', fakes such as David Brooks, to attack the right and pretend it's not an attack coming from the left. David Brooks is only one of many. Another good example of a pseudo-conservative hired by a leftist organization to attack the right is MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. Stop buying into the idea he's a conservative. Conservative means being against spending beyond your means, against interventionist wars spending trillions on no-win wars rebuilding other countries, etc."
