Liberals hate Christians. That's why liberals are happy to have muslims do their killing for them.
Agreed. Brooks was a liberal in college, he's a globalist now masquerading as a conservative for government controlled media.

Milton Friedman. As Brooks describes it, "was essentially me making a point, and he making a two-sentence rebuttal which totally devastated my point. That didn’t immediately turn me into a conservative, but ....”
