    I used to enjoy listening to the opinions of David Brooks but now it’s just a couple of talking heads that make no difference to anything anywhere at anytime.

  • Moral Superiority

    I look forward to listening every Friday evening to this segment. But, the host’s comments on Friday, May 9 about Republicans not living the message of The Gospels was quite disturbing.

The host’s opening comment is an unfortunate source of division in our country along with the same type of inflammatory rhetoric that we hear from some conser... more
