Brooks takes whatever opinions he happens to hold on a topic, and then -- without citing a single piece of evidence -- repeatedly asserts that "most Americans" hold this view, and then bases his entire "argument" on this premise.
I found Brooks especially obnoxious and foolish for this warning to the Democrats:
...so long as they don't blow it by drifting into cuckoo land.
As if meddling in Schiavo and vetoing the expanded stem-cell research bill weren't off in "cuckoo land." And what about conservative experts like Wolfowitz and Kristol assuring us that there wouldn't be any sectarian strife between Sunni and Shia? Ok, how about putting a horse show judge (Michael Brown) in charge of FEMA? And what about the endless warnings from Cheney that Western Civilzation is at stake?
The point for Brooks is that he's more or less OK with GOP extremism but when it comes to Democrats, he starts pushing the "they need to be centrists" line and he isn't the only one in the MSM who come out with this drivel.
