David Brooks: Conservative?

First there was his article essentially agreeing with Karl Marx. Now this editorial. How many conservatives do you know who DO NOT blame the poor for their own lives? Meet David Brooks and your head count goes up to at least one.

Arguing for Integration:

"Culturally Integrate. Culturally Integrate. Culturally Integrate. The only chance we have to break the cycle of poverty is to integrate people who lack middle-class skills into neighborhoods with people who possess these skills and who insist on certain standards of behavior."

Crediting Clinton:

"The Clinton administration built on Gautreaux by creating the Moving to Opportunity program, dispersing poor families to middle-class neighborhoods in five other metropolitan areas."
