Ramesh — I think that’s all fine. I don’t think I said that the GOP shouldn’t be interested in, or appeal to the concern about, civic order. But I think you’d agree that was part of the thinking behind compassionate conservatism in the first place. Moreover, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pointing out that Brooks’s Western community set-up has some deep flaws in it, even if one is willing to concede that the GOP needs to work on its message.
