David Brooks says America needs a National Greatness Agenda that transcends current Left and Right ideologies.

A search of this blog will reveal that I love to criticize David Brooks, but I want to praise his column this morning. I find it hard to be as optimistic as he is that something will happen, but he is surely right about what needs to happen:

The coming movement may be a third party or it may support serious people in the existing two. Its goal will be unapologetic: preserving American pre-eminence. It will preserve America’s standing in the world on the grounds that this supremacy is a gift to our children and a blessing for the earth.
