David Brooks, reviewing Andrew Sullivan's The Conversative Soul:The Conservative Soul is imbued with Sullivan’s characteristic passion and clarity. And yet I must confess, if I hadn’t been reviewing this book, I wouldn’t have finished it. I have a rule, which has never failed me, that when a writer uses quotations from Jerry Falwell, James Dobson and the Left Behind series to capture the religious and political currents in modern America, then I know I can put that piece of writing down because the author either doesn’t know what he is talking about or is arguing in bad faith.
Touche.

Ariel,
I thought you might like to have a look at this, in which Sullivan responds directly to the passage from Brooks' review that you quote.
