David Frum Is Wrong
The Republican Party needs to return to its constitutional principles. It should espouse views and fight for policies that are consistent with a limited federal government, personal responsibility, and free market economics. David Frum begs to differ. Frum, the squishy "conservative" commentator (note the mock air quotes), formerly of National Review and the George W. Bush White House, casts aside these principles in favor of their "modulation" in his recent cover piece in Newsweek entitled "Why Rush is Wrong." In the article, he also takes it upon himself to portray Rush Limbaugh as a crazy extremist that doesn't represent the values of conservatism. In the world of David Frum, conservatism has little to do with particular ideas, and more to do with kowtowing to the latest favored group.
