Frum hates being called a neocon. Watch this 1 minute video of Frum and Heather Hurlburt, both former presidential speechwriters. NB: Heather’s reaction to Frum’s allegory about being called a neocon. If anyone can figure out what Frum is trying to say, please tell me.

Heather says she enjoys debating Frum because he does not engage in ad hominem and out-shouting his counterpart.

lack of loyalty equals incompetence

what else do you need to know

beside the fact that Cartesian Science has these guys in the cross hairs as we speak

Frum’s on-the-one-hand is “the values and the principles of the voters,” which he implies (overgeneralizing vastly) are “populist,” whatever he means by that. His on-the-other is the direct address of current “problems,” which needs to be left to experts.

There’s something missing from that geography of politics, and it would be commitment to democratic principle and structure — y’know, the Constitution? Neither voters nor experts ever care about that?

Frum is a glib superficiality, and I would apologize as a Canadian for sending him to you, except we’d just as soon you not send him back.

“Common cause: The websites of the antiwar conservatives approvingly cite and link to the writings of John Pilger, Robert Fisk, Noam Chomsky, Ted Rall, Gore Vidal, Alexander Cockburn, and other anti-Americans of the far Left.”

“As political scientist Michael Wolf puts it, ‘Conservatives cannot govern well for the same reason that vegetarians cannot prepare a world-class boeuf bourguingnon: If you believe that what you are called upon to do is wrong, you are unlikely to do it very well.’” P 354

John Dean made essentially the same point in Broken Government.

It seems pretty clear to me that the torture tapes were ordered to be destroyed by either Cheney or ‘Waterboarding George’ as a matter of self protection. I’ve really got to believe that those copies were digital and copies still exist.

I also read that Bush SIGNED documents ordering specific instances of waterboarding. Those two items: the video and the document in combination are so vivid and so criminal that they would almost certainly send Cheney and ‘Waterbarding George’ to prison.

Don’t you think behind the scenes there are some noble CIA folks, one with the document and one with the video, frantically trying to find each other?

politicians who want to deliver effective government and positive results

After 30 years of Conservatives pretending there’s no such thing as effective government, who the hell does Frum think he’s writing about?

Is just too much to take.

I was able to get through a question to David Frum when he was on Washington Journal as a guest several years ago. I asked him “since you were so supportive of the pre-emptive invasion of Iraq and sending young American soldiers to this unnecessary war will you be encouraging your own children( I believe he has two teenagers) to join the military so that they can serve in the war that you helped start”. David Frum’s answer was a fumble filled with hypocrisy which runs in Frums veins.

When you google David Frum on you tube here is what came up.
