A disagreement between David Frum, weak center-right has-been, and John Hawkins, young buck who is Conservative first and doesn't tolerate David Frum - Meghan McCain - weak-spined sorts of has-been Republicans who have ruined the Republican brand.
I'm with John Hawkins. A comment I left at both camps...
I left this comment at John Hawkins’. Seems to belong here as well.
All of your enumerated points were good things, mostly, that happened far away in the past. We tip our hats to Mr. Frum’s good deeds, such as they were.
But things have changed remarkably since Reagan’s days, since Buckley lived and died. We’ve been dragged as far left as was at Buckley’s time unimaginable, and going forward we will find it very difficult to stay intact as a Republic. Some think it’s only a matter of time before this Republic ends, in an economic flameout that can be blamed on both Republicans and Democrats alike.
To counter today’s far-left political climate, we don’t need any more center-right folk like Mr. Frum. We need Rush Limbaugh and Tea Partyers. We need OUTLAW!, we need strong-speaking sorts who aren’t afraid to draw a line and say, “This you will not cross”.
Mr. Frum is not that sort of person. He’s a man of the past, who with his excessive give and little take, shares some of the blame for where we find ourselves now: drawn and quartered farther Left than ever before.
Let Frum go. For the sake of the Republic.
