Find out which papers print his weekly column and boycott them until they drop Frum. So that enough times and the rest of the idiots get the message.

I want to type out the text to your wonderful image:

The last time this many Democrats boycotted a Republican inauguration, was March 1861, a month before the Democrats launched Civil War I.

If he is this wrong on this topic, imagine how wrong he’s been on everything else he’s said in his life.

How is Trump worse than the cynical crooks Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, especially the uber-corrupt Clintons?

A bit O/T, but we had 15 minutes left over in my 6th grade Old Testament class. Topic was David, and the kids had questions when I discussed Uriah and Bathsheba (without going into great detail, of course).

The kids had some really great questions, but I found it necessary to be careful about viewing historical events from the prism of 2017 morality.

Unfortunately, Frum fell into that trap, and cast himself the oracle of wisdom on who's "worst".

I doubt my students remembered anything I said beyond five minutes after class, but you never know. I can say with conviction they're a heck of a lot smarter and grounded than Mr. Frum.

He’s just ignorant. How does he make a living writing stuff when he is so ignorant? (I know he isn’t alone, and his profession can be very lucrative for the ignorant.) There have been worse people to become president,and some weren’t even slaveholders. I can think of a couple in my lifetime that fit the bill. His buddy George Will wrote that Bill Clinton was the worst person to become president. If Bill Clinton’s wife had been elected, what would he say about her, knowing what a stellar specimen of humanity she is?

Now, now. To be fair you should be giving Trump a Nobel Peace Prize right about now.

The cultural marxists are doing a great job of cementing the President’s re-election in 2020. With all the hate speech, violence, property damage, hypocrisy, verbal attacks on young Barron, outright lies being reported in the media...and not anywhere do you hear the Democrats renouncing any of it.

Communist thugs cheats and liars.

Saying “all the slaveowners” shows what an unserious comment this is. Do not “the slaveowners” include many of the men considered to be truly great Americans, even if maybe not all were great as Presidents. Washington, Jefferson, Jackson (others? I’m not a scholar of the presidency). To reduce these men to “slaveowners” is just intellectually embarrassing. It’s a remark worthy of a mediocre middle schooler.

It ignores the fact that many of the “slaveowners” wrestled with the morality of the “peculiar institution.” Slavery had been an integral part of human history that predates to dawn of civilization.

Once our founding fathers began to wrestle with the concepts of liberty, they had to confront the contradictions between those ideals and slavery In the real world. Washington was able to free his slaves, Jefferson could not, he was too deep in debt. It took decades and a bloody war to resolve the contradiction.

Frum also ignores the naked bigotry of “progressive” Woodrow Wilson.

Frum’s point about Donald Trump having unfettered access to power is one I’ve been making since he won. Republicans have already proven that they are fine with weaponizing the FBI against Democrats in order to win an election

Last time I checked, FBI Director James Comey was an Obama appointee. Last time I checked, Obama was a 'Rat!

If the FBI was weaponized, it was the 'Rats who did it!

Do you have the faintest clue?

One of Woodrow Wilson’s first acts as president was to dismiss all senior black officials in the civil service.

That was right in line with the sentiments of Woodrow Wilson's party, which was the party of the Ku Klux Klan.

Of course, Wilson was no sheet-wearing Klansman. No, he was a former president of Princeton. He was a Progressive. Meaning he knew better than you how you should live your miserable life. And, at the time, who was fit to serve in the federal government.
