What Frum neglects to add is that none of these changes would be “painful” for him, a pro-abortion, non-religious denizen of a tony Washington neighborhood, who has long been uncomfortable with social issues and tolerated religious voters so long as they were willing to vote Republican without expecting much in return and serve as cannon fodder in the wars Frum wants America to fight, but now thinks he has found something better.

This sounds like a Liberal Democrat to me. Ju$t $end tax dollar$...

Dear David Frum:

ESFOAD.

Sincerely, A. Bustard, BS, MS

PS. Yes, that's right. I'm college educated, and I think the 'rats are a bunch of communist wreckers; I trust them only to destroy America. Go back to Canuckistan (if they want you), you pusillanimous puke.

I think we need a ratings system like on ebay, where we can rate the conservatism prophesied by our our faux conservative journalists.

Message: This guy is a false prophet.

Hmmmm...

I have no use for Frum and the neocons. Never have. I find them generally wrongheaded and traitorious.

However, I have no use for the religous right and find some of their issues and spokespeople (Creationism, Pat Robertson just for starters) to be a complete embarassment. I know that I am far from the only Freeper who goes to parties or social gatherings, finds the conversation turning to politics, declares my own conservatism and immediately has to spend the next however long (sometimes two minutes, sometimes two hours) defending conservatism against those kinds of people.

I know this is a hard pill for some people to swallow, but we will NEVER be able to win a national election again so long as we’re associated with what I call Gantryism. If things keep up as they are, Republicans will be consigned to be the party of the south and some pockets in the midwest.

It’s just the way it is. You can flame me if you’d like, but please understand that I do a reasonable amount of traveling around the country and talk to a lot of people and the fundamentalist aspect of the GOP is turning a lot of people off.

We will be hearing more and more of this.

Already, the GOP is attacking Palin and the conservatives. How long till the remnants of the pro life plank are pulled?

David from is an elitist. How dare he look down his nose at decent God fearing hard working law abiding Americans?

If it werent for the very wonderful Sarah Pailing, McCain would have been dead in the water three months ago.

Why do so many Jews on both sides of spectrum hate America and loathe Christianity?

I can say that I have nothing at all against the religion Judaism.

Obama is surrounded by socialist Jews which is contradictory in plain sight. Bih Jewish players in Hollywood got Obama’s campaign going to start with.

Many Jews in the media hated Palin because she is unabashed Christian right.

and now we have seen Jews like Frum on the lite right work overtime to discredit Palin for the same reason.

I’m getting tired of this.

Is it far fetched to think that many Jews are my cultural opponents?

I try to get along and be polite and reasonable but they are hiding in plain sight and openly antagonstic to my beliefs yet if I criticize them then I’m a nazi.

I’m very weary of this double standard. They disrespect me and I’m supposed to just suck it up.

I could make exactly the same argument about almost any minority.

-—“College-educated Americans have come to believe that their money is safe with Democrats—but their values are under threat from Republicans.”-—

I’m college educated, and don’t believe either statement.

I would say that religion and morality are vital to the continued existance of our nation, for religious and moral people are what maintain and grow the country.

But... morality cannot and should not be legislated. Is that not one of our prime grievances against Islam? Sharia law is not something I wish to live under.

Yet, some would have us go down that road.

David Frum is a clown.

His “brand” of conservatism is what has devastated the GOP in the short term. Frum wants a GOP that advocates for adventurous foreign wars, abandons traditional values, and embraces global warming in their platform. It’s clear that David has spent WAAAAAAAAY too much time in the DC/NY scene because a Republican Party with that platform would never be a viable national party.

Thank GOD David Frum and his ilk have dwindling influence in the party. One good thing about Bush leaving office is that he will take a lot of these big-government “compassionate conservative” neo-conservatives with him. GOOD RIDDENCE!!
