Frum is now and has been a poor intellectual joke. He is a Canadian who went to Yale, and staid around to lecture American Conservatives on what they should or should not be doing. He wrote a book trying to justify the absurd idea that it was in our interests to try to change other people's cultures, in order to promote "Democracy," and he has frequently expressed disdain for the values of rooted American Conservatives.

Does anyone believe that a true Conservative, settling here from another country, would feel it proper to lecture those with multi-generational roots as to their core beliefs in seeking to preserve their culture? That is not the sort of attitude that goes with a Conservative personality. It is the attitude of a self-promoting poseur, to be sure, but not that of a Conservative.

For a touch of humor on the Frum case: David Frum To Haiti Project.
