David Frum was once a bright light in the world of conservative punditry/thinking. Really. He wrote a fabulous history of the 1970s called “How We Got Here”.
Then, something happened. He got full of himself, perhaps, or he became ashamed of conservatism. Maybe someone spoke to him harshly or insulted him. I don’t know.
He has turned into a conservative who yearns, it seems, for liberal approval. He apparently wants to be the “conservative” the liberals ask to parties.
A conservative? Perhaps but he always a very statist one, perhaps along the lines Teddy Roosevelt.
