This is a good effort from the urban Canadian and he even resisted calling Mssr. Fleming and the entire paleo-conservative cabal anti-Semites. He has clearly matured as a critic.
The question is will you read the full lexicon of our movement so you understand where we are coming from or will you just trust an urban elite intellecutal from Canada who was kicked out of the Bush administration for an act of Hubris?
PS: Frum missed the influence of Murray Rothbard, an urban Jew from New York, on just about all the characters he mentioned. I suggest he try to get a grasp on him and why paleo-libertarians made strange bedfellow with the Buchanan brigades before he concludes what I hope is a serious look at the post-Cold War conservative movement.

Actually, Frum does mention two Jews here.
He gives 2 paragraphs to Paul Gottfried. B Frum does mention Rothbard
There was no shortage of disaffected right-wingers; but what did Samuel Francis (who had spent the early 1980s investigating subversives for Senator John East) have in common with the economist Murray Rothbard (who had cheered when the Communists captured Saigon)?
I find the article to be vindictive and contemptuous, but no worse than stuff written regularly by Fleming, Sobran, Buchanan, Gottfried, or Francis.
