" That may be so, but keep in mind that conservatives have also been very critical of Frum's piece and, IMHO, rightly so."

It is true that Frum's column contained generalizations, but the rebuttal against Frum's column, called "Frum's Flimflam" (above, by Mercer?) was openly anti-American and anti-defense in general. There was nothing conservative about it. As for Novak's piece, any location of a copy of it has not been presented here that I can see. As for Pat Buchanan, he's blamed the Jews for too many things (like the war against the Iraqi regime) and has stated in slippery language that our government is controlled by the Jews. That's not American conservative. Compared to Frum, Buchanan is far more detrimental to conservative efforts.

The "lesser of two evils" is always better than allowing Hitlery in any form to be re-elected by the insidious shunting of otherwise Republican votes to teeny weeny, powerless third parties that devise anarchistic policies in order to defeat conservatives by associating their stated insane policies with the policies of conservatives.

I generalize, too, in that oddball third parties and "independents" are not good for conservatism in politics. And any who work against our defense with propaganda while we are at war, hurt the war effort and are probably not conservatives. Regarding being against attacking Iraq, I was only against it before the war started, as I am more inclined toward allowing Old Europe to invite it's own defeat while we build an umbrella defense and huge military unprecedented anywhere (contrary to third parties's efforts to shut down the military in favor of having citizens armed with WMD/large bore machine guns). But now that the war is started, I'm in lock-step with the rest of my conservative kind and want Sodom's regime defeated. I believe all who speak against the effort now to be anti-American whether they realize it or not.

I gave a link to Novak's column at RE:#17.
