David Frum: Why Rush Is Wrong

We are no fans of David Frum nor, we gather, are most conservatives. Even though Frum's article is sub-titled "A Conservative's Lament," we're not quite sure he means the same thing we do when he uses the word. At any rate, we post this because, as conservatives, we believe people should make up their own minds. As for us, well, let's just say we think David couldn't be more wrong when he claims that Rush Limbaugh is to Republicanism now what Jesse Jackson was to the Democrats in the 1980's.

Peggy Noonan Can Barely Critique The One

We wondered what Miss Peggy would do now that so many of her cocktail party cohorts have expressed disappointment and more at President Obama's dreadful first six weeks in office. Taking a maudlin detour through a tragedy that bears not at all upon her unvarnished, at times cringe-inducing, prose about Obama, Ms. Noonan can only spare the last fifth of her column today in which to address directly the state of The One. This is as tough as she gets: "President Obama himself contributes to an atmosphere of fear grown to panic as he takes a historic crisis and turns it into what he imagines is a grand opportunity for sweeping change."

MoDo was much tougher and she doesn't claim to be either a conservative or a Republican. Peggy's schtick is tired and stale and to at least one of us here at MC she remains dead. Wake us if she rediscovers her political principles.

Mark Levin & David Frum: On-Air Hissy Fits

Well this is unhelpful. Mark Levin brought David Frum onto his radio show wherein neither gentleman acquitted himself well. Get us re-write. Click on the title of this post to listen to their on-air exchange. Whatever our problems, they are not going to be solved by shouting past each other.

Falling Off The Messiah's Bandwagon

Jennifer Rubin at Contentions lists the latest dolt to fall off the Messiah's bandwagon: Modo, also known as Maureen Dowd of the New York Times. She joins David Brooks, David Gergen and the loathsome Christopher Buckley in waking up to the fact that President Obama is not what he said he was, never was and isn't about to start acting like it now. Hey 53% America! How's that inexperienced community organizer as President working out for you? And we've only just begun.

Sawalich Withdraws; Sutton Announces

Last night Brandon Sawalich announced that he was withdrawing from the race for Chair of the RPM. Click on image of his letter to enlarge. Tony Sutton announced that he was running for Chair of the RPM. Can it be that we have only one candidate running for the top position? What does that say about the state of our party?
