Frum will sacrifice con social/cultural stuff to save con foreign policy; "pragmatic" neoconservatism.https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/710466088509767680 …
@htmlmencken People so eagerly forget that nice Frummy coauthored a messianically neocon fo-po book titled An End To Evil (now @ 1¢ at Amz).

@ChMadar Yeah, w Richard Perle. The end thesis was 'war on terra forever, victory or holocaust'. I read it at the time. *Shudders* -
@htmlmencken Lovely people. And it pays to remember that Perle is a… Democrat. -
@ChMadar and IIRC lives with the cheese-eating surrender monkeys in France. Tho he looks like the Hamburglar, he has a gourmond's tastes. -
@htmlmencken Yes, a francophile and a big fan of Rimbaud… he's an interesting villain, I'll give him that. -
@ChMadar Heh. Rimbaud took off to fight in Ethiopia IIRC. Braver man than Perle.

@ChMadar But you're right; he's "nice." Sure he wants to incinerate Iran, but at least he's not a bigot! Polite enuff 2 podcast w Jeet Heer. -
@htmlmencken Frum's perceived niceness means… foreign policy = a distant planet for most US pundits and/or no deep disagreement with neocons
