    People get mad whenever I praise @davidfrum but he really knows the American right. This piece is excellent: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/12/conservatism-is-what-conservatives-think-say-and-do/548738/ …

        Conservatism never existed.

        This all assumes that real conservatism ever existed.

        I think people get mad because Frum is a bad person, morally, and this is a bad article, starting out with a flat falsehood that @charlescwcooke's attack was personal. (My comment about Frum is a personal attack, but that's another matter.)

        yeah, it's the war crimes thing, but journos don't hate war crimes as much as regular people

        I protested the war. But I’m baffled by the historical ignorance it takes to hold Frum up as a war criminal. https://www.guernicamag.com/the_limits_to_my_selfimportanc_1/ … So many many people were responsible. And many of them —unlike Frum—have expressed *no* regrets.

        Except he’s wrong - if anyone thinks this started w Trump they haven’t been paying attention. This is the end result of a 30 year movement that isn’t finished

        This type of conservatism will collapse but historically it takes an economic depression as a trigger

        The piece is atrocious. Read what Cooke actually said about Rubin and the embassy in Israel, then read how Frum represented it.

        Cooke's argument is weak tea.
