Hi, I'm David Frum - the rabid right-wing ultra-compassionate conservative, the uber-centrist, and the monster of moderate extremism. My unthinking fanatical followers have dubbed me el-Frumbo, a lovable little sleazeball, and Doctor Doom of Democracy. The legendary Al Franken wrote a book about me titled David Frum is a Big Fat Idiot. My phenomenal name recognition and huge popularity among capitalist ruling classes are making the common man shudder at the very sound of the word "Frum." It invokes horrible images of right-wing conspiracy and an imminent reactionary junta that dwarfs the bloody tyranny of George W. Bush. Such are my bona fides.

I have been outed by the unbiased media and members of the US Congress as the sole cause of all wars, poverty, famines, country music, and Republicanism. Every disaster in the last two thousand years has been traced back to my long, scaly tentacles.

They called me, David Frum, a liar, a bigot, a hypocrite, a racist, and a donut-inhaling drug addict. I, David Frum, was harassed, fired from ESPN, and numerous late-night TV comedians have exposed to the national audiences every square inch of my glorious naked exoskeleton.

And now my title of the Republican Prince of Darkness is being contested by some radio guy in Florida, named Rush Limbaugh - think about it - Rush Limbaugh! It's not even an evil name! How dare this hick from the sticks with his cigars, his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, reach for the Republican crown - when it was I, the criminal mastermind David Frum, who single-handedly created the Republican Party one lazy afternoon out of straw and some dust bunnies from under my chair!

It was I, the crazed neo-con David Frum, who slipped into Bush's hands the diabolical "Mission Accomplished" speech when he wasn't looking. I'm bursting out in maniacal laughter - Ha! Ha! Ha! - when I think that anyone may compare me, the Mother of all Right-Wingers, to a radio host who can't even get on the payroll of any broadcasting network, but instead has his own little private syndicated show from noon to three, when all normal people watch CNN Newsroom!

Yet even our soft-spoken and conciliatory President Obama, a devoted husband and father who epitomizes the ideal of responsibility, who is physically honed and admired by women voters - even he got duped into treating Limbaugh as a legitimate voice of conservative nutjobs - instead of me, David Frum, who is the official Goliath of right-wing nutjob ideology!

Rahm Emanuel, the moderate White House Chief of Staff, made the same mistake on Face the Nation, endorsing Limbaugh as "the voice and the intellectual force and energy behind the Republican party." Excuse me! Hello! Aren't you forgetting something? It is I, David Frum, who is the walking stereotype of militant arrogance - exactly the image that Barack Obama wants to affix to our insane philosophy and our corrupt, bankrupt party!

I, David Frum, wrote two best-selling how-to books, World Domination for Dummies and The Idiot's Guide to a Successful Evil Dictatorship. And why did I ever bother? All they can hear is a single sentence Rush Limbaugh said on the radio, about his wish for President Obama to fail. How silly is that?

First of all, saying such a thing on the radio violates Rule One of Evil Conspiracy: never, ever tell anyone - even your co-conspirators - what you really think. My advice to conservatives has always been to tell everyone - friends, colleagues, even their house pets - that they want Barack Obama to succeed. Now, thanks to Limbaugh, we'll have to do it all over again but louder. We may even have to start acting like we mean it.

Furthermore, if we want to rule ever again, we must change the very definition of "Republican" to "one who wants President Obama to succeed" - even if his success relies mostly on branding Republicans as a party of scheming, incompetent, bigoted, knuckle-dragging, science-hating, power-hungry, oil-thirsty, nature-wrecking, Bible-thumping, minority-hating imperialists and Zionist puppets that we are.

Come on, it's the 21st century, people - the age of collectivism, multiculturalist balkanization, forced equality, and ethnic socialism. The rule of law is dead - long live the rule of the lowest common denominator.

If we want to be the party of ideas, and Democrats have succeeded in popularizing socialist ideas, then by all means we must become the party of socialist ideas!

Unfortunately, in our conservative community, we have a foolish tendency to dismiss unwelcome realities. When true visionaries like me, David Frum, look up and holler, "Hey, evil co-conspirators, there's an avalanche of righteous indignation from community groups heading our way!" the others, like Limbaugh, tend to call me a "squish" or a RINO - Republican in Name Only - and promise that conservatives will be safe if only they stay on the moral high ground.

What moral high ground? This is where I, David Frum, have a major philosophical disagreement with Rush Limbaugh.

Republicans will never regain power unless we abandon the mythical moral high ground and level with the progressive majority by denouncing each other for the darkness of our hearts, the emptiness of our souls, and the evil of our ways. Polling of concerned citizens and community organizers in network news focus groups conclusively indicates that the Founding Fathers were wrong, and the Bill of Rights was a bridge too far. We can no longer win by supporting property rights, free enterprise, and individual responsibility - all phantoms that no modern thinker seriously believes in.

But Limbaugh is not interested in our success. The better Republicans succeed in denouncing their own principles in the Democrat-controlled media, the more Rush will be sidelined with his silly, outdated notions of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And vice versa: the longer Rush's supporters believe in that tired adage, the longer it will keep Republicans from joining the mainstream, becoming a broad governing coalition, and replacing Democrats - while Democrats move on to replace the Daily Kos bloggers.

Rush knows what he is doing. Trying to delay historically inevitable socialism serves nothing but his selfish, narrowly defined interest. It's easy for him to stick to his message because his listenership of 20 million makes him a very wealthy man.

But I, David Frum, challenge him to do something harder, yet more honorable - to throw away his beliefs and sacrifice his own talent to the needs of the larger community. This is what a compassionate conservative would've done. Try holding up wet finger in the air like the rest of us for a change! And if you can't force yourself to say what the progressive majority wants to hear, you have no right telling them they are wrong. Because if so many people agree on something, it must be right.

You might ask, why can't I just turn on the radio and listen to how Rush explains himself? Well, I didn't become what I am by observing the obvious. Instead, I must look for a hidden insane motive and arrange the reality around it. My political instinct tells me that Rush's hidden insane motive is to replace me, David Frum, as supreme ruler and protector of the conservative netherworld.

To achieve this goal, he is deploying the most terrible weapon known to modern man - he becomes offended. He knows full well that conservatives have long ago been conditioned not to offend anybody, which is a mortal sin in today's politics. And Rush is very easily offended. It allows him to command us like a pack of Pavlovian dogs, while extracting apologies from Republican members of Congress, and making the RNC Chairman grovel at his feet - which, I must admit, is a very satisfying experience.

Another reason not to listen to Limbaugh is that he is not serious. Nobody who takes power seriously would want President Obama to fail. In today's world, Obama's policies have proven to be the fastest and the most efficient way of getting in power and keeping it. What's not to like?

If the recent elections have taught us anything, Republicans can only win by imitating Democrats. If Democrats promise hope and change, we promise hope and change, and like it. In 2008, this winning strategy brought us John McCain, whom Democrats were able to wag like a dog wags its tail. From where I was standing I saw a tremendous victory coming our way. It could be ours but Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin stepped in it.

Another important lesson is that those who own the public school system own the future. And the public school system has been in Democrat hands for half a century. If more and more young people vote Democrat in each election, it means that Democrats are teaching our children that their rights are no longer derived from the natural law, but come from the government; that the purpose of social justice is to enable the people's right to trade freedom for free government cheese; and that freedom and cheese can only exist in reverse proportion to one another.

And why would we persuade them otherwise? We'll only lose their votes. A wiser approach is to double the amount of cheese crumbs. A dependent nation is an obedient nation, and a pleasure to boss around. If our goal is to govern, why ruin it for ourselves?

Such an approach entails a gigantic government tent with enough room for everyone, including Limbaugh. He can even continue to serve as a radio announcer with talent on loan from the FCC, provided he limits his speech to explaining why there weren't enough crumbs for everybody under capitalism, and why elections must now be postponed until the Central Planning Committee resolves the current food crisis.

Of all the questions critical to the future of conservatism, this one is above all: to profit - or to serve? It may look like some sort of choice, but it isn't. It's a trick question. Make the wrong move and there'll be no place for you in David Frum's compassionate conservative future. Other than that, it's a beautiful place where making a profit is a sin, and mandatory government service - from each according to his ability - is a citizen's duty. As a citizen and a patriot, Limbaugh will surely want his government to succeed, won't he? Or he'd have to quit calling himself a conservative and get out of the Republican Party.

UPDATE:

AUTHOR'S COMMENT:
The argument between Limbaugh and Frum is, in fact, a rerun of the argument between Ayn Rand and conservative leaders at the time, whom she criticized for surrendering the moral high ground to liberals. She always enclosed both "liberals" and "conservatives" in ironic quotation marks, because "liberals" weren't promoting liberty, and "conservatives" weren't conserving anything of value.

Of course she sided with conservatives politically, and her criticism of them was of the same nature as that of Limbaugh's. But conservative intellectuals, the David Frum's predecessors, succeeded in sidelining her influence, demonizing her personally, and marginalizing her ideas. Now they are trying to do the same to Rush Limbaugh.

And look where it brought us. The sorry state of the conservative movement today is a proof that she was right and they were wrong. Read David Frum's absurd arguments and consider the meaning of "compassionate conservative" with its lame-brain implication that conservatives without that modifier are some sort of evil totalitarianists. No wonder Rush invokes Atlas Shrugged on his show more and more often.

And no wonder David Frum's types are saying that the Reagan days are over. Ronald Reagan worked together with Ayn Rand on organizing an anti-Communist resistance in Hollywood in the 1940s. Rand was older and wiser, had first-hand knowledge of communism / socialism in Russia, and her ideas were instrumental in helping Reagan move from liberalism to conservatism. Now Reagan is being sidelined just like Rand was before him - along with Limbaugh and the rest of like-minded supporters. Are we seeing a trend here?

In fact, writing this piece helped me to understand what bothered me in the term "compassionate conservative." It happens to be the centerpiece in a whole cluster of misconceptions, logical fallacies, cowardly implications, and moral idiocy.

Liberal bellies will begin growing hungry.
Does even this crisis advance Obama's ideology?

As always, comrade Red Square, I am enthralled by your observations.

The phenomenon you have so perceptively illustrated and brought to our attention (for the first time to my eyes-I might add) can only be explained by a neurosis that I would call: "Haughty-itus." However, you will observe that those afflicted with "Haughty-itus" also suffer from a debilitating after effect: "failure-to-connect-the-dot-itus," i.e. their conceit renders them completely incapable of connecting concept A to concept B.

This phenomenom repeatledly occurs in artists, musicians and others who once produced works of beauty, but later produced works of mud after being touched by the two-edged sword of fame.

Of particular comfort to those of us who still have faculties capable of connecting dots, however, are the numbers, that is, take a look at the number of books written by W. Buckley (who spoke of Ayn Rand with extreme condescension and whose son was particularly afflicted with this disease), that were written and are now out of print (nearly every single one of them) with the books written by Ayn Rand, that are still selling like hotcakes.

Even silly amateur radio hosts continue to espouse the principles of Ayn Rand with shows like: The Prophesies of Atlas Shrugged.

I really do hate to say it, but who would want David Frum, Rush Limbaugh, or Ann Coulter to represent ones party affiliation ?? All three are visions of anti-human Repulsiveness. The Republican party is in trouble.

Btw, I thought the quote Bush used was David Frum's "Axis of Evil."

Blue Bell wrote:I really do hate to say it, but who would want David Frum, Rush Limbaugh, or Ann Coulter to represent ones party affiliation ?? All three are visions of anti-human Repulsiveness.

Welcome back, Blue Bell! We missed you.

I like Rush and Ann personally -- they tell it like it is. I like having Rush and Ann on our side as opposed to, say, Al Franken (who is now a Senator) and Bill Maher who is just crude, bigoted, angry and grossly ill-informed. And Maher makes no bones about being bigoted, he comes right out and says he loathes religion and those who have religion.

Blue Bell wrote:The Republican party is in trouble.

I said the same thing back in '04 about the Dems -- and then 2006 rolled around.

Frum and his Compassionate Conservative cohorts you guys can have. Frum & Co. like statism so he will fit right in with the Dems.

Red Square wrote:Now Reagan is being sidelined just like Rand was before him - along with Limbaugh and the rest of like-minded supporters. Are we seeing a trend here?

Red,
Yeah, there is definitely a trend going on here -- a trend that won't cease until the grassroots organizes and rallies for the marginalization of the Frumian Nanny-Staters.

Unfortunately no Kos-like movement has developed yet that would serve as a rallying point for sane Conservatives like us here to participate in. Even worse, the GOP is still leaderless given Michael Steele's utter amatuer handling of his new job as GOP Chair.

Without leaders, creativity and a restoration of our shared core values as Conservatives, I'm afraid the Left will continue their march on everything we hold dear.

When Frum, comparing Obama to Limbaugh, says,

On the one side, the president of the United States: soft-spoken and conciliatory, never angry, always invoking the recession and its victims. This president invokes the language of "responsibility," and in his own life seems to epitomize that ideal: He is physically honed and disciplined, his worst vice an occasional cigarette. He is at the same time an apparently devoted husband and father. Unsurprisingly, women voters trust and admire him.

I can't help but feel that he's going for the "Chris Mathews leg tingle effect." Of course, as a loyal comrade and party member, I can't help but feel that tingle whenever Obama talks about redistribution of wealth.

What we need is a Ron Paul type persona that can unify the party. If he or she is easy on the eyes too, that won't hurt. :p

All crisis are for gain and advancement. The Crisis is all. All is the crisis. If one does not exist make it up. Comrade Frum hides his ideology well so that the unsuspecting 'Conservatives' in his influence circle will never know they have been carefully manipulated and mind controlled into a subservient to the party mode.
All hail thepuppet Comrade Frum.
Was that 20 thousand or 20 hundred readers and listeners the good Comrade had?

I'm ignorant on this topic, so can anyone simplify for me the ideas of Rush, Ann and Frum? You know, give me the basic ideas. If so, I could participate in a discussion.

Thanks guys.

IMVHO, there's a difference between being a "leader" and being a "voice" and the Left has the two confused, possibly because they can't wrap their minds around the latter. A leader tells you what to think. Contrary to the Left's belief, Rush doesn't tell his listeners what to think--he only says what THEY think. The Left can't stand the idea that so many multitudes might think as he does--that scares them more than one big mouthed individual--so they're trying to turn tables and pin the "leader" label on him. In their minds, a single leader is easier to take out than millions, and doing so will make the Left feel better if nothing else. But unfortunately for them and their confusion over the difference, silencing what's actually a voice will not necessarily silence all the millions of others as long as they want to be heard.

I notice neither Red Square nor Chairman Meow use "leader" in a singular form as it applies to conservatives. They use it as either plural or say "leaderless."

For what do conservatives prize more highly than individual liberty? The freedom to think for ourselves, make our own decisions, and be willing to take responsibility for those decisions, without some vapid, smooth-talking messiah to tell us what to do. The Left, on the other hand, has always been in search of a "One" who will tell them how they should feel (which is usually miserable) and what to think, and ply them with empty promises of leading them out of their imaginary bondage and solving all their problems for them.

I wonder if we don't need a Leader so much as we need more Voices. Lots of Voices. Loud Voices. The Left has been playing whack-a-mole with every great conservative voice that pops up (e.g. Palin and then Jindal--look at how they went after him based solely on his rebuttal to Obama's speech to Congress). They're putting more energy into playing conservative whack-a-mole then they are solving this country's problems--problems they created and blame on conservatives with the help of the MSM. Maybe what they need are more heads to whack--so many they can't keep up till it's game over.

Ah!

Good, good....

Continue to fight with each other, Comrades.....so the Party of the People can continue to pick up seats in the House and Senate.

I love when the terms of the debate keep attention away from the Peoples' Supreme Soviet. I mean, Congress.

Good, good....


"The People and the Party - One!"

On the other hand without dissension there is no opposition. Without oppositional there is no disagreement. Without disagreement there is party unity. Like the Democrat Party has now. All walk proudly in lock step with their hands in your pockets and their sights set on making how you live a party decision.
Forward in the Party indeed.

Hiya Blue Bell....long time, no post. I hope all is well with you and yours down in Texas. Hope your garden is doing good. I'm just starting on mine now that Spring is around the corner.

Sorry....Pinkie is right...Republicans don't look for or need a "Leader"...a "Führer" ...or a "Dear Leader"...people who believe in such nonsense are lemmings who will fall over a cliff for a personality cult.
Witness Obama, he's a dolt who is having an affair behind Michelle's back (he's sleeping with his teleprompter) but he's a dangerous dolt who believes in his own narcissistic COP just like Hitler. Thank God, unlike Hitler, I don't think he has a plan, just a craving for absolute power.
Rush is a voice, albeit a wry satirical one. I didn't like Rush when I was much younger, but I didn't "get it". As I got older and wiser (and more satirical) I listened with an open mind and a different sense of humor and I came away enlightened. A good sense of cynicism helps too.
Ann Coulter is hilarious Blue Bell. Get a copy of "Guilty" from your local library and read the second chapter. It describes my crackhead, liberal, welfare cheating, single mom sister to a "T". This is a problem that is crushing America and she gets it 100% correct, not politically correct since the country now worships "single motherhood", but correct.
As for Frum, boy, are those are some big "liver lips". You can fry those up with some onions. No wonder Bush sucked when he read speeches...Bush was better "off the cuff". David is a "has been hack". When Obama speaks "off the cuff" it's an unmitigated disaster.
That's the big difference between parties.
Democrats crave a "Führer" and love "has beens" like Stuffinenvelopes, Tingly Matthews, and Keith "Shit for Brains" Olbermann.
Republicans crave principals, believe in personal responsibilities (Obama's trying to steal that one...it'll never work, because it requires WORK, not victimhood) which leads to individual leadership. Each person should be a leader and lead by their own principals...
Principals that Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, Quinn, Coulter, and Ayn Rand all have in common with our beliefs. They are voices, not leaders.
We, The People are the leaders.

Regarding Mister President Obam, I thought this latest offering from the zealots at Amazon was particularly amusing.



I'm tempted to buy one just to
a. remind myself what a cardboard cutout he really is
b. be able to sell his effigy to other devotees for a profit
c. have something on my shelf to remember I need to improve my lot in life
d. have something to knock down, trample on, burn whenever stupidass statements like "the economic crisis isn't as bad as we think" roll out of teleprompter

-edit-
HA, I just noticed that Michelle was actually a black Catie Kourick! Freudian slip, perhaps? Or does she still wear Victoria's Secret?

While I'm on the subject look at the amount and quality of publications at Amazon on G.W. Bush:
G.W. Bush on Amazon

Now compare to the subject and quality of publications at Amazon on B.H.Obama:<br>B.H. on Amazon

Odd. Especially since B.H. has only been in office a few months - that's a great deal of lit on a man that has no track record. Free speech at work.

Perhaps this would have made a better gift for Minister Lavrov...

Pinkie wrote:For what do conservatives prize more highly than individual liberty? The freedom to think for ourselves, make our own decisions, and be willing to take responsibility for those decisions, without some vapid, smooth-talking messiah to tell us what to do.

What I mean by a leader is someone who can articulate our values and advance our agenda in Washington -- competent, limited government; significant roll-back of onerous taxation, regulation and failed social programs; a strong national defense (especially on the Southern border); and the ability to communicate the benefits of a capitalistic system.

When folks say we need a Reagan they are pretty much summing up the above and we need someone like that in Washington right now. Yes, Conservative don't need a messianic figure -- and the subsequent cult-of-personality that comes with such a figure. But we do need someone who other wayward Congressional (or State-wide) Republicans can follow and say, "You know what, he/she has some pretty good ideas! I think I'll vote/support him/her".

However, there are those who do need structure and a model upon which to aspire to. Even Rush Limbaugh sings the praises of the late Ronald Reagan and sees him as a viable political figure that can serve as a model, albeit an ideological and inspirational one, for the GOP. Without someone to piece back together the Conservative coalition -- which is in tatters as evidenced by this feud between the Frums, Douthats, Ambinders, Buckleys and the Limbaughs, Levins and Ingrahams -- we will not be a viable political force come 2010 or even 2012 without the message and a return to the core principles.

Do we need a messiah? No. Do we need competent voices and folks with vision in Washington who share our values and vision for America? Yes -- and we need them now.

We have lots and lots of voices. Sadly, some of them are out of tune and don't have a clear consistent message. They are like a choir without the choir master. We need a Coryphaeus: we need a new Reagan or Gingrich with the political-know-how and a working Conservative vision which others in Washington will be compelled to follow. Do we need someone to tell us what to do? Absolutely not.

After four years of Obama people will be hungry for competence, confidence and a good communicator who does not rely on canned speeches from a 27 year-old speechwriter or with the help of a teleprompter. Can Palin or Jindal supply those three essentials? Time will tell.

I do not keep abreast of all these capitalist running dogs, but it would seem this David Frum, like John Frum, has his own cargo cult, or at least he carries some dubious baggage that he drops on people who don't understand it but gratefully seek and pray for more when it stops. The results are rather similar.

Tender, Juicy Obama Fingers Hit the Shelves
<br>They must go well with Obama Nuts

A German frozen food company hopes to raise sales with a new product: Obama fingers. The tender, fried chicken bits come with a tasty curry sauce. The company says it was unaware of the possible racist overtones of the product.

When I was a kid, I remember how the Soviet establishment honored their favorite American communist by naming a popular chocolate cake "Paul Robeson." I guess it was in existence since the late 50s or early 60s. Already in the 1990s, when American liberals started visiting in droves, they finally discovered the cake and denounced it as racist. Until then, for 30 or 40 years, the Soviets were eating Paul Robeson chocolate cake without realizing the deep, underlying evil of their ways. They just liked his deep voice, and it tasted good.

There might be a voodoo connotation here too--totems, dolls, and ritualistic cannibalism.

Let's ask Rahm Emanuel. If anyone knows, he does.

Obama fingers? I thought those were Tootsie-Rolls.

In Texas we called Brazil nuts something else entirely--but that went out in the 60s as being a bit much.

Most Magnanimous Red Square,

I must have this cake recipe, at once! It will be the fitting finish to my extrordinary menu for Lucretia!


Paul Robeson was way down with the black struggle for equality, and was obviously, a strong influence on our dear Leader. Obama wants to be the President for all the people, but in reality, he is doing everything he can to promote the black "struggle" just as he learned, sitting in that pew every Sunday for 20 years, listening to his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The white man will pay, and there is no other way!

Chairman,

I wouldn't count Newt out just yet. Enough time has passed since his "disgrace" and I think his suggestions are a good start on solving the problems this country is facing. The Republican Party would do well to listen to someone who is very familar with the workings of Congress and how to get legislation written and passed (10 terms in Congress, and even then he wanted term limits) that will benefit this country. He has said he would consider running again when he analyzes where we are in 2010. Myself, I hope he runs, or at least advises the future leaders who do emerge by then. (Yes, Chairman, he is trying to keep himself in the public's thoughts, but it isn't out of arrogance)

Thank you, Red, for the link to the President's nuts. I just like the idea that for a few rubles you can have Obama's nuts and a little bit of his fingers inside of you. That delights me so. BTW, how was the Robeson cake? Does it go well with KoolAid?

[HIGHLIGHT=#ffff00]Yeah, I think he is going to run in 2012 -- but first he has to shed a few pounds and that will be our sign if he is serious.

She's pretty, (not a frumpy grandma like Barbara Bush, or too demure like Laura Bush) and has charm and a good head on her shoulders. (She would have to, to deal with Newt's legendary charm with the ladies...the ladies fall for his brain, Chairman....LOL)

[HIGHLIGHT=#ffff00]There is one candidate though we must all vow to stand against: CHARLIE CRIST. [/HIGHLIGHT]

Ahhh...yes, most esteemed Chairman, "Chain Gang Charlie" Just what the Party doesn't need! Couldn't pass the FL law bar exam 2x......the Terry Schiavo case....the Perlman affair.....wouldn't stand w/ Bush out of political expediency, but would w/ Obama to promote economic recovery......I could go on for days about Mr. Environmentalist. My parents rant on about him continuously....he'd be real fodder for the media !

They say he wants to go to the US Senate though (even tried to get there before....at least he's persistent ), and he'd fit in very well there. He's just like the rest of the Republican Left in tenure in Washington....you know changes with the direction of the most favorable poll.

I like Sarah too....but only as VP. She is hated by the feminista, both on the Left and the Right,(yes, Chairman there are feminists in the Republican Party as well. I saw one on O'Reilly recently) , so let's make her Newt's running mate. I think the public understands now that she was preyed on by the media and she continues to run a tight ship in her state of Alaska.

Bobby Jindal, while he is very competent and courageous, will need more seasoning. I see him running for President in 2020.

As for Sanford... I'm not sure who you mean?

I personally like the boy scout with the plastic fair-hair. He successfully saved failing companies for a living, so I think he could really put a strong economic policy in place. I also really like Alan Keyes, but he will never be taken seriously. I'd rather see Keyes as VP than Palin. I'm sorry, what year is it again? 2000?

Great Stalin's Ghost wrote:When Frum, comparing Obama to Limbaugh, says,

On the one side, the president of the United States: soft-spoken and conciliatory, never angry, always invoking the recession and its victims. This president invokes the language of "responsibility," and in his own life seems to epitomize that ideal: He is physically honed and disciplined, his worst vice an occasional cigarette. He is at the same time an apparently devoted husband and father. Unsurprisingly, women voters trust and admire him.

I can't help but feel that he's going for the "Chris Mathews leg tingle effect." Of course, as a loyal comrade and party member, I can't help but feel that tingle whenever Obama talks about redistribution of wealth.

I wasn't talking about Mitt, Herr Doktor. I was thinking along the lines of the preachy holier than thou Ralph Reeds and Tony Perkins of the party.

I must have this cake recipe, at once! It will be the fitting finish to my extrordinary menu for Lucretia!


Paul Robeson was way down with the black struggle for equality, and was obviously, a strong influence on our dear Leader. Obama wants to be the President for all the people, but in reality, he is doing everything he can to promote the black "struggle" just as he learned, sitting in that pew every Sunday for 20 years, listening to his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The white man will pay, and there is no other way!

Chairman,

I wouldn't count Newt out just yet. Enough time has passed since his "disgrace" and I think his suggestions are a good start on solving the problems this country is facing. The Republican Party would do well to listen to someone who is very familar with the workings of Congress and how to get legislation written and passed (10 terms in Congress, and even then he wanted term limits) that will benefit this country. He has said he would consider running again when he analyzes where we are in 2010. Myself, I hope he runs, or at least advises the future leaders who do emerge by then. (Yes, Chairman, he is trying to keep himself in the public's thoughts, but it isn't out of arrogance)

It is my sincere hope as a Native of Georgia that Newt runs for the hills and disappears.
I refer to the hills as that is where he can find trees to hug. When I think of Newt I think of Re-runs and old business. Newt is very much the believer in Global Warming and has much to say about everything and little to actually do about anything. He has the penchant for saying things best not said. He would not make a good Commissar, he does not make a good Prole. All that aside I have nothing against him, although I note he has no shovel and I bet he does not eat beets.

Now the 'One' brings new perspective to total group effort toward the 'All' assisting the 'All'. Wounded Warriors injured in service to their country have for too long bled the Proletariat to death taking from them monies for VA Benefits but no longer, Now these Veterans having served honorably and made the sacrifice can continue to show that sacrifice and further garner more acclaim as they pay their own bills. Truly the better sacrifice because it is for the Party and for the 'All', as well as the 'One'. [Who receives his Health Care Benefits courtesy of the Proletariat but do not release that information.]
Truly he outdoes all that preceded him, all HellHail the 'One'.

You've coded the crack, er cracked the code.Perhaps the Maltese Falcon is part of the overall scheme after all Sam never actually surrendered it up.
Perhaps this Emir has knowledge of it's location. With it all things are possible for the 'One'.
That once possessed by the Knights Templar and passed to the King of Spain surely has power beyond mortal ken?
Perhaps it lies in Casablanca where Rick can locate it for the 'One'.
It was after all, when all was said and done, much like the one who should possess it. Worthless.
Don't Bogart that if you don't mind.

Dear Chairman M.S. Punchenko and Laika the Space Dog,

Thanks for you kind welcome back greeting. I was moved and smiley-faced by your kindness and friendship. A special thank you to Comrade Red Square for giving us proles "The Peoples Cube" and to all of you that particpate in making it the best meet-up up place of its kind... You are the "bestest and the brightest" bar none !

Many thanks,

I remember back in late 1999 when Keyes was on H&C and called Colmes a racist. It was an hilarious exchange. Then, after the 2000 New Year, he was being asked what his New Year's resolution was. He gave some speech about how he needed to be less restrained and will have to pick up the intensity in the future, all with a very serious, straight face. My jaw dropped open as I tried to imagine how Keyes could be any more intense, and then he all of a sudden burst out laughing. He cracks me up in addition to being the most conservative candidate I know to have run for President.

Zampolit Blokhayev wrote:[2. Frum is a Kulak. Once Comrade President Obama succeeds, this useful idiot will be up against the wall!

Comrade ZB,

I know you are an incredibly equal Party Member and all, but I believe Frum is one of ours for the following reasons:

1. Never heard of this tool.
2. It was in Newsweek for Science's sake. It's the weekly version of the NYT.
3. Would a real conservative "Uncle Tom" his own party like that?
4. He's doing the work of The Party by attempting to weaken conservatives and issue them all tinfoil hats.
5. If allowed to continue, he will ensure there is only The Party.

Yours in CHope,

COV

I believe that Mr. Frum is a Canadian who has come to New York and who has grown, as who would not? surrounded by the miasma of Progressive New York. I have read Mr. Frum's articles in the papers of the enemy--<i>The Weekly Standard</i> and others, and had always thought him one of the enemy.

I see that he has grown.

No doubt he'll be asked to the right parties now.

Ah, paper and electronic trails will do that (and here I am creating my own). I had some interest in Ron Paul (I did not expect a win, but he said more that I liked than many others at the time) then up came some old newsletters of his that (memory fogs) were clearly going to be spun/blown-up into racist tirades, if needed. And thus my interest in RP died, although I still like "Dr. No."

One of the crotchets of the modern world is that silence will sometimes get you something. David Souter had virtually no paper trail before his nomination to the Supremes. And therefore nothing to be attacked.

I'm leaving a trail here but after all, Theocritus--I've been dead for millennia.

This millenia business. Now, I know you're a dedicated progressive and have voted correctly (note the usage of the present perfect to suggest--ahem, acknowleddge--this will continue, despite your existentially challenged state), as I do, but let me pose a potential boner: Is one more valuable to ACORN and the Party dead or alive?

That merits deep thought. I shall ponder it while eating Oatmeal.
Dead one can vote forever, with no worries of being discovered to have voted more than once, as the possibility of punishment is nil. One can also vote for the choice of the party with no mental qualms concerning having done the 'right' thing.
Alive one can vote but if you vote twice and are discovered then certain bad things will happen to you, unless you are a Member of the Party in good standing in which case like the Tax Evaders those who forgot to pay their taxes you can be forgiven and made to listen to one hour of Oprah or Two hours of the 'View'. Alive you may experience some mental qualms and require Party Re-education help from fellow members of the party.
It would seem Dead is the cheapest way to go and there are so many Dead Voters who seem to be Democrat inclined and of a Liberal Bent.
Even the 'Godfather of Soul' can vote.
I would weigh to the side of the Dead are more valuable.
But then if this was a strictly rhetorical or even Philosophical question not requiring respone. Please fee free to ignore all the above.
I believe George Romero is recruiting new voters even now.
