Frum’s Next Move
David Frum writes about his exit strategy from National Review:
It’s my belief that conservatism as we have known it - and the Republican party as an institution - are in very great trouble. Conservatives and Republicans need a new kind of conversation about how we can adapt to new realities.
I want to assist in that conversation. Starting over Inauguration Weekend, I’ll be launching a new website, NewMajority.com. It will be a group blog, featuring many different voices. Not all of them identify as conservatives or Republicans. But they - and people like them - are the people conservatives and Republicans need.
Let’s just hope he stays away from all that Axis of Evil nonsense. To Frum’s credit, he was one of the first prominent conservatives to openly criticize McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin at a time when she was portrayed as the savior of the party. I disagree with a good chunk of Frum’s political positions, but I have a lot of respect for his candor and intellectual honesty. Wish I could say the same for the remaining ashes of WFB’s legacy.
