David Frum is a moron

His grand plan for the salvation of conservatism is for conservatives to become more liberal.

A couple of gems from Frum:

He thinks conservatives should commit to making health insurance available to every American. He acknowledges that the government is too deeply involved in health care:

Americans tend to pride themselves on having a private sector health market as compared to those socialist markets elsewhere. But, the truth is the American market is heavily distorted by state interference and by state expenditures.

So, does this pinhead propose the conservative solution, which is to get government out of health care? No, his idea is more government involvement in health care:

We as conservatives should think about being trust-busters in the health field — trying to identify anti-competitive practices, knock them down, create a national market instead of a state market, and open the way to make competition more effective.

Never mind that anyone with a high school education and an IQ over 85 knows that the government never has nor will it ever enhance competition through regulation. That is a purely LIBERAL fantasy.

He wants to extend the child tax credit to 80% of America’s families. Classic conservative stuff, but then he immediately notes that it would be irresponsible for conservatives/Republicans to suggest this without an offsetting revenue source. That’s right, he doesn’t say that we should cut spending, why that would be...ummm...conservative? Instead, he proposes a carbon tax. Yep, he wants conservatives to get behind something that is twice as antithetical to conservatism: taxes and environmentalism.

He likes Bill Clinton’s USA accounts:

This was an idea that Bill Clinton had to create a separate system of accounts that would allow lower income people to save $300 — and if they saved $300, the government would match it with another $300. The Democrats have abandoned it, but I think it’s a pretty good idea.

That is rank Marxian redistributionism, people, and the rhetoric he uses to support it is pure LIBERAL-speak. This is so far left, even the Democrats gave it up.

In short, Frum’s grand plan for conservative salvation is even more triangulation and pragmatism. This guy makes me want to puke.
