David Frum Warns Republicans About Their Total War Against President Obama

Conservative pundit David Frum is taking time off from his column at the Daily Beast, and on his way out of the door, he decide to drop a truth bomb on Republicans. He did it in just one paragraph.

Frum pointed out that the “scandal” at the IRS is an agency scandal, not a White House scandal, and urged Republicans to stop trying to destroy government because they would need it to work when they take the White House again.

I am going to break this one paragraph down point by point. Via the Daily Beast, Frum acknowledged that Republicans/conservatives have engaged in Total War on President Obama, “Still … conservative reformers should admit, if only to themselves, the harm that has been done by the politics of total war over the past five years.”

Frum pointed out that even though the GOP won’t tolerate this being said out loud, secretly, they must admit that Barack Obama is not the worst president of all time, “I appreciate that conservative reformers must pay lip-service to shibboleths about Barack Obama being the worst president of all time, who won’t rest until he has snuffed out the remains of constitutional liberty, etc. etc. Dissent too much from party orthodoxy, and you find yourself outside the party altogether.
