John Hawkins has a href=”http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2008/01/an_interview_with_david_frum_a.php”an interview up /a with David Frum, author of br /a href=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385515332?ie=UTF8tag=wwwviolentkicomlinkCode=as2camp=1789creative=9325creativeASIN=0385515332″emComeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again./em/aimg src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwviolentkicoml=as2o=1a=0385515332″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” / Frankly, after reading the interview, I couldn’t tell many of Frum’s supposedly conservative responses from that of a liberal Democrat–don’t worry about cutting taxes, give even more government handouts to low income groups, etc. br /br /It seems that eventually politics gravitates towards the liberal side of the aisle.
