Frum In The Abstract

David Frum has said that if Jon Huntsman isn’t the Republican nominee, he’s leaving the party. I didn’t know he was a Republican, for he disavows the platform.

But he sees Ann Coulter as his political ally, smearing Mark Levin’s of Ann Coulter’s latest article.

He suggests that Levin is full of abstract principles and cannot be serious.

Frum is not concerned about collectivism, even goes further than Coulter’s cheering of Romneycare, into the great abyss of welcoming universal health care.

Frum welcomes slavery in the form of an omnipotent ruler called the federal government. He doesn’t appreciate the founding of the greatest nation on earth, and it’s rejection of slavery.

The founders had to work against such influences in crafting the constitution. The principle of a man’s property includes his labor and his individual sovereignty. The founders put the individual in charge of himself and restricted the federal government, since an all-powerful government leads to misery.

If Frum valued himself, he would aspire to reject those who take not only the fruits of his labor, but his children’s labor. But there can be no value in Frum’s existence unless he is yanked around by the federal government. What he doesn’t understand is that he is giving away himself.

Praise for a government that has turned into a lord ruling from on high, instead of one founded on the goodness of the individual and the righteousness of his labor, has no place on the right.
