  David Frum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Frum (born 1960) is a Canadian-American former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, and the author of the first "insider" book about the Bush presidency.
Frum is the son of Barbara Frum (1937-1992), who was one of Canada's most respected and influential journalists and was widely thought to have liberal views.
David Frum is married to writer Danielle Crittenden and is thus the son-in-law of former Toronto Sun editor Peter Worthington.

 Commissar Frum, by Justin Raimondo
Frum is the author of a peculiar conspiracy theory in which all attacks on the War Party — and especially those coming from the right –; are part of a Vast Anti-Semitic Plot, with tentacles lurking in the most unlikely places.
Frum wants it to mean skepticism in the face of the hopeless crusade undertaken by this administration, which is to implant "democracy" in a region that has never known it.
Frum does not even confront the essential argument made by paleoconservatives and libertarians against this war: that its consequences on the home front are going to be the worst of it.

 03/27/03 - Francis On Frum: Good Riddance To National Review
With their own national loyalties now being openly challenged by left and right, the Likudnik neo-conservatives who have dragged this country into war are fighting back by attacking the patriotism of the real conservatives who have questioned the wisdom of going to war and exposed the neo-cons as the political poseurs they are.
The attack itself is the work of David Frum, a former White House speechwriter who supposedly coined the phrase "axis of evil" for President Bush's state of the union address last year.
Frum's "paleos" include one establishment Republican journalist, two libertarian isolationists, one former neo-conservative, and one gentleman who as far as I know is an outright liberal and has no claim to being a conservative at all.

 Amazon.com: The Right Man : The Surprise Presidency of George W. Bush: Books: David Frum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Frum was not part of the inner circle, so his evidence for Bush's leadership sometimes consists of the bold statements Bush made in speeches that were crafted by others to explain policies hashed out by his subordinates.
Frum's argument was that Bush wasn't doing especially well in 2001, and that he may have found himself a one-termer based on his performance those first few months.
Frum certainly isn't the first to posit this transformation, but a few of his insights into this overanalyzed period are worth exploring further.

Frum is the scourge of the paleos; he’s not fooled by Paul Gottfried or any talk about Murray Rothbard.
Frum was ready for World War IV, as it’s called in Pod-speak, and if he and his chicken-hawk friends don’t actually plan to fight in the war, you can be sure they’ll make up for it with their zeal to foment it.

Frum is more uncompromising in support of Israel than any other issue, raising the inescapable question of whether this was the real reason he entered the White House.

 David Frum's Guide to Mythology, by Christopher Montgomery
As the Telegraph didn't tell us – and nor did he for that matter – Mr Frum's potted biography at the end of his five articles was unduly modest: 'David Frum was President Bush's speechwriter in the first year of his administration.
The epistemological implications of this escape Mr Frum but allow me to present them for you: the reason why notions of 'Jewish conspiracies' are vile nonsense is surely obvious to us all.
What, invariably, is the problem with people like David Frum, when they embark on the entirely estimable business of challenging such anti-Semitism as there is, is that they so often, so quickly, so venomously resort to exactly the same category-error of smear and lie anti-Semites do.

FRUM:  Well, I think we have a looming battle over same-sex marriage.  That is very important.  I think there's a lot of unhappiness among conservatives about the recent case about property rights, where the Supreme Court dramatically expanded the circumstances under which a state can take property.
