Among the punditry, David Frum has become quite an interesting figure. He has solid credentials as a Conservative and Republican, having written speeches for George W. Bush, including the one wherein that president flexed his testicles by denouncing "The Axis of Evil." These days though, a lot of those on the right loathe and denounce Frum. Why? Because he's telling them a lot of things they don't want to hear, mainly that their strategies won't get them where they want to go. He thinks the Becks and Limbaughs out there are creating a fantasy world for their followers to live in, that compromise with Democrats is preferable to trying (and often failing) to rake in all the chips, and that the Sarah Palin faction is leading his/their party off the cliff. As a result, a lot of folks on the right hate him more than they hate Obama, Biden, Michael Moore, Hillary, Olbermann or any of their enemies.
In this piece, Frum lays out a few of the mistakes he thinks his side is making. Pay particular attention to the first, which is the one about the fantasy world. I think the man's right and I don't think anyone who should listen to him will listen to him.
