Against Dumb
Our FrumForum intern ad has stirred criticism in a corner of the blogosphere.
David Frum’s true colors
Frum has a poster of Lenin and is claiming he wants a Counter Revolution as opposed to the Conservative Revolution going on now. This picture reveals what he is, a Totalitarian Progressive.
Actually I don't "have" a poster of Lenin. What you are looking at in the ad is a Warsaw street installation. A giant red-tinted image of Lenin confronted an equally huge white-tinted image of Josef Pilsudski, commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Russo-Polish war of 1920. The Polish language street sign visible in the picture might (you'd think) act as some kind of tip-off.
But then, hints and tips must bounce off the skull of anyone who could write the sentence quoted above. Which brings us back to the ad: This website exists because I devoutly believe that there exists a huge national audience of people who believe in limited government, free markets, technological progress, and a strong American role in the world - but who do not want to be represented and championed by paranoid idiots. They would have proudly voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984, but they recoiled from Sarah Palin in 2008. They are for freedom, but against dumb. And some have the time, energy and passion to join the cause personally.
Maybe you're such a person yourself? Or know one? We could use your help. Apply for a FrumForum internship - or send the link to an interested younger person - and help us storm the Winter Palace of stupidity!
