Conservatism is on the ropes; if my dialogue below with David Frum [1] suggests anything, it's that. So Bob Borosage, in the comments, makes a suggestion:
What we need is to catalog the 10 or 20 classic conservative "not sos"— the big lies or cons that have become central to the story they tell both to themselves and to the country—with the basic refutation. So that those of us who aren't historians of the Nixon era can share in the same delightful moment of uh,uh,uh, dither that you produced in Frum.
So: let's make this a community project. Any nominees?
Conservatism is on the ropes; if my dialogue below with David Frum suggests anything, it's that. So what would you say that would make a conservative go "um, um" by refuting the big lies they tell?
