Republikanernas Huffington Post

David Frums nystartade sajt New Majority är nödvändig läsning för den som vill följa republikanernas stapplande försök till en comeback.

Här recenserar han George Packers ”Blood of the liberals”:

”A few days before Bill Buckley’s funeral, in preparation for my interview that day with George [Packer], I pulled from the shelf Bill Rusher’s exellent history/memoir, The Rise of the Right. The books end with an arresting conclusion, too long for me to retype here. The gist is this: that everything that has a beginning must have an end. While political conservatism is founded upon deep and enduring truths, political conservatism itself is a political movement that arose in response to certain conditions and that must fade with those conditions. In the end, political conservatism’s core insights will cease to belong to any one political party, and be integrated into the shared history of the American people, part of the historical background from which new politics and new coalitions will arise. To offer such a prediction in 1984, at the very flood tide of conservatism, was brave and prescient. To rediscover it again in 2008 is consoling.”
