Hey there y'all,
I might be the only person still looking at this blog anymore, but Billy Idol and I thought this recent commentary by conservative author David Frum was particularly interesting.
In a surprising (to me) turn, Frum concludes "Equality in itself never can be or should be a conservative goal. But inequality taken to extremes can overwhelm conservative ideals of self-reliance, limited government and national unity. It can delegitimize commerce and business and invite destructive protectionism and overregulation. Inequality, in short, is a conservative issue too. We must develop a positive agenda that integrates the right kind of egalitarianism with our conservative principles of liberty."
It's nice to see a conservative advocate for a greater balance of equality/inequality, even if he seemingly only does so to boost higher Republican ballot returns.
What do you think? ...as Roger Waters asked in The Wall, "Is there Anybody Out There?"
