Entry: A Silence That Speaks Volumes Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_silence_that_speaks_volumes#7977 Post contents: Scott, Your reflections are true and given the climate, very generous. But we must be honest, even in our charity, and call these fellows by name, and their name is legion. This is not the first time for any of these fellows to attack their elders. They like to drop names, boast of their connections, prefer abstract audiences to real friends and will never stand for any truth beyond the shadow of any current, cultural, prejudice. They are childish in temperment,sometimes clever in errudition, but more like kids than men in both the demonstration of their opinions or any given understanding of the real debate--the permanent things. They are minor league players in a rich and tawdry political endeavor that will not last for long because it lacks all substance and essence, and therefore, life. I do not say we should calumniate or lie about them like Mr.Frum so often does towards his betters, but simply take them for the shallow, hallow and petty men that they are and hoot them away from any serious discourse.
