www2.ocregister.com My local Libertarian Editorialist for the OC Register here in CA spent a whole column on this ending up calling it "intimidation" and "policing their own". Then he writes this as the conclusion. "It's a stated attempt by self-styled conservatives to "police their own," much in the way that National Review once booted acolytes of Ayn Rand and John Birch out of their movement. But these conservatives have little sway anymore, and most libertarians and anti-war conservatives would be far more likely to kick David Frum in the rump than sulk away in tears at the sight of his backside." My bone of contention with him was a simpler matter to which he replied "the men and women of the armed forces were big boys and girls and could take some debate about the right or wrong of our efforts in Iraq." Yes, I replied, and without a lot of whining.
