In her original article, Peggy Noonan never mentioned Rooty, this piece has been skewed to help Rooty. Shameless.
The article uses Noonan’s article to rebut Bush’s losing our souls comment, and then the author suggests a different solution to the problem than Noonan’s, which is that to regain clout and not be taken for granted by the Republcan party is to form a party-less coaltion of conservatives.
Bush’s quotes and Noonan’s quotes are indented. The author’s thoughts are not. This is standard formatting for citations.
This is not a Peggy Noonan article. I can’t identify an author. Vanity?
