Noonan’s waking up but still doesn’t fully ‘get it’. We aren’t disheartened. We want the usurpers out.
Rush Limbaugh commented on this article in today’s (Friday) show and said that disheartened is not a good term. Rush said that Americans are ANGRY. Now that is far more descriptive and I think Rush is right.
And you, Peggy, were just giddy to see him installed.
I can understand why she feels guilty .
No wonder she supported Obama.
Peggy, too late, too little. We don’t have time to wait for you to catch up. Enjoy stupid, you seem to be stuck there.
Sarah....Told'ya.....So.
Read my tagline.
Maybe you are "governed", Peggy, but I'm not.
I have nothing to do with those scumbags and I won't let them touch me.
Palpable nonsense, of course.
Imagination won't get us out of our financial mess.
Principled adherence to sound, and proven conservative policies will do that (but it will take time, discipline, and it will take the Peggy Noonan's of the press to admit they were WRONG about Mister Obama and his Marxist goals.)
And, nobody's holding his breath waiting for Ms. Noonan to deprogram herself from her post-menopausal crush on Marxist Obama.
.
The problem, Peggy, is that for 8 decades the Democrats have been rushing to the Left. They control the MSM, education, pop culture and a large part of the church. The Republicans, desperate to compete, got caught in their wake and followed behind them.
Now we find ourselves as a nation with a Soviet-style authoritarian government coming to power. Those who love what America has been and remained through her various inner and external conflicts, no longer have a party they can turn to. It truly has become “us” (liberty-loving patriots) against “them” (statists/totalitarians/communists/socialists).
We also have alternative communication (the Internet) where many experts who would never have had a voice 20 years ago now analyze and state their opinions. Those who care about what is happening are intelligent enough to weed out the truly objective, knowledgeable bloggers from those just seeking recognition. Those experts are spreading the truth about where we are economically.
We also have talk radio and Glenn Beck's program spreading that truth.
And it really isn't that hard to understand.
Our economic system (controlled by a socialist, central bank we call the Federal Reserve), has done exactly what they always planned to do, which is the exact opposite of their stated mission. They planned on stripping of America and Americans of their wealth, stealing that wealth for themselves, while at the same time weakening America as a nation by destroying the middle class.
Their goal has been the same as the totalitarians that now run the government: a two-tier social structure with the rulers and the serfs.
And THAT, Peggy, is the despair that Americans feel. We feel that we are about to lose and that not only America but all the world is about to be cast into a new Dark Ages where the overlords oppress the serfs for their own benefit and crush their spirits so that they no longer desire liberty.
But Peggy. There is something you should know. You are only seeing the despair. And the tone of your article is almost pathetic because it displays how you are only viewing the situation out of one eye.
True Americans will not “go gently into that good night.”
This could get very, very ugly before the Dark Ages.
That should alarm you far more than despair, which is actually a last glimmer of hope before people believe they have absolutely nothing left to lose.
I pray it doesn't come to that. Because that would be all the totalitarians needed to say, “it's time to stop handling them with kid gloves,” and to crush us violently.
I pray it doesn't come to this, but history yells at us from the dark abyss of the past that this is often the course of human action.
Your time to wake up was over a year ago, when you chose instead to use your column to trash a much, much better and more sensible woman.
While you were on your knee-pads before the Kenyan-born communist muslim usurper, we were trying to tell you what a huge mistake you were making, but you would not listen.
You didn't just betray the Republican party; you betrayed the whole country. And now, because of you and other people like you, the country is in great peril.
Is there really any nicer way to tell you this?
I thought Peggy had been busy taking sculpting lessons so she could sculpt a nice bust of Zero.
Who knew that she still picked up a crayon and attempted to assemble coherent sentences?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Who has ever had any reason to have confidence in "The Experts"? Month after month after month (ad infinitum), the newsholes begin their economic reports with, "the number of job losses was higher/lower than experts predicted", "the number of new housing start-ups was higher/lower than experts predicted", "the rate of growth was higher/lower than experts predicted", etc.
I don't think I've ever heard one single report begin with, "the experts were spot on".
Retire, Peggy. It's time.
Oh yeah. she's the one who was kissing Obama's ass and praising him about a year ago.
Ronald Reagan would be so disappointed with her!
Peggy who?
Don’t know her any more.

Even though she’s unbelievable slow at seeing the obvious, it’s still a good thing she has come around. Her description of people in government, especially the Barney Franks of the world, is priceless: callous children. That is indeed what they are — that’s what liberalism is and when it graduates to Communism it’s callous tyrannical children whos steal your freedom and liberty and wealth.
So you are starting to get the big picture that was so obvious to true conservatives well before November 4, 2008.
But you still are missing the point. It's not that Americans are "disheartened." That may be what your executive friends feel. That's not what the ordinary citizen is believes.
We see that we are becoming disenfranchised. The political powers trying to take away our constitutional right to the pursuit of happiness by controlling every aspect of our lives. We are angry. We're angry at Democrats for pushing this agenda and we distrust Republicans for taking the payoff over the last 12 years and letting this socialism slide by.
We know that government has stopped trying to represent us and has begun trying to control us.
When the American people feel disheartened and distrust their government, political turmoil and upheaval is almost certain. That's they way it was in 1976 and that's the way it is today.
