Maybe she should take up writing romance novels.

And out-of-touch leaders don't see the need to cool things off.
It is, obviously, self-referential to quote yourself, but I do it to make a point. I wrote the following on New Year's day, 1994. America 16 years ago was a relatively content nation, though full of political sparks: 10 months later the Republicans would take the House for the first time in 40 years. But beneath all the action was, I thought, a coming unease. Something inside was telling us we were living through "not the placid dawn of a peaceful age but the illusory calm before stern storms."

Peggy Noonan is riding both sides of the fence. I for one am sick of it. She shilled for Der Leader in 2008 so she’s got no right to complain. Or congratulate herself.
Peggy’s absolutely RIGHT here — too bad she’s JUST seeing it. About 3 years too late.
That’s what having yer head shoved so far up, er, somewhere ya can’t see the sun will do to ya there Peg....
These people, including all the political cheerleaders and groupies have not the slightest clue...
She backed the wrong horse!!
Screeeeeeeech....This is where Noonen loses it...
Start deporting several hundred thousand every few months...It would be easy....We can move tens of millions every few months on airlines and buses, so we could certainly move several hundred thousand illegals out of here every few months with ease....Those that try to reenter, will be building new tents city prisons on the borders, and they will be used to build and complete super walls like the Israelis build on their borders...
The fixes are easy.
"But I've never seen the gap wider than it is now. I think it is a chasm. In Washington they don't seem to be looking around and thinking, Hmmm, this nation is in trouble, it needs help. They're thinking something else. I'm not sure they understand the American Dream itself needs a boost, needs encouragement and protection. They don't seem to know or have a sense of the mood of the country.
It's the same exact reason why we went to war with Britain a few years back.
I notice folks like Hannity and Gingrich are starting to talk like this too.
There’s an election on. Gotta talk the talk the talk...or at least a close facsimile therof...doncha know...
A vast majority of the American people are screaming, “STOP! SLOW DOWN!” And the vast majority of the elected officials are not listening to the people who elected them, and they simply don’t care.
This is an excellent article. I love Peggy’s talent with words.
The productive will no longer support the parasites.
The urban welfare class and their Liberal/socialist enablers
have abused the rest of America for far too long.
“Inner pessimism and powerlessness: That is a dangerous combination.”
American citizens bough at least 80% as much small arms ammunition as did the US military. In only the mind of a Big Sh*tty MediaPerson would Americans be considered “powerless”.
Maybe she should take up writing romance novels.
LOL...yeah. During wartime.
I can't think of anyone with a better writing style and way with words than Peggy Noonan. Her words just flow and read so easily. That's my point.
The 0bama Regime is instigating a "boiling over", IMHO.
And the state controlled media is dutifully following orders, promoting their agenda.
No accounting for taste I guess.
But then, you like Mitt Romney, the most liberal Governor in the history of the known universe, so...
I completely agree. I always enjoy reading her.
Unfortunately, there are a lot freepers who simply won't tolerate certain pundits coloring outside the lines. It's borderline treason. I think some people overvalue her leverage on political discourse.
She doesn't influence my core conservative foundation, but her unique perspective and melodic language make her an enjoyable read.
Peggy Noonan (born Margaret Ellen Noonan on September 7, 1950, in Brooklyn, New York)
I lost all respect for Peggy Noonan in 2008. She can kiss my butt on both sides.
In the end however she states we would never deport illegals so she sort of gets it but fails once more.
here is an example:
