He was accurate on this as well: Especially over the past five years, an inordinate number of her columns have reflected a were going to hell in a hand basket sentiment that I find tiresome and, more importantly, wrong

Not sure I quite agree overall, but I WILL say I’m starting get a whiff of that “getting loopy and a little lefty in her old age” smell that Goldwater wafted out in HIS dotage.

Peggy Noonan suffers from a disease of the ego that also afflicts certain posters on FR.
In her mind, she is a "true conservative" and her opinions and feelings aren't really her opinions and feelings - they are the opinions and feelings that any "true conservative" is supposed to have.
Anyone who disagrees with her or, worse, is not animated by the same emotional reactions as she is, is a "fake conservative" or a "neocon" or a "Bushbot" or whatever childish insult that crosses her mind.
In her personal mythology America was only doing well when her opinions were in vogue, and now that they aren't, all will inevitably be lost.
Narcissism masquerading as political philosophy.

I have for a long time thought it is well past the time for Peggy to retire and focus on playing bridge and shuffle board. Her writing is steeped in ‘the good ole days’ and is, overall, totally mundane and boring. More along, dear, and give another commentator the space.
