I never thought that I would ever in a million years, find myself in agreement with this woman. However, because I am a Paleo-Conservative, A lover of American history and a respecter of old fashioned American values, this one stuck a cord with me.

I weigh this in favor of the Old America. Hard not to, for I remember it, and its sterling virtues. Maybe if you are 25 years old, your sense of the Old and New is different. In the Old America they were not enlightened about race and sex; they accepted grim factory lines and couldn’t even begin to imagine the Internet. Fair enough. But I suspect the political playing out of a long-ongoing cultural and societal shift is part of the dynamic this year.
As to its implications for the race, we’ll see. America is always looking forward, not back, it is always in search of the fresh and leaving the tried. That’s how we started: We left tired old Europe and came to the new place, we settled the east and pushed West to the new place. We like new. It’s in our genes. Hope we know where we’re going, though. Brave New World? By Peggy Noonan (Via WSJ.com)
Peggy has this amazing ability to conjure up some amazing images in one’s mind. I also remember the old school values, that people like my Grandfather and his Brother, on my mother’s side, stood for.
However, it amazes me, how feckless liberals will take something, as well written as this and turn it into something that it was never intended to be. Do you see know why I left those circles for good?
She also said much of what I blogged about earlier. Except she said it much nicer than I. Peggy is the demure sweet person, who’s writings never lowers itself to the level of brutality. However, I am the one in the back alley with the chain and the rock. Swinging wildly at whomever crosses my path. I admire her style and only wish I could obtain her level of writing.
I mean, the woman wrote for Reagan, what else can I say?
Good one Peggy and don’t allow the idiot liberals get you down.
