“...the old GOP rift to assert itself, between the realists and the idealistic crusaders who, back then once again lacking a president, split over President Clinton’s humane interventions in Central Europe in his second term.”
I really despise these kinds of opinion pieces. “...the realists and the idealistic crusaders..” What crap! So, if you’re a RINO, I suppose you’re a realist; if you want to uphold the U.S.Constitution, I suppose you’re an idealistic crusader.
The U.S.Constitution set the limits of the tyranny of government, and that we, the people, consent to be governed - not the other way ‘round. I’ll take that any day over the political expediency of the so-called realists!
Bill Clinton supported Muslims against Serbian Christians. The Serbs knew Al-Qaida was abiding in camps, training terrorists. And Clinton, who is supposed to be so smart, goes and supports the wrong side!
Lovely aspirations.

“bullying dreaminess.”? Don’t think that one’s gonna catch on.
“Peggy Noonan bids adieu to the past decade and to the Bush Doctrine, to what she calls “un-Republican” conduct, aka “bullying dreaminess.”
La Noonan condemning bullying dreaminess? Isn’t that like the pot scolding the kettle for being black?
And well she should. She adds nothing to the WSJ. Let her write for the Village Voice, where her New York provincialism would be an asset.
