You once admired Peggy Noonan? Well - maybe that was partly your fault. She helped Reagan sell out conservativism in the 1980s - pretending far left domestic policy to be grounded in conservative principles.

I once admired what I considered to be good columns and from what I perceived to be someone with Conservative Credentials.
At this point Peggy is living off the past and has been from her association with Ronald Reagan. Reagan was one guy and he fought the good fight. Hindsight on some things is 20/20 but in the Big Picture of things Reagan did a great job and was an outstanding president.
We are where we are now and the great opportunity that was George Bush's with a Republican Congress were blown. It was a once in hundred year time that may not ever come again and Bush blew it. For that one shining moment we could practiced what we had been preaching, smaller government, less taxes, etc. and it didn't get done.
What else is there to say???????????????
