To be fair, Peggy borrowed this phrase from Mark Steyn.No, Reagan used this in one of his speeches during the 80s, or even before. Peggy and Mark both got it from RR.

Is it possible that she coined the phrase as one of his speechwriters? I don't have a bone to pick either way. I really do like the line and would like to give it a correct attribution. I had never heard it before.
For now, I will give it to RR.

Of course, Peggy Noonan could have written it for Reagan in the first place.
