It's not admiration of others for Bush that bothers me. It's slavish devotion to the point of insulting those who would dare criticize him.
What you label 'slavish devotion' may well be reaction to the constant need to defend against those on this forum who attack everything the President does, regardless of any merit in the criticism.
I, for one, disagree with things the President has done and some of his policies, but have been accused of being a kool-aid drinking, blind follower by many (who don't have a clue as to what they're talking about) who use that as a first defense against one with whom they disagree.
Perhaps if you'd avoid the name calling, people would accept your opinion, and discuss it rationally. It is a valid opinion to agree with Peggy Noonan here. It is not a valid opinion that those who don't are all blind slaves.
Actually, the problem with Peggy is that she raved about the speech immediately after it was given, and then began to rag on it a few hours later, and in this column.
One or the other opinion is disingenuos, and I, for one, think it's this one. IMO, she's trying to appease someone by her complete reversal of viewpoint, as written in this column.
