[what's up]

I have never liked Noonan's fluffy, airy, style of writing.

However, in this one she has taken out a lot of the fat and is telling it more like it is.

This one's pretty good.

I am constantly amazed. A conservative values the individual. Values individual thought. Individual opinion.
Yet have another conservative stray off the Party reservation and the howling begins. Not at all dissimilar to the dogmatics of the left.

You don't have to agree with anything Peggy Noonan writes. You don't have to like her style. But the lady surely does have style.

A Peggy Noonan column is never going to be mistaken for anyone else's. And she always makes her point. Her a point. And it is always reasoned. Individually.

I think she may be a conservative. An actual one.
