You know, I really do think that Peggy Noonan should use illustrations, (pictures!), with her columns so you folks might then be capable of grasping an iota of what she's trying to convey.
Another FR thread that delineates the dissimilar mindsets of conservatives and Republicans.
She's so much more intelligent than all of us, I'm not sure pictures would suffice to lat us in on her wisdom-- maybe if she can't do it with words she should retire her pen. I think the problem is that she is not a real conservative, like many politicians she is trying to be liked by everyone.
When she makes it obvious in her column that she does not find demagoguing a current President by an ex-President and others at a funeral is inappropriate behavior, those of us who find such behavior repugnant will not like said column.
