As Michael Reagan wrote shortly after the RNC, Sarah Palin is the best living embodiment of the Ronald Reagan legacy.
That is not to say she and RR see every issue the same way, but she alone among contemporary politicians represents so many of the same values AND can excite - inspire - lead in ways that other conservatives cannot (through no fault of their own). Palin has rare political, leadership, and communication gifts that come along once in a generation at best. She alone gives us hope of a resurgence of conservatism.
Peggy Noonan’s delusional attacks on Governor Palin have BETRAYED the Reagan legacy.
The reason that Noonan, Parker, and Christopher Buckley are becoming widely despised is that they are working to destroy the best bright hope that has come along in the past 20 years. All because Palin does not meet their sniffy, stuffy, pretentious “standards” of what they consider most respectable.
Well guess what, turncoat morons, Ronald Reagan went to an unknown little midwestern college and worked a career as an ACTOR before he succeeded so brilliantly in politics. He was always sneered at in the same ways that Noonan-Parker-Buckley are sneering at Palin.
It is absolutely disgusting that supposedly conservative chatterbox writers are serving the Demagogues’ agenda of tearing down Palin.
Noonan, Parker, Buckley and their pretentious ilk are dead to me — I will never care about their bogus opinions about anything. They are on the side of the snivelling traitor class of left-wing Demagogues, no matter what their past positions or claims of “conservatism” might indicate.
clarification: when I said “through no fault of their own” above I was referring solely to communication gifts that seem to be beyond teaching or practice (though practice can anyone communicate better). OF COURSE many so-called conservative leaders can be blamed for egregious failures to stay true to conservative principles. I meant only that it’s hard to see anyone else on the scene now who could have anything like the impact Governor Palin is having, no matter how hard they might try.....
