And out-of-touch leaders don't see the need to cool things off.
It is, obviously, self-referential to quote yourself, but I do it to make a point. I wrote the following on New Year's day, 1994. America 16 years ago was a relatively content nation, though full of political sparks: 10 months later the Republicans would take the House for the first time in 40 years. But beneath all the action was, I thought, a coming unease. Something inside was telling us we were living through "not the placid dawn of a peaceful age but the illusory calm before stern storms."

It’s just one long article trying to lower expectations. They know things are not working out, but they will never admit it’s due to their socialist ideas. So they say get use to it.
I feel the sincerity or maybe it's a growing fear I sense. Most Americans today "on the ground" are experiencing the same fear, the same growing sense of dread that the politicians have waged war on the people, that they won't stop their destructive ways until they're forced to stop.
We don't have any real idea how it will play out, we hope to turn it around with our ballots in Nov. but I think Peggy, like most of us, sees that the government doesn't care, doesn't have the same sense of impending doom. I think she sees the futility of trying to tell them. I think she's sincere and afraid.
No . . . It's not Obama.
Lord I'm so tired of that old strawman argument, it's called self deportation Peggy. If Peggy's gotten that soft in the head, maybe it's time for her to retire.
Peggy cares more about turning a deathless phrase than making sense.
I don’t believe you’ve asked that question.
It’s obvious.
Something inside was telling us we were living through "not the placid dawn of a peaceful age but the illusory calm before stern storms."
I notice she didn't provide a link or source to prove this.
Oh, it's Peggy "see I was right 16 years ago" Noonan.
I cannot read more than a few paragraphs her wordy, unctuous tripe.

He may have drifted a little but he started on the topic.
Wow, I didn’t know that posting a thread meant one owned it.
Maybe I’ll post a thread and lay down the law. Might be fun.
Drifted a little?
He uses any excuse to post his ramblings.
What an excellent post! Bravo to Mr Prager!
Thank you!
We have lost control of our judiciary and we need to do whatever it takes to get it back. State after state, with sizable margins, has passed referendums against gay marriage, and Congress passed the Defense Of Marriage Act. And yet the discussion all week has been that this will be decided by an evenly divided Supreme Court with Kennedy being the swing vote.
Why are so few people getting to make these decisions, while completely ignoring the will of an overwhelming majority?
Since when does a single judge from a liberal area get to make sweeping cultural changes?
The states need to reassert dominance over the feds. The Governors and States Attorneys General will need to lead this fight.
And Congress needs to reign in the Judicial branch.
I believe you are smart, but the fact that you were taken in by someone as obviously sophomoric as Obama makes us wonder when and why you stopped being yourself. Wake up.
Its somewhat encouraging to see hand-wringing on the part of RINOS and DEMS; they are all late to the party but may well help sway the spineless MOR fence-sitters.
Any break in the MSM dike is welcome. ( I’m trying to fit as many acronyms in as I can!)
We have to get them to this point before we push them to realize you can “repatriate” 12 million illegals humanely with enough common will.
Think of the job opportunities....
I just ignore posts like that.
Admit it, you got a little testy and sounded like Miss I Won.
It’s okay, but watch it, we’re a cranky crowd.
At RISK of boiling over?????? How about boiling over period!!!
On top of ALL the other outrages, like death panels, after being lied to about them, how about paying about 500k to 1M for Michelle Antoinette effing Obama to go to Spain! The Witch thinks she was just elected queen!
Far as I’m concerned we shouldn’t even pay for her to go to the GD garbage dump.
I’m not so sure they have any intention of ever leaving the WH due to a technicality like “stupid elections”. These people have the mindset of all left wing dictators throughout history...lie to the voters, get in power, destroy everyone impeding your path, shower yourself with the spoils until you die - one way or the other.
Testy? It was a very simple sentence.
When one ignores, nothing changes.
I've listened to Dennis Prager for years.
I admire his wisdom and his reasoning and his gift of explanation.
