Alabama Women, Say No to Roy Moore

Alabama has its back up, or at least its Republicans and conservatives do, and it’s understandable. They don’t like when Northerners and liberals and people in Washington tell them who their senator should be. They don’t like when reporters from outside come down and ask questions and turn over rocks looking for what’s crawling on the underside. There’s always an underside. Man is made from crooked timber.

People from the Deep South feel culturally patronized. This is because they are. Reporters from outside don’t admire or relate to them; when a Washington Post journalist presented as fact, in a 1993 news report, that evangelical Christians are “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command,” you know he was thinking of Southern evangelicals. Hollywood has long cast Southerners as witless and brutish in films from “Inherit the Wind” to “Deliverance” and “Mississippi Burning.”

Politically, Southern conservatives have long decried a double standard. Ted Kennedy spent much of his life as a somewhat inebriated roué whose actions caused the death of a young woman, but now we’re instructed to call him the Lion of the Senate. Bill Clinton was worse than Roy Moore. Mr. Clinton was accused of rape, harassment and exposing himself, but his party backed him and he kept the presidency. Democratic Sen. Al Franken was credibly accused Thursday, by an anchor at KABC radio in Los Angeles, of groping and harassing her on a USO tour in 2006. When she resisted him, Leeann Tweeden wrote, “Franken repaid me with petty insults,” and took an obscene photo of her on the way home, as she slept. Will the liberal media dig into Mr. Franken as they have dug into Mr. Moore? Or is he too good a source and friend?

...her superb written communications skills.

True, a virtuoso writer, a bit like the famous violinist Niccolò Paganini. But some said Paganini became great because he sold his soul to the Devil.

Peggy Noonan became famous writing speeches for Reagan. But if Reagan treasured a nation ruled by We The People, how could Noonan betray that cause by becoming a defender of the corporatist elite and oligarchy?

She's a traitor. She is using her former privileged access to Reagan to destroy Reagan's legacy.

The greatest living speechwriter today works for President Trump. He's Stephen Miller, a patriot and active advocate for the MAGA cause, -- a man who lives the noble phrases and ideas he puts down on paper.

So I raise my Thanksgiving wine glass to Mr. Miller! May you live long and prosper, Sir!

I guess you KNOW that Peggy Noonan has been a BIG "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" SUPPORTER ever since she worked with the first Bush.

" ... while working for then Vice President George H. W. Bush, Noonan coined the phrase "a kinder, gentler nation" and also popularized "a thousand points of light," two memorable catchphrases used by Bush. Noonan also wrote the speech in which Bush pledged: "Read my lips: no new taxes" during his 1988 presidential nomination acceptance speech in New Orleans (Bush's subsequent reversal of this pledge is often cited as a reason for his defeat in his 1992 re-election campaign). ... "

Other examples of Noonan's lack of conservatism:

" ... During the 2008 presidential campaign, Noonan wrote about Sarah Palin's vice presidential candidacy in the Wall Street Journal. In one opinion piece, Noonan expressed her view that Palin did not demonstrate "the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office," concluding that Palin's candidacy marked a "vulgarization in American Politics" that is "no good... for conservatism... [or] the country."[7] Such commentary resulted in a backlash from many conservatives.[8] In the 2012 presidential campaign, in the days prior to the November election, she expressed optimism for a Mitt Romney victory over Barack Obama because she said she saw happy faces and optimism among Republicans. Noonan is now an author, a columnist for The Wall Street Journal, and a commentator on several news shows, including CNN, where she has distanced herself from conservative Republicans and President Donald Trump's presidency, representing the moderate Republican opposition's point of view, rather than conservative. She sits on the committees and one of the founding members of wowOwow.com, along with Liz Smith, Lesley Stahl, Mary Wells Lawrence, and Joni Evans.

And you thought Peggy Noonan was a conservative ? ? ?
