I have posted pieces of Peggy Noonan's editorials here before. I generally think of her opinions as encompassing Washington politics as it really is with very little political bias on her part. However there are a few num-nums that can't get past the fact that she was a political speech writer for Reagan and later penned the 1000 points of light speech.

It is for that reason that the democrats will tut-tut anything that she writes, particularly if it is critical of the idols that they fawn over. Apparently they believe that if they can't move away from their own T/A'd viewpoints then no one else is capable of doing the same.

For those who like her and more importantly - for those who don't I suggest perusing the following article in its entirety. PEGGY NOONAN (http://online.wsj.com/article/declarations.html) However it is near the bottom of the article where she states. On the pundit civil wars, Rush Limbaugh declared on the radio this week, "I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys [Mr. McCain or Mike Huckabee] get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party. It's going to change it forever, be the end of it!"

This is absurd. George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.

Hmmm - seems like Noonan doesn't have too high of an opinion of Limbaugh or GWB. - Maybe she's a closet Dem.

There are some things that most common people should really take to heart:

You can't change what happened YESTERDAY - it is over with and done at one min after midnight.

You can't control what will happen to you TOMORROW = only our Lord knows what is in store for us and worrying about it only raises your blood pressure.

YOU can ONLY control what happens within your reach TODAY! You might influance others or things further afield, but it is fleeting and unsteady at best.

ONLY the citizens of these United States can truely do anything about the state of our politics and they can only do that if they pay ATTENTION and get off their duff's about doing it!

Go see: alankeyes.com for some real truth and vision with some down to earth constitutional judgement and basis; along with a strong dose of true Godlyness.

Good grief! Your bold and oversized font and religious rant not withstanding, Keyes isn't even on the ballot.
