Not a Bad Time to Take Stock
January 23, 2006
As a conservative, I usually like to read Peggy Noonan. After observing the struggles the Democrats are having in getting their political act together, she offers some needed advice to The Republicans.
Republicans in Washington struggle with scandal and speak of reform, and reformation. They would better think of words like regain, refresh, rebuild. If they don’t, if Republicans don’t choose to lead well, and seriously, and with principle, they should ask themselves: Who will? Seriously: Who will?
How can anyone not be disillusioned, even sickened, by the grandstanding of many of our congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle? The Alito hearings were a case in point. I hope we are not seeing the first signs of the disintegration of our political system. If we are, I hope our grandchildren are made of sterner stuff than we are.
Dave, still hopeful in spite of the evidence.
