Peggy Noonan Wants To Know . . .

WHAT WAS THE PRESIDENT THINKING???

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  2. One thing for sure, the louder the conservative uproar, the less likely the liberal scrutiny.
    AAAHHH! Who’s hands are we playing into here?
    “Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?”

  3. I think Peggy really nailed it. I esp. think that this quote is very insightful describing what happens to people when given this much power:
    “I don’t know why this is, but I think it’s connected to the fact that they’re lucky, and it seems somehow hardwired in human nature that when people are lucky they come to think they deserve it: It’s not luck, it’s virtue. And since it’s virtue my decisions are by their nature virtuous. I think I’ll decree that local government, if it judges it necessary, can throw grandma out of the house and turn her tired little neighborhood into a box store that will yield higher tax revenues. Thus Kelo v. New London is born. I decree it.”
    Mark Levin also has a good article on this at National Review Online:

    His argument is that its basically McCain’s fault for undermining the president’s authority in the Senate.
