Mainly because I'm a Reagan hater, I don't particularly like Peggy Noonan. This recent article by her on the President's speech reminded me of why I find paleoconservatives offensive, refer to:

I actually agree with her that there was "too much God" in the President's speech. When I hear a politician mention the word "God", I think "demagogue". Reagan sometimes pushed the "God button" when he was selling his brand of snake oil. No doubt, Noonan made good use of the word when she wrote Reagan's speeches. The rest of Noonan's cynical analysis of President Bush's speech showed a breath taking hypocrisy. I believe the politician who eventually terminates democracy in America will be a "Ronald Reagan with brains". More than likely, this future politician's speech writer will be someone like Peggy Noonan.
