An "A" for Honesty

Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day.....

From last weekend's Wall Street Journal (10-20/21/07), wisdom, from the mouth of Peggy Noonan (Sex and the Presidency.)

In a column on Hillary Clinton, she mentions the unfortunate fact that women are still patronized by men in some corners. But in a stroke for her demure readers, she says "(c)onservative women tend not to talk about it." Several paragraphs earlier she mentions the ladylike Jackie Kennedy, and we can assume that, although Jackie happened to be a Democrat, Noonan is imputing the same refinement to her conservative ladies.

Now for the truth.

"They [conservative women] don't go public with their complaints because they're afraid it will encourage liberals to pass a law, and if you wanted more laws, or thought laws could reform human nature and make us all nice, you wouldn't be a conservative."

They know better. Truer words were never spake.
