Etta Mae Commentary
Ms Noonan is plain mean and thinks she is being clever. Anyone can made crude and crass remarks. It takes someone with a soul and scruples and intelligence to say something of meaning. She was raised Irish Catholic. The Nuns would not have tolerated those words, nor the Monsignor, and most definitely not her mother or the women of the parish.
How can one so self-deceive? How much does one loathe oneself to daily destroy with ones words to feel better? The enlightened person stops the cycle. The empathetic and kind person understands the destroying and diminishing power of rage and the humiliation of corporal punishment. And a true Catholic would never willingly destroy another---whether once or whether for thirty years.
Ones words will forever stand as a measure of ones integrity as a journalist and ones humanity as a woman.
Inflicted-rage remains within, as does the self-loathing, until kindness intervenes, and kindness in an intentional act.
May Good Lord have Mercy on her soul.

Hey Mrs Etta Mae. Good to hear from you over hear. I haven't bothered with Newsweek anymore. The level of hate is rivaled only by the ignorance. Great job with this. She is an EXTREMELY ANGRY & JEALOUS person. She was stuck as a woman writing speeches for a man president and couldn't bear a woman becoming president before her. A woman with that command of the language prefers to attack people like a teenage girl on her blog. She must not care about her legacy. because right now it's in the toilet with the Hillary toilet brush trying to clean her mouth out. Something the nuns must not have done enough of.
i'd be accused of sexism but I can tell you what this woman needs. it's all over her face.
Who is this Peggy Noonan?
This is thought provoking, Etta Mae. Thank you. I like the kindness sentence. I hope you have more posts here. It is very refreshing to not hear so much hate when talking about the political situation. I find Mr Obama supporters to be uniformly rude and disrespectful. I am not sure how that is going to win him votes. It hasn't worked so far.
He and his supporters continue to disrespect Senator and Mr Clinton, and until he stops, I will not vote for him. Respect is what wins my vote, and right now the only one I will vote for is Senator Clinton. She deserves my vote, and I am giving it to her. I voted for Mr Clinton and I remember very well the prosperity of his presidency. Morality should be judged by the Lord only. Mr Jefferson owned slaves while he wrote in the Declaration of Independence that all mean are created equal.
A young man trying to take over the party and win the presidency should start by getting counsel from previous Democratic presidents. Mr Obama waited months to call Mr Clinton, once saying he was too busy to call. Well, guess what? A phone call takes little physical effort other than swallowing his pride. He cannot do that for me as a loyal democrat, who has voted for 50 years, then why would I spend three hours on two different buses to vote for him?
He has not earned those three hours, nor does it appear he cares or ever will. Senator Clinton has earned it with her three decades of public service, only to be cast aside and labeled a racist by a man who pretends to transcend race. I saw that pompous interview where he was certain he would get Senator Clinton's vote, but he stated arrogantly that she wouldn't be able to get his. Well, guess what? He was wrong as the polls are indicating.
And Mr Biden over Senator Clinton? That was the defining moment for me. That is when I saw who Mr Obama really is and why he is running for president. He wants to make history as the first black president. He is not interested in becoming the people's president who happens to be black. He chose pride and showed extreme insecurity in his manhood by picking an elderly man, who has been in Washington for 36 years. He was afraid to be challenged by a woman clearly more intelligent and powerful than him. Book smarts don't translate to action, and judgment cannot be claimed for something that had no consequences. I am speaking of his Iraq fairy tale. It is a complete mirage that people have said is the only reason they voted for him over Senator Clinton. He never had a vote and he has never made it clear to the voters. Mr Obama lied about his change message. He used that only as a mantra against Senator Clinton, because what else had he?
He was unable to put his country first like Mr McCain has proven with a pound of his flesh and Senator Clinton has proven by being impervious to the misogynists who are much less powerful than her. Men who will always be inferior to her, starting with the media. Their fawning over Mr Obama is unnatural. As a mature woman, I find it reminiscent of a certain other egomania with a Messiah Complex who had a personal agenda and the media spewing propaganda on his behalf.
What has Mr Obama done for his country? Instead of talking to American citizens, he went on a celebrity cruise of the world and refused to see our injured and maimed troops, suffering on foreign soil without the succor of their family. How did they feel when the potential president of the United States didn't have time for them as they lay in their bed? What are they to think of the very man who will soon have the absolute authority to send them back into battle?
How can anyone respect this man in any fashion after that? Especially when he hasn't admitted he was wrong and that it had nothing to do with the Pentagon. Who can possibly believe that the Pentagon would keep anyone away from visiting our troops? No matter what - would Mr McCain had been kept away? That's putting country first in a concrete way and not just spouting meaningless rhetoric.
Mr Obama had the audacity to mention a fallen hero to even the score during the debate. The brave man's family had told him not to use it as a statement on the war. Mr Obama did what he always does: he chose political expedience. He didn't even know the brave young man's name. He had to look at his wristband. It was sad to watch and even sadder knowing the family was watching and then was hounded by the shamelessly biased media.
How could Mr Obama have been wearing it everyday? And if he had been, how much does he really care about that young man and his family?
