Did Peggy Noonan complain about Madonna and Britney?

[elfs]

So, I'm reading through the news, and I see this from Peggy Noonan:

It is one thing to grouse that dreadful people who don't care about us control our economy, but another, and in a way more personal, thing to say that people who don't care about us control our culture. In 2009 this was perhaps most vividly expressed in the Adam Lambert Problem. Mr. Lambert's act left viewers feeling not just offended but assaulted.... It cannot be exaggerated, how much Americans feel besieged by the culture of their own country, and to what lengths they have to go to protect their children from it.

Jesus Fucking Your Christ, Ma'am, but did you ever think that maybe you ought to turn off the channel?

Don't give them the oxygen of your viewership and you won't have to watch it. If enough people do that the entire thing will collapse and you can stop worry about it entirely.

Peggy Noonan's Christianist Culture Warriorship and the Invisible Hand are at war, have been at war, and will always be at war. You cannot be a Christian Conservative and a Free Market Capitalist, the two are mutually incompatible. Because the Free Market will inevitably shift to give the people what they want, and what they want is often sleazy, sexy, and inappropriate for small children.

Whatever happened to Ms. Noonan's personal responsibility?

Being a Christian Conservative and personal responsibility are likewise mutually incompatible. It seems they desire no greater pleasure than forcing their morality on other people.

Either that or everyone is in politics for the express purpose of obtaining power?

Well that is the point of politics. Its what you do with the power after you have it is what truly matters.
