Peggy Noonan is on fire this morning. A sample:
What is most missing from the left in America is an
element of grace—of civic grace, democratic grace, the kind that

missing is the courage to ask a question. Conservatives these days
are asking themselves very many questions, but I wonder if the left
could tolerate asking itself even a few. Such as: Why are we
producing so many adherents who defy the old liberal virtues of
free and open inquiry, free and open speech? Why are we producing
so many bullies? And dim dullard ones, at that.
