Ann Coulter: WHY IS RICK WAGONER FIRED AND NANCY PELOSI STILL WORKING? (Nancy and Barney Frank!)

WHY IS RICK WAGONER FIRED AND NANCY PELOSI STILL WORKING?
April 1, 2009

Apparently, it's OK for Obama to fire the head of General Motors, but Bush can't fire his own U.S. attorneys.

It is generally agreed that the Obama administration's demand that Rick Wagoner resign as chairman of General Motors is the price of GM's accepting government money.

To promote the sales of GM vehicles, Obama says the government will stand by your GM car warranty. And all the taxpayers will get a lube job. The new GM owner's manual will come with a disclaimer: "Close enough for government work."

Now that we're all agreed that the government can make hiring and firing decisions based on infusions of taxpayer money, I can think of a lot more government beneficiaries who are badly in need of firing.

Just off the top of my head, how about Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and everybody at the Department of Education?

How about firing all the former Weathermen, like Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and Mark Rudd, whose university salaries are subsidized by the taxpayer?

Nearly every university in the country accepts government money. Is there any industry in America more in need of some "restructuring" than academia? What's Berkeley's "business plan" to stop turning out graduates who hate America?

And what is Obama's justification for keeping Shirley M. Tilghman as president of Princeton University as long as Princeton employs prominent crackpot Peter Singer?

Singer, the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton's Center for Human Values, believes parents should have the right to kill newborn babies with birth defects, such as Down syndrome and hemophilia, and says there is nothing morally wrong with parents conceiving children in order to harvest them for spare parts for an older child -- or even for society to breed children on a massive scale for spare parts.

His views on these issues are so extreme I'm surprised Singer hasn't been offered a position in the Obama cabinet yet. Perhaps he paid his taxes and was disqualified.

Singer compares the black liberation movement to the liberation of apes, saying we must "extend to other species the basic principle of equality that most of us recognize should be extended to all members of our own species." (Imagine if Rush Limbaugh had said that and then go lie down for 20 minutes.)

The esteemed professor Singer also believes sex with animals is acceptable and has no objections to necrophilia -- provided the deceased gave consent when still alive. We're still waiting to hear his views on sex with dead animals. Especially me, as I have no plans for next weekend.

Doesn't a "new vision" for Princeton -- which benefits from massive taxpayer subsidies in the form of student loans and government grants -- require firing the president of Princeton? That university is clearly teetering on the brink of moral bankruptcy.

When is the government going to get around to firing 99 percent of public school superintendents? They're clearly turning out an inferior product -- i.e., America's public school graduates -- as compared to some of the foreign models now available.

Illegal aliens cost the American taxpayer more than $10 billion a year, net, in Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, free school lunches, prison, school and court costs.

And yet cities, counties and states across the nation are openly refusing to enforce federal immigration law against illegal aliens -- all while accepting billions of dollars of stimulus money on top of a litany of other federal payouts.

Shouldn't somebody be fired over this? Like maybe Geraldo Rivera?

If Obama can tell GM and Chrysler that their participation in NASCAR is an "unnecessary expenditure,"

I am under the impression that the NASCAR thing is an April Fools story. Am I mistaken, or did Ann Coulter get hoaxed on this?

You’re right. And it’s a shame too because her article is otherwise brilliant.

You mean in California, alone.

Anchor babies and their “successes” are not counted.

Case in point, our housekeeper, who is now legal via having her “anchor baby” petition for her green card...her children attend college and receive Federal, State and university aid.

They are “legal” but their parents have never paid a dime into the system until last year.

The “cost” is actually in the tens of billions in California alone. Abuse of the 14th Amendment is never included in Federal figures.

Abuse of the 14th Amendment has cost us trillions.

It was never meant to legalize criminal insurgent illegal alien colonists or their children.

I am sick of the hand-wringing and people like Feinstein, Boxer, Schwarzenegger, Lee and Obama representing me.

How do WE take our country back without an armed resistance?

They will let us be overrun by 3rd Worlders, crime and welfare to bankrupt us...when is enough?

Hey, if you can't weave a good hoax story into your narrative, how do you expect to be taken seriously by the lamestream media? Not that Ann is trying to win them over, far from it. What the heck, they already own Julie Limbaugh (who admires Ann's long hair).

A very serious step has been taken, with this insertion of elected official wisdom into the sphere of commerce and business. Even the medieval kings of England did not to presume to rule in matters outside their province. They left that for the medieval bishops.

Neither one, by the way, of whom was elected. They just kind of bullied their way into the job in those days, by guile, by force, or just simply by selecting the right parents.

Come to think of it, isn't that what just happened here? Not only has the now failing nascent obama regime taken on the mantle of "king", they are also "bishop" as well.

We are SO screwed.

With his dem/liberal/shady/criminal credentials I’m surprised Present Obama hasn’t recruited him for a cabinet position.

Is it not interesting, though, that even savvy people were taken in by the April Fool’s Joke? None of us have any difficulty believing Zero would really do this to NASCAR.

This is a great interview.

This was the first time I’ve ever been allowed to hear Ann speak at length without being interrupted and be questioned by someone who has actually read her books.

No one else does the double insult as well as Ann. Everyone gets smacked: Obama (twice) and Singer.

Why can I only think of the color purple now???

And a great closing line from Ann as well:

“Capitalism has its own methods of clearing out dead wood, which the government keeps preventing by forcing the taxpayer to bail out capitalism’s losers. “

Good Catch.

C & D has some brilliant writers.

I remember one letter to the editor, where some woman angrily complained about the mag using women as sexual objects in their articles and advertising. She raged on for a few paragraphs and they printed it all. She finished up by ordering them to cancel her subscription and send her the balance in cash “immediately.”

The C & D response was good: “Gee, does that mean we have to send back the keys to the apartment as well?”

Brack didn’t say GM and Chrysler can’t participate in NASCAR, just that it’s an unecessary expediture (I think).

Of course you know he’s thinking about it.

I’m surprised Hollywood hasn’t made a movie about Singer and his “bravery” and “integrity” yet.
