Ann Coulter made a guest appearance on The View to promote her latest book Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole. Since Coulter has built an entire career on the shock value of her political opinions, it is not surprising that this interview was filled with controversial statements about immigrants, and a questionable presentation of United States history.
A couple minutes into the interview, host Ana Navarro challenged Coulter’s views about immigrants by asking if her family immigrated to America. Coulter responded to Navarro’s question by stating that she is actually a Native American because she descended from the early settlers who founded the United States.

Why not, precisely? Native indians were settlers as well.
It is only a matter of years, not intent or purpose.
My English direct paternal line was in St. Marys City, MD from 1660 to 1698, from there to Fairfax County, VA up to the late 1760’s, then they came here to NC.
I grew up with some Hicks in southern MD.
YAY! ME too.
They’re everywhere, but just try to do genealogical research on them, lol.
So anchor babies are legitimate?
And in renouncing their Swiss ancestry they embraced their Germanic future!
From encyclopedia Brittanica:
“George III was the son of Frederick Louis, prince of Wales, and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha.”
He married a german Princess.
“Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (born May 19, 1744—died Nov. 17, 1818), queen consort of George III of England. In 1761 she was selected unseen after the British king asked for a review of all eligible German Protestant princesses.”
What’s wrong. Ann identifies with being a Native American. Who’s to say she is wrong. After all, isn’t that the Liberal mantra: “Be who you think you are; not what you really are”.
I was certain that you were also a distant cousin to Johnny Appleseed. ;)
There is a possibility. John Chapman wandered around in Indiana and Kentucky where a lot of my ancestors hung out. It is entirely possible is a cousin. I don't recall any Chapman's in our family though, but who knows where all of my paternal ancestors spent the night with farmers' daughters? And there were plenty of my ancestors who were dotty enough to go around with a pot on their heads. . .
I am related to some other personages in American history, such as Christopher "Kit" Carson, Daniel Boone, and Alexander Graham Bell.
My good old Great-Great-great, etc for seven times more, would have made a Great Damnocrat. One of the stories about him is told about how there was a free-thinker on the outskirts of town that some thought was a bad influence on the young people of the township, giving them bad ideas about thinking for themselves.
It seems that Good old Gov'nor Endicott couldn't get the guy to come into town to be braced about being a reprobate and submitting to being put into the stocks as punishment. He smartly refused to come out of his cabin to discuss submitting to being punished, old reprobate that he was. So Gov'nor Grampa Endicott approached him under a flag of truce, promising to not put him in the stocks if only he would come out and discuss his misbehavior. . . and when the fellow trusted Gramps, the trustworthy Gov'nor had one of his soldiers sneak around behind his back and torched his cabin! Then they grabbed the poor old reprobate and stuck in the stocks for two weeks! THEN, the road him out of town on a rail! Nice guy, my ancestor!
Wrong tribe in this area. But I was thinking about saying I had wanted to grow some asparagus in my window box and had been discriminated against by an official at the Department of Agriculture when I asked for a loan. . . and make a claim for a $50,000 Pigford settlement which includes Native Americans!
So how is it that Aboriginal occupants of these two continental landmasses and the various Islands in the area between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean came to be called after the FIRST NAME of an obscure Italian Clerk in the Medici mercantile empire that later became a name on a map that he did not even draw, based on some letters describing voyages he may not have had much to do with? By rights, they and we should be Native Columbians. . . but instead, a Johnny-come-lately, probable FRAUD, got his name put on two sevenths of the world's continents!
Four voyages between 1497 to 1504 to the "indies" were attributed to Vespucci, but it is now thought that only the third voyage in 1501-02 was actually made with him aboard where the mouth of the Amazon was discovered. However, Vespucci was never the leader of any of these voyages. . . and there simply was not enough time for all of them to take place, along with the other events he wrote about in the two letters he supposedly wrote which were attributed to him that resulted in the map Novus Mundi on which the Map maker named the two new continents Amerige after a feminized, Latinized version of Vespucci's first name to spite Columbus who was not considered a popular person at the time, having been arrested and brought back to Spain in chains.
So, perhaps we should be calling the Aboriginal ancestral inhabitants Descendants of Pre-Columbian Continental Occupants? There, I think I've deconstructed the problem and solved it! We simply call them DPCCOs for short!
Hmmmm. Did your Grandparents10 know my Grandparents10? Most likely. . .
Try Smith. . .
“My 10th Great Grandfather was founder of Salem, Massachusetts, and the first English Governor of Massachusetts, John Endicott.”
Wow our ancestors were almost neighbors, and big shots too.
Mine was Theophilus Eaton, Governor of New Haven Colony, Connecticut, and was first President and shareholder of the Massachusetts Bay Company, the corporation which aided in the transport and settlement.

He was also a law giver, and here is an example.

Not surprising our colonists desired religious freedom, after the early days of religious tyranny.
Hey, if Harvard professors can do it, why not Ann?
John Endecott (Endicott, as later descendants spelled it)
John was so Priggish he removed the Cross from the British Flag.
