I'm afraid for some people it's just lip service.

I think Ann Coulter would benefit from reading George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior.

Coulter isn't running for president.

She's a clear clarion voice calling out the enemy that lurks in the shadows. She is a Thomas Paine, not a George Washington. If you must use a president as a model, think of the ascerbic, frequently tart tongued, but flawless patriot John Adams.

Everything I've heard suggests Coulter is a model of personal decorum and courtesy outside her role as political commentator and satirist.

She has a more powerful and effective voice that you have. Are you envious? Or do you hate her because you feel the lash of her tongue on your own thin skin? Is it her criticism of the god of Darwinism that sets you off too?

Thank you.

The folks who advocate (as I did for a long time) that the only way to beat the libs is to adopt their tactics are in danger of becoming that which they dislike most...

I quite support civility and decent behavior.

AND

sometimes, in the trenches . . . a machine gun . . . aimed at some sensitive parts is an exceedingly fitting thing.

Christ Himself called the religious PhD's of His dusty pathed days

snakes, whited tombs, hypocrites . . . etc.

Not exactly afternoon tea language of that era.
