She has a point, and I'm sick to death of these people ruining everything they touch. Their problem is they are so unhappy with their lives that they have to meddle in everyone else's life.

They've almost ruined Christmas this year and I don't have that many left. I think we all ought to get together and file a class action suit against the ACLU.

Meanwhile, liberals in New York and Washington are consumed with what people are doing in Alabama and Nebraska. Nadine Strossen and Barry Lynn cannot sleep at night knowing that someone, somewhere, is gazing upon something that could be construed as a religious symbol.

It's worth pointing out that when homosexual couples sued the state here in Massachusetts this year, our Supreme Court got pro-family briefs from the AGs of Alabama, Utah, and South Dakota explaining why Massachusetts should rule the way they preferred. The guy the newspapers go to all the time now as the leader of the opposition to gay marriage, Ronald Crews, moved up here from Georgia and has a thick southern accent. He's not shy about his goal of reclaiming Massachusetts for God.

I'm so conflicted. I appreciate the moral support, but this kind of involvement risks a backlash. It's exactly the sort of thing southerners keep telling us Yankees not to do.

If Southerners can fight their own battles, how can we defend it when they send in the cavalry to "rescue" us?

[HostileTerritory]

Dude, you live in Washington State. I know you've got a healthy red zone but you're still outnumbered. When they fence things off by state we're both going to be on the wrong side.

"I see this "Democrats = blues states" nonsense is now completely ingrained in the culture, even though it was the GOP that has been traditionally designated in blue (before 2000) by the media. "Commie red" is a much more appropriate color for the Rats."

It bothered me too until I realized that the red represents the blood of the fathers who died for us. The red states are full of people who remember, the blues would rather forget, hoping we will too. I'm through talking to them. When the time comes we'll be the ones with the guns, like always.

Ann "Civil War is good, so long as women are kept out of combat." Coulter.

[Swordmaker]

Just once, I would like to see a township (after having been sued by the ACLU and losing), tell the ACLU to stick it and try enforcing the ruling. Just once.

The problem is that people believe in the RULE OF LAW. They will follow the rulings of the Judicial Activists failing to recognize that they are not basing their rulings on the RULE OF LAW, but rather on the RULE OF MEN.

IF they were basing their rulings on the RULE OF LAW, the second part of the establishment clause, ". . . or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. . .", would be given equal if not greater weight than the first clause, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . ."

It is amazing how BLIND justice can become between the first and second commas!

[Swordmaker]

Color assignments in earlier elections were not consistent; while I agree that blue for Republicans and red for Democrats might be ideologically appropriate, this is not the first election where Republicans have been red and Democrats blue.

I never could quite figure out why people were getting so exercised about the color choices after the 2000 election. I recall that different networks had differing colors for the (R)s and the (D)s in the same election.

Because the cr*p that the liberals are doing will eventually lead to a 2nd civil war not of mass armies but of death squads.

Meanwhile, liberals in New York and Washington are consumed with what people are doing in Alabama and Nebraska.

their enterprise is getting redistributed wealth from the rest of us.

[alrea]

It's the blue states that are constantly sending lawyers to the red states to bother everyone.

keep hillary clinton and her neosocialist redistributor law benders out of the south and west.

[Ann Archy]

ACLU is totally ANTI-CHRISTIAN!! Amg they wonder why anti-semitism is on the rise.

Memo to someone...anyone to do an EXPOSE on BARRY LYNN!! And Morris Dees!!

[DallasMike]

That's an interesting picture. I didn't realize that Ann Coulter had 11 fingers on her left hand.

[Rummyfan]

Ann, if you're lurking, Merry Christmas and keep up the good work!

[Mr. Mojo]

The red states are full of people who remember, the blues would rather forget, hoping we will too. I'm through talking to them.

By next year at this time those "red states" will be far fewer in number. In fact, if this election is a repeat of '84, the whole nation will be a sea of red (except for one state). That's why I don't like to label whole states as "the enemy." Way too collectivist for my taste. Enemies of freedom are individuals, not states or counties. In fact, I'd bet that the majority of Freepers hail from "blue" (in election 2000) states.

[jackbill]

Wrong Richard Reeves.

The Reeves that Ann is talking about is the ultra-liberal, Kennedy butt boy, author of "President Kennedy: Profile of Power"

[Mr. Mojo]

I was mistaken .....Freepers hailing from 2000 election "red" states number 7540 and those hailing from "blue" states number 6685. But this is counting only those who've placed their state flags on their profiles. Perhaps many who live in the "blues" were just too embarrassed to show their flag ;)

But anyway, my point was that election map colors change - and sometimes drastically - with every election, and the GOP will most likely have total dominance of that map after the next election. So it's wise not to get too caught up in color labels.

[Lancey Howard]

My first thoughts exactly.
The most disturbing part of Ann's latest masterpiece is the listing of decent, traditional American communities which have caved in to the ACLU and the rest of the scumbags of the godless Democrat left.

[Lancey Howard]

I am absolutely convinced that the decision to make Republican states red and scumbag states blue was quite deliberate. I think the map's publisher wanted to avoid a fracas. Surely, the scumbags would have jumped up and down and hollered "foul" if they were made red. But you are, of course, correct - - communist red would have been perfectly apropos for the Democrats.

The thing that has always puzzled me about this Ten Commandment flap is that the Holy Bible is used to bind someone to their word that they are telling the truth and it's not considered a breach of the First Amendment.

The whole basis for the oath to tell the truth comes from the Holy Bible in Genesis 20:16 as Commandment Number Nine: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor", yet that particular verse is prohibited from the courtroom.

"To tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God" has no relevance unless we attach some significance to what is written in that book, and, particularly, what is written in the Ninth Commandment.
