Oh there is another where pictures are required. Condi Rice. She's not a blond either.

Ann Coulter hates liberals with an undying passion. Although that's common knowledge and usually the first thing most people know about this conservative diva, you're probably thinking that that's not the best way to start an article in which the goal is to, in a way, glorify and defend her from those men and women who covet the safety of political correctness.
Yet, it's the truth.
First and foremost, "political correctness" are two words that are not in Coulter's vocabulary, nor should they be. Why are we, as a society, so concerned with what other people want to hear? We've gotten to an unparalleled time in American history where we cannot voice what we truly think and want to say. Instead of honesty, we're forced to exist in the ever- narrowing confines of American appropriateness.
For example, if we see a woman on campus who wants to express herself by parting her hair in a purple Mohawk, we are now forced to acknowledge this as acceptable. Our honest opinions have become secondary to the perceived opinions of the perceived majority. Liberals now find that deviation from this ideology is implausible. Now, thank God, we have a woman who is not going to tolerate being "politically correct," or in layman's terms, live life as a societal android.
Yet, liberals scream that her brusqueness is an excruciating media problem and feel threatened that a woman has voiced her opinion. So they do what they do best: start with the name-calling. Coulter has been labeled as the most fascist, sexist, racist bigot to have ever lived. Because of her hard-to-grasp belief that women shouldn't vote, liberals call her "dumb," not taking into consideration that she is both a legal correspondent and a world-renowned attorney.
She's Satan to some, only because it becomes too difficult for liberals at times to actually dissect her arguments. BG News opinion columnist George Valko's comments on Feb. 21 serve as an example. After stating one of Coulter's quotes, he simply states that "no one needs to comment on that." With no offense to Mr. Valko, that's simply bad analytical literature. That "comment," like so many other liberal "arguments," is nothing more than trash-talking about someone he doesn't like.
My favorite Ann quote sums up her philosophy on life. She once said, "Democrats couldn't care less if people in Indiana hate them. But if Europeans curl their lips, liberals can't look at themselves in the mirror."
Whether you agree with the war on terror or not is one thing, but to actually base your opinion about the war on what France thinks of it is treasonous. Many people know that but are afraid to speak out about it. Coulter, contrary to popular speakers like Michael Moore and Al Franken, loves her country and is not going to allow liberals' fear of foreign ridicule get in the way of truth. Like Coulter once said, "usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening."
In her 2002 best-selling book "Slander," she stated that the "gravest danger facing most black Americans today is the risk of being patronized to death." Her belief is that nowadays, many of the problems that members of the black community are internal and blacks are being perceived as helpless. Does this make her a racist? Did she ever say, or even insinuate, that she doesn't like black people?
But our society, who loves to oversimplify life, sees blacks being portrayed in something other than a victimized light and, without thought, portrays her as a racist. It's similar to the Cosby controversy, and as was the case with this newly-defined "race traitor," liberals feel that anyone who states a somewhat-conservative opinion should be a Constitutionally-denoted criminal.
The goal of this column is not to make you fond of Ann. Actually, the fundamental truth is that if you have more in common with the socialist party than basic American ideals like the majority of the Democratic party these days, then you won't like Ann and she won't like you. It's a similar relationship to the conservative party and the shameless Michael Moore with the only difference being that Moore's defunct arguments are painfully inferior to those of Coulter's, lacking logic and a general sense of intellect.
On the contrary, the point is to get you to come to more of an appreciation of Coulter's honesty and frankness. All of her books have been on the New York Times bestseller list, so educate yourself about America and check one out.
THANK YOU!
I am second to know one in my admiration of Ann, but if I'm say, Michael Jackson and I'm looking at 20 in the big house, Ann's name does not spring to mind when I'm thinking of representation.
Somehow I knew the first part of that sentence would be ignored.
LOL
I live near Somerset, Pa. September 11 is a date that will never be diminished in the memories of most of us around here.
And that's a bad thing?
I say more power to her. The Left practically foams at the mouth whenever they talk about her, revealing just what they're all about. And slumbering Christians need a slap along side the head to wake up and see what's happened to our country.
As for being an "entertainer" and not a "serious thinker", well, that's your opinion.
The legal experience Ann had would be typical for a very bright and talented graduate of a highly regarded law school. It doesn't mean she got into court very much or worked on monumental cases. I think her law degree and experience are assets to her, but her real strengths are her political astuteness, keen powers of observation, writing skills, and, most of all, her acid wit. And her looks are certainly not a drawback.
Not exactly a lithesome blue eyed blond. Quite nice to look at nonetheless. I'm sure the FR ladies like looking at Tom Selleck (well maybe not the younger ones)
(P.S. Nice Safari .45! Looks like fun!)
Oh my. Hope to go there someday and pay my respects to those who were the first to fight the War on Terror.
I would!!
Most fun at night when you can see the compensator in action (might have to take a photo one of these days).
...said Protagoras as she looked in the mirror...
When the pot doesn't get stirred, things burn. A very important role, pot stirring. In a way, the entire structure of American liberty is based on pot stirring. The first and second amendments protect various sorts of pot stirring. The second actually protects the ability to vigorously stir the pot, should the stirring protected by the first prove ineffectual or is suppressed.

Wait a minute- does Ann Coulter actually believe women shouldn't vote?
Does anyone have verification on this?
Ann would rather have women not be able to vote than elect another Slick Willy. I think that was her take.
What the author is railing against is Communist methodology. What he is applauding is Ann's recognition of it, exposure of it, and throughly discrediting it.
Impossible. You seem too nice and intelligent. However, liberals do lie so maybe you aren't but claim you are (isn't that what I said in the first place) or, ...Heck, I'm too confused to go on.
You seem particularly unqualified to make that judgment.
