EAT A DONUT! YOU'RE SCARY!

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.
I think she's been known to upon occasion.
And it is our great honor to have such a noble
Conservative Warrior Amazon join us .
I wish she would post to us on these treads directly ,
I'd love to hear her feedback on many of the issues discussed
on Free Republic , without any media filters running.....
Maybe there would be some public relations liabilities
in so doing ?
who knows....
figure-atively came to my mind...

Haha! That's how we get you! Just kidding. Or am I?
Christian?
Ah-YUP.
How do you know?
'Cuz she says so... Heard it with my own little ears.
I'm not a liberal, but I have learned not to take her seriously. Can't see why anyone would, to tell you the truth. She's the equivalent of Arsenio hall saying something to get his posse doing the old "woof woof", but indeed, nobody else takes her seriously.
I'm just not sure why so many conservatives seem to think that's a good thing.
"...it becomes too difficult for liberals at times to actually dissect her arguments."
that says something about the state of liberal education today.
if an "intellectual" can't dissect her arguments, well...
uh duh, dude!
I can claim to be Michael Jordon. Doesn't make it so.
Ann called alan colmes a liar on Hannity & Colmes tonight, and colmes nearly burst into uncontrollable ugly-girlie-man tears.
Would love to banter with you on this one but I have studying to do. L8R!
That is your proof? If Ann is a Christian, then she is a very poor witness to the unsaved. I can't imagine a non-Christian reading one of her columns and wanting to know more about Jesus Christ. She certainly has not used her fame to advance the Kingdom.
I'm outta here. Good night!
Hundreds of columns and three books without a single reference to her Christian faith. Odd...
At the same time, she inspired many young conservative women to be brave and strong.
Was this a Christian or political conference?
She and those young women she was addressing all understand and heartily agree that Jesus died for them, so they don't have to worry about what the liberals think of them. Those are her God-given gifts.
Some of those Christians need to know the Lord as their Savior and Ann's rhetoric is not helping. Accusing all liberals of treason, which is a lie, would be a good example of rhetoric that does not help the cause of evangelism.
True, true....Many times she may be over the top. But I LOVE the way she makes libs start to foam at the mouth
That t-shirt is on its way to me now.
But with each and every passing day do you ask yourself:
"D@mmit -- am I really a lib? Aren't Freepers "my" people? ;-)
