One must stroll away from convention to understand Ann's message-within-a-message style. Ann is a giver. She is giving the left back everything they have been giving a getting away with since at least television became popular. The only extra she throws in is a smile.

Words have specific meanings and Ann refuse to tiptoe around the real meaning of her message with words that may not mean exactly what she is saying. Her style is very effective, too. That is evident by the writhing and howling from the left every time she appears.

Words have specific meanings

Agreed. She is a "polemicist" in the true Greek meaning of the word (it means "combatant"). She combats with her words. That is fine. That appeals to certain segment of people.

The kind of articles that turn me on are analytical ones that get me to think. George Will is one such writer. There are other less stuffy ones but I can't remember them right now.

I prefer analytical over polemicist.

You said that SO well, whereasandsoforth. :-)

Ann doesn't crap around, play games, OR take prisoners. She's the Real Deal.
