Battered Conservative Syndrome: Defending Ann Coulter
[Big Lizard: BEST defense of GODLESS yet!]
Er, better make that:
BEST defense of GODLESS yet -- from someone who is NOT Ann Coulter herself!
NO ONE defends Ann better than -- Ann!

I agree completely with you.
Ann Coulter is right...she has the guts to talk about what is real...she throws cold water in your face with reality!

Ann talks outloud about the elephant in the room.

She must have hit a nerve cause the Jersey Ladies and the Libs are sooo defensive about this!

Coulter has it nailed this time.

I'll back her up 110% any time, any place.

It's disgusting that there are members of this forum who have more than once insinuated she's a racist.

"But if you're a reasoning human being, you don't allow empathy to leap up your throat and strangle your brain ..." Geez, sounds like Ann! Thanx for posting this long but very insightful article. I just found another blog to read regularly!

after reading a few of your posts this afternoon and this evening, I believe that this article should be mandatory for you to read. Almost as if it was written for you.

If you're a human being, you feel sorry for people who have suffered great tragedy. But if you're a reasoning human being, you don't allow empathy to leap up your throat and strangle your brain: you control it; you take a step back and ask whether We are the evidence ever means anything more than "Shut up," she explained.

Precisely right.

And, sorry folks, this wimpishness among some of the people on the right is of no value whatsoever. It's the same thing that got Delay booted from the Senate for fabricated charges.

Look, I have been critical of Ann. Mainly since her Roberts column. It was beneath her. Not because it was harsh, but because it was a sloppy mess. Souter is not Roberts, and Roberts is not Souter. Yet the majority of her columns fixated on Souter and the past, her fears, not the wealth of material that DID exist about Roberts approach to law.

That isn't the case here.

She's right.

100%.

And anyone that automatically damns her for stating they seem to have enjoyed their husband's death, applies a sense of morality to these women that they have not exhibited.

They used their dead husbands to get on the news and pursue a political agenda. Just as Wilson used his wife, with her approval, to get attention. Just as Berg uses the best part of him (His heroric son) to get attention. Just as Cindy uses her heroric son to get attention. There are names for people like this, and Ann uses some of them.

Yes, there are 9-11 families that sprung up to defend the war and even the administration. But how many of them do you see drifting off into discussing the issue of abortion? They speak because morally deficient women like the Jersey Women have claimed the voice of the families of 9-11, and they haven't the right to do so. That's why the others came forward. But to my knowledge they haven't become spokesmen/women for the RNC reading off their daily talking points.

They enjoy their fame, the power they feel it gives them to claim superiority over anyone that didn't lose a loved one. And I do NOT believe if given the choice, they'd choose to have their husbands back without hesitation for the loss of power/attention they've received since.

And don't forget the caterwauling that came from the left at the tinyiest sign that President Bush might utilize any image, no matter how oblique, relating to the 9/11 attacks, in his 2004 campaign, or at any other time. This while the Jersey Girls were actively assisting Kerry in his campaign, even to the extent of appearing with him at rallies and in commercials.

And the left has no difficulty getting away with this, thanks to covering fire from its friends in the MSM.

I have seen Dafydd ab Hugh on panels at science fiction conventions and have also read his commentary on his blog. He is a very intelligent and independent person and I have enormous respect for his opinions.

Regardless of how you feel on this topic, I think you should read what he says.

Whenever someone like the Jersey Girls or Sheehan appears, I try to picture wives of the men on the Arizona (Dec 7, 1941) etc behaving that way. It works. You immediately see them for what they are, opportunists.

Liberals have always been good at emotional extortion - ever since they began accusing anyone who questioned anything a black did or said of being a "racist", and maybe even before.....

I believe its related to conservative inferiority syndrome. We don't think we are as good as we really are and we look to liberals to validate us. And when we don't get it, we assume there's something wrong with us. We never stop to think we might be right and that its the liberals who are wrong. We need to stop enabling liberals by attacking conservatives who point out the truth about them and remember that liberals are not our friends. If they were, you wouldn't hear them describe conservatives in terms not printable in the family newspaper.

I hope Ann Coulter reads this thread, because if she does I would like to encourage her to go on a campaign against Hillary Clinton.

Hillary becomes blind with rage when someone criticizes her, and if Ann were to just add a regular paragraph to the end of her column with joyous, sharp-tongued reminders of what Hillary is and represents, there is a good chance that Hillary would make a right royal fool of herself again.

Think of it as proxy revenge for all those retired people who lost their nest egg and were ruined by Whitewater and Castle Grande.

All of what's included in this article is what I've been saying for a while. Personally, I have lost some respect for Kathleen Parker following her editorial taking AC to task for how she made her points and I've also lost some respect, though there isn't much left, for Bill O'Reilly who also lost little time in upbraiding AC. Neither of them seem to get it - the right has to scream bloody murder anymore to be heard by the Weft, including Bawney Fwank.

Bravo Dafydd! Encore, encore.

Excellent observations of not only the looney left, but those on the right enabling the griefarazzi.
