I didn't rush to pick up Ann Coulter's "Godless" – even though she is my favorite pundit.
I waited a whole five days after the infamous 6-6-6 release of her indictment of liberalism to devour it cover to cover.
It was not what I expected.
But this one is different.
Frankly, I thought I knew it all when it came to this particular subject – that what we call "liberalism" today is an all-encompassing religious system, completely irrational, completely devoid of any underpinnings in historical fact, common sense or human nature.
All the while pronouncing themselves to be "non-religious," it turns out these modern-day "liberals" are zealots of their own crude, primitive and barbaric faith.
As Coulter puts it: "Liberalism is a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul. Their religion holds that there is nothing sacred about human consciousness. It's just an accident no more significant than our possession of opposable thumbs. They deny what we know about ourselves: that we are moral beings in God's image. Without this fundamental understanding of man's place in the world, we risk being lured into misguided pursuits, including bestiality, slavery and PETA membership. Liberals swoon in pagan admiration of Mother Earth, mystified and overawed by her power. They deny the biblical idea of dominion and progress, the most ringing affirmation of which is the United States of America."
Unlike Coulter, who still seems to believe the Republicans have the antidote to the political and cultural toxins served up by liberals, I have rarely, if ever, hurled "liberalism" as an epithet. There are many reasons for that – not the least of which is that it means different things to different people at different times and different places.
But, ultimately, no matter which word you use to name the poison, Coulter has broken down the chemical composition of the contaminant.
This book is at once both profound and – this is where the pleasant surprise was – extremely funny!
I mean this is some of the best satire I have ever read. If you liked P.J. O'Rourke at his best, you will love "Godless: The Church of Liberalism." It has a more serious message and it is hysterically funny – even when acutely diagnosing the disease of modern liberalism.
I think more than any of her previous works, this one by Coulter will have, no pun intended, long legs.
Honestly, if you want to ensure that your kids do not grow up to be moral relativists, abortion-on-demand advocates, apologists for the grossest behavior of homosexuals, defenders of murderers, etc., put this book in their hands.
This is not just raw meat for the converted. This is potentially a powerful inoculation against a life wasted by promoting liberal shibboleths.
But, more than that, Coulter has provided us with a manifesto for more clearly perceiving the world in which we live. It's critical to understand we all have a worldview – both believer and non-believer alike. It's also important to understand the worldview of our opponents, our adversaries, our enemies, those who are out to get us at any cost.
I can't think of a better analysis – a more cogent assessment – of who those opponents, adversaries and enemies are than Coulter's "Godless." It's much more than I expected – even with my extraordinarily high expectations for anything Coulter does.
And, best of all, as depressing as are the facts Coulter uses so skillfully to make her case, she has developed a masterful wit that will, at times, leave you doubled over in laughter.
It's no wonder this book has shot right up to the No. 1 position on Amazon. It is destined for the No. 1 spot on the New York Times list – which will really tick off those Godless liberals on 42nd Street.

I was surprised to see her book at the front of the Borders store, and from the looks of it, they were having a hard time keeping the display rack stocked. I say "surprised" because I had a some difficulty finding Unfit for Command than I did any of the leftist books of the time.
Good for you. I am a tall, thin, young immigrant woman, one of those to whom people feel free to say "Eat a sandwich," etc.. I LOVE being my punk conservative self in public. It is stunning for the American liberals around me because they can hear my accent, know that I'm not from here and can't handle the fact that I know my facts, love your country and adore your President (in everything except ANWR drilling and illegal immigration).
Of course, to them I say (in cultured tones, you understand): Place your labia on my glutea and make the requisite noise.
Sure they have guiding principles. There is no God. Killing babies for your convenience is a sacred sacrament. Promiscuity and perversion are also sacred. A World Dictatorship is their goal; the sooner the US is destroyed, the better.
Boy, did it work!
"...I think more than any of her previous works, this one by Coulter will have, no pun intended, long legs..."
Those of you who haven't seen Ann up close, in skin-tight pants, can't quite grasp this metaphor fully. Apparently, the author has.
*whack*
Can you hear me now?
Goooood!

I love Ann!! But I don't like her stating that PETA is only for liberals. PETA is many times too radical, but they do go after abuse cases that I applaud them on. I love animals, I support hunting, I'm a huge conservative and I love like seeing a dog beater and cat kicker doing their time in jail after paying hefty fines. :-)
Yes, they are not real principles of faith but rather mindless orthodoxies, picked up from more-politically-correct-than-thou friends and acquaintances. And the orthodoxies do contradict one another frequently. Cuckoo clock in Hell.
PETA is a radical, liberal, terrorist group, don't fool yourself.
I believe the publisher paid for this treatment. I don't have any inside knowledge, but it sure looks like a paid promotion.
Really, they protest tooooo much; but it would seem, Ann has left these Libs gasping for their breath and their life having driven deeply, the truth of Liberals.
Buying Ann's book tomorrow; my only determnation is whether I go 'over the counter' at B&N/Borders? And let them see a real live Repub/'nebbish'. . .or order anonymously from Amazon. . .
AMEN!
MY MO as well. . .albeit a huge Republican. . .and I USED to belong to Peta. . .
The ACLU does the same. . .just enough good; to hide the reality of their extreme agenda. Give your money to your local animal shelter. . .or other legal funds that support defense of animals. . .
Just heard Hannity say that Ann will be on tonight to "debate" a New Jersey politician. Given your screen name, thought you might want to tune in.
*snort* *guffaw*There we will find it on the bottom shelf backwards and upside-down. ]
LOL!. . .and 'been there myself'. . .as for the 'upside-0down treatment'; so true and. . .
precisely what I do to a 'Hillary' book. . .and other disgusting, literary efforts by Liberals. . .which are found sewn between ugly covers. . .
. . .while moving the 'honorable efforts' - the truth of all matters - so to speak; to the 'staff recommendation shelves'. . .or 'best selling' non-fiction or 'newly arrived'. . .because they are never acknowledged as any of the above. . .
As we speak, Hannity is now talking w/Ann re suggestions for boycott and banning!
RE: Bacterial resistance
I dont' know that bacteria evolve resistance.
Some bacteria are naturally resistant. The others die.
Those that survive reproduce in greater numbers since there
is less competition. At least that's how I understand it.

Started on Saturday and couldn't put it down.
Real cute.
I hope your 'above' can be found as well, in Amazon's 'reader review' per Ann's book. . .Good one!
NJ politico was taken to 'lunch' by Ann on national TV. . .NO one is going 'best' Ann on this one. . .she is right - and she nails these Demrats on their hypocrisy and 'sheilding' tactics.
We have only to think of the Demrat's tactical arrogance as well, with candidate ('I-served-in-Viet-Nam'), John Kerry. . .using that cover ad nauseum to deflect responsibility for his actions/words/deeds. . .
