But she expresses her opinions in the framework of emotionalism. Over and over, throughout this thread and all Ann threads, emotional words are used to describe her personna.

Conservatism strongly supports self-gained knowledge and we often hold those who have degrees up for censure because they don't have the 'common sense' to support the claims and beliefs. Conservative values are respecting those who've lived full lives and upheld the foundations of family, childrearing etc equally with those who have taken more scholarly pursuits.

You can't have it both ways. Ann can't one minute be the brilliant brain and the next be the emotional rapier. She can't be the paragon of virtue and the hottie in the mini selling on her sex appeal. She can't be the unmarried/childless/never lived woman one minute and worldly and wise the next.

She is a woman who has hid behind her brain and her words instead of living. If she was a liberal, we'd be pointing that out over and over and over.

No bias here, just the person saying the Empress isn't wearing any clothes. She has not lived. Period.

Just out of curiosity, what do you define as "lived"?

That whoosing sound is the point of their statement going right over your head.

Projecting your ignorance is hardly an effective argument. That you cannot understand the concepts of "polemic", "irony", or "satire" in AC's prose doesn't merit a judgement that she has not "lived", or that she is "white trash whose Mama didn't raise her right." Instead it sounds more that you have not "analyzed" while you have been "living."

Coulter is a NY TIMES BEST SELLER, a lawyer, and a world traveler. Your banal pettiness OTOH, makes this reader wonder if indeed you've "lived."

Just curious, who are you to set the definition of conservative values?

You mention a lot of things Ann can't do... say's who? You? Just like a liberal to ignore reality... Guess what? She's doing it. If you want to get in the way of the Ann steamtrain, you can get run over but before you tell her what she can and can't do, you should at least note what she's doing.

In your post you hold yourself up as the arbiter of what a conservative stands for and what they may or may not do... care to post your resume so we can see your basis for claiming superiority?
