Lock and load Ann.....Give 'em hell!

[taxesareforever]

I read the book and her best so far.

[papertyger]

Until that time her "verbal reprisals" serve a useful function within an intellectual marketplace that resembles a commodities pit more than a debating society.

Bump for all the meeley-mouthed, bed-wetting, RINO's who whine "she didn't have to be so harsh."

[Nateman]

She might as well add a few chapters about how the "Central sun theory" or "Round earth" theory are bogus. She brilliantly slams the left then becomes a fool by blasting evolution. I'm just as surprised as she is that the left is not taking her on over this. I'm embarrassed to have her on my side because of it.

Do you understand what she meant by "being condescended to by a tarot card reader?"

You are not embarassed by the behavior of such consistent evolutionists as Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Sanger? You do not see the connections between their thoughts and their actions? You wish to hallow the thought behind the actions, while disavowing the consequences?

Nice attempt at a strawman arguement but I have to give it two thumbs down. When setting up a strawman arguement, it is better if you are not so blatent about it. You have less chance of someone noticing your extreme logical fallacy.

[Nateman]

You might as well invalidate chemistry too, it's lead to nerve gas and other nasty things.

I might add the main problem with Hitler, Mao , Stalin and Hillary is they were/are socialists. If people genuinely accepted facts and not cherished beliefs we'd be rid of the disease of socialism by now.

[RaceBannon]

No, Nate, only a fool defends evolution.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

I don't think that most conservatives have a lot of monkey blood in their backgrounds but I think liberals mostly do.

My in-laws have a lot of ape in them.

General Lee didn't have any. And I'll call out any man who says he did.

This review finally made me stop procrastinating, and I went to Amazon and purchased Ann's book. Sounds like a real page-turner!

[Junior]

Did these reviewers read the same book I did? There is nothing like "intellectual meat" in it; hell there isn't even "intellectual tripe" -- it's more like "intellectual sawdust sweepings mixed with intellectual textured soybean meal."

Her current work is nothing more than invective, and the section on ID is little more than a rehashing of the thrice-refuted creationist canards found on the crevo threads here. She can't even get her "sources" right. Hell, after reading her first chapter where she manages to get the facts about Chernobyl 180º out I began to question what happened to her once-vaunted intellect. She's done little to no research and appears to have simply thrown this book together after a weekend of intensely reading FR.

What really scares me, though, is that so many people who've read her book think it's the most brilliant thing they've ever read. This tells me one of three things -- they either haven't read the book, but are poseurs trying to look like "with-it conservatives;" they are Ann-droids who worship the very ground their goddess walks upon and treat every scribble from her pen as Holy Writ; or they are products of a piss-poor educational system who wouldn't know a poorly-structured argument if they had lived next door to it for decades and allowed their kids to play at its house.

[Junior]

You could always ask him if he is embarassed by the behavior of such consistent Christians as the KKK. It's as intellectually sound as his claims.

[Jaxter]

"..those 9/11 widows who seem to be "enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

I know what she was saying here but I think if she had said 'enjoying their widowhood' or 'enjoying the fame and the riches that their husbands' deaths gave them' she would have been more accurate.

[killjoy]

they are Ann-droids who worship the very ground their goddess walks upon and treat every scribble from her pen as Holy Writ;

It is called pandering to the lowest common denominator. She has already made a name for herself so doesn't need to put in the work that she would otherwise. She knows very well this type of book will go over well with a large percentage of conservatives (just read FR), so why not? Her inclusion of Darwin in a book such as this proves that she is pandering to her base. Why come up with something new when you can just parrot what is already out there?

or they are products of a piss-poor educational system who wouldn't know a poorly-structured argument if they had lived next door to it for decades and allowed their kids to play at its house.

LOL. I am saving that one for future use.
