If it wasn't for Coulter, the ideological goal posts would move further and further to the left by the leftists themselves. A conservative make a perceived controversial comment - other conservatives and Republicans are supposed to condemn those comments, which discourages conservatives and allow the Left to move the issues that much further to the left.

The hand-wringers and others who would rather lick the boots of their masters instead of standing up and fight clearly cannot understand this.

Exactly. The left wants to control 'speech' - thus, they gave us PC. And the hand ringers march to the 'obedient' drum.

The day flag burning is no longer free speech - is the day I say Ann is out of line.

Why is it when Ann lands a solid left jab at the libs, so-called conservatives yell, "Ouch!"?

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

You nailed it. She is flushing out a lot of Rino's and bringing more attention to the double standard we live with in the MSM and sadly some on our side.

You, my Friend, get it.

We desperately need our own "extremists".

The far Left proposes something outrageous and conservatives start handwringing, or even, on increasingly rare occasion, come out in open defiance. The "progressives" step in and go 'Now, now, let's be reasonable, let's compromise...." and the Right caves in, time after time.

We need our own "extremists". Not the Hitler youth neo nazi (real) "hate-groups" the Left has managed to shove under the right wing tent ("National SOCIALISTS" really are the Left on steroids) but people who do unequivocably state they will NOT tolerate routine violation of our laws (The border and illegal immigration), who will NOT tolerate the advocation of buggery and other unnatural acts as "Normal" before our schoolchildren, who will NOT tolerate the murder of helpless developing infants in their mothers' wombs, who will NOT tolerate the relentless assault on those of conventional Judeo-Christian religious faith (nor the attack on the open practice thereof), who will NOT tolerate ignoring the Constitution and the Bill of Rights--especially the right to arm one's self in the face of criminals, brigands, or tyranny.

If the Conservatives would just tolerate their own in-your-face "extremists", just maybe they could frame the argument in such a way that "compromise" would mean the other side gave ground instead of the perpetual moral retreat which has been in progress since Conservatives let the P-C crowd define the very building blocks of debate.

This is not a gentlemanly duel, this is (for now, verbal) trench warfare.

If some have no stomach for the mud, blood, and brutality, they should at least get the hell out of the way and let others fight the fight.

No matter how sanitized the version of the battle, in the end it will be ugly, and the longer we wait to cease capitulation, the more vicious, desperate, and ugly the fight will be.

Ann Coulter's ascerbic wit and biting sarcasm are two of the most effective weapons the Right has. Her words,carefully framed, have unceasingly brought out those (even in our own ranks) who would judge first and listen later, and base that judgement on the enemy propaganda.

That these same voices often call for balance and decency is all the more ironic.

In the end, in warfare, you destroy your enemy by any means, fair or foul--it does not 'have to be nice'. You break their will to fight, and gain capitulation from them.

If Republicans and self-styled Conservatives are willing to throw up the white flag over mischaracterized remarks, this is going to be a tough battle, indeed.

You are so right.

Where have all these outraged people been when Ann Coulter has been called horrible names, even attacked physically.

There is a talk-show host, Miller somebody, who loses it at the very mention of her and Bill O'Reilly and makes vicious, false, and stupid statements to about them.

The left is afraid of Ann Coulter, fearing among other things, that she might reverse PC, fearing her ideas. If she were not influential, they would not bother.
