Ann Coulter: A Green Card in Every Pot

Human Events ^ | 30 may 07 | Ann Coulter

[rellimpank]

Americans -- at least really stupid Americans like George Bush -- believe the natural state of the world is to have individual self-determination, human rights, the rule of law and a robust democratic economy. On this view, most of the existing world and almost all of world history is a freakish aberration.

In fact, the natural state of the world is Darfur. The freakish aberration is America and the rest of the Anglo-Saxon world.

The British Empire once spread the culture of prosperity around the globe -- Judeo-Christian values, tolerance, equality, private property and the rule of law. All recipients of the British Empire's largesse benefited, but the empire's most successful colony was the United States.

Yes. That was my point. The liberals say that illegal immigrants are doing jobs Americans won’t do and that our American economy depends on illegals ( LOL what a laugh). But Japan proves that they don’t need to import illegals or people because Japanese companies like Toyota can increase mechanization, automation and advance technology without illegal immigrant “saviors”. U.S. companies can do the same.

Thanks for the info!

Until the recipient culture is capable of doing an effective job of Americanizing immigrants, it's preposterous to talk about a massive influx of Hispanic immigrants accomplishing anything other than turning America into yet another Latin American-style banana republic. And it is simply a fact that no one is trying to turn immigrants into Americans.

Thank you Ann. What the hell are our politicians thinking? Telling us that this reform bill is necessary and good and wil fix the ills of illegal immigration. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY SMOKING?

...Huntington is now predicting, in his book "Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity," that America cannot survive the cultural onslaught from Latin America.

American Hispanics responded to Huntington's book with a flurry of scholarly papers and academic debates to counter his thesis that Mexicans were not assimilating.

Just kidding! They called for national protests against Huntington, his publisher and Harvard University.

I am truly digusted by our so-called leadership in Washington.....

I wish our new immigrants had come to America back when the foundations of civic society and patriotism were still inculcated in all immigrants (and when half of them went home). But traitors who are citizens have destroyed all acculturating institutions. Traitors who are citizens have also destroyed all incentive for the poor to work or even keep their knees together before marriage.

McCain and Democrats only care about power and they will take everything we have worked for away just to take our right to vote them out of office away.

The strange thing about many of these Senators creating this disaster is they'll be dead when the real problems start kicking in for the rest of us. McCain, Kennedy, Feinstein and others are in their seventies so exactly what is motivating them personally I don't know.

“The only question is why?”

The view from mount Olympus is to look at Americans and others with compassion. Americans are especially special to our (permanent) political class.

[ChessExpert]

Correction:

“aren’t especially special”

In an astonishing exchange on Fox News last weekend, Dan Henninger of The Wall Street Journal responded to Heather MacDonald's point that Hispanics in this country have a 50 percent illegitimacy rate, the highest teen pregnancy rate of any group and the highest high school drop-out rate of any group, by asking: "Why don't we feel we are under cultural assault in New York City? You have no sense of this at all here."

You also have no sense of the existence of a middle class in New York City. The rich have hidden the evidence, transplanting all but the massively wealthy to the suburbs. Manhattan is white and getting whiter, while the boroughs are noticeably less white and more dysfunctional.

Perfect. And the US Senate is even further removed from reality than the Wall Street Journal.

My guess as to what is motivating McCain, Kennedy, Feinstein and other Democrat senators to create this disaster is that they are liberals and are just doing what liberals do. Liberals hate America and are intolerant, totalitarian, elitist, socialists. They also want to implement their liberal Marxist agenda and want to take our right to have any say in how the country is run.

“Americans — at least really stupid Americans like George Bush — believe the natural state of the world is to have individual self-determination, human rights, the rule of law and a robust democratic economy.”

She is SERIOUS. The point is that when considering the natural state of affairs thoughout history, the United States of America is the exception not the rule. The rule is Darfur, the rule is Stalinist Russia, the rule is Mao's China, the rule is Nazi Germany, and today the rule is the theocratic Iran and the psychotic North Korea. George W Bush in his naivete thinks he can enact this abomination and America will absorb this population, greater than all of Australia and several European nations. It is

INSANITY!!!!!!

gcruse: “She’s bombastic and clownish. You want brilliant, read Mark Steyn.”

fr_freak: “One of the things that I really like about Coulter is how her writings separate the men from the boys around here. Those who don’t have the guts for a down and dirty fight, which politics is, at its heart, can’t help but cringe and wince as she steamrolls over the kinder, gentler, tone.

Mark Steyn is brilliant, though.”

We need them both—the brilliant satirist Mark Steyn, and the hilarious, dirty street fighter, Ann Coulter. The best comment I read on the difference between them was by—of course—Mark Steyn. He said after “Godless” came out and the big blow up over the 9/11 widows, and I’m paraphrasing,”I wrote an article about them in 2001, pointing out they were using their husbands’ deaths for political purposes. No one paid attention and the article was forgotten. Now Ann bludgeoned them with the fact of their hypocrisy and no one can stop talking about it.”

He said it more elegantly than that, of course. I think I got the quote from a Hugh Hewitt transcript.

” But Forrest Gump was...um...”limited”... :-) “

Not a problem if he wants to run on the Republican ticket in 2008.....

Oh, one more thing—in her book, “How to Talk to a Liberal if you have to” she describes exactly what she does. She uses facts, but she doesn’t reason with them. “If they aren’t spluttering in complete apoplexy, you haven’t been tough enough with them.”

She uses loaded, emotional terms (I never saw two women enjoying their husband’s death so much) to penetrate their lack of logic. (I was going to talk about John Edwards, but I don’t want to be sent to re-education camp for using the word “fagot”.) This gets her air time on TV for both her and her opponents, blog time, lots of comments, so that the facts eventually penetrate. The 9/11 widows DID get millions of dollars. They DID use their time and money to campaign against Pres. George Bush. There is something slimy about using your husbands’ death that way.

‘Even with the amazing greatness that America has earned over the centuries with the attributes that Coulter mentioned, has much of the world followed our example? Of course they haven’t, and there is your proof that it’s not a “natural state”.’

Well said.

I was amazed that many Europeans saw us as colonialists (Vietnam), just like themselves. Many on the American left see us as stealing oil. much as they steal through taxation or by taking over organizations. You are right; American virtues are seldom appreciated. It seems that many appreciate the American paycheck, but little else.

I confess I’d like to see Coulter in the White House... with John Bolton as Sect of State.

I sure like having a CCW in FL. That’s something I didn’t have in Cali.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

[Travis McGee]

Why? Here’s why Bush is for amnesty in a nutshell. “Privatize the profits and socialize the costs.” What this means is the corporate boys who financed him get megaprofits from lowering wages in their meatpacking plants and other industries like agriculture (Privatize "Profits) and dump the costs of education, medical care, law enforcement for the millions of illegals on the middle class, who are losing their jobs and being taxed to support the illegals. Short terms profits - billions. Long term result, America turns into a third world slum with Venezuela type politicians and a dead Republican party. Thanks, Jorge!"

Well said, worth repeating!
