By engaging in that kind of rhetoric

We agree of her brilliance and because of it, I believe she has little patience. Have you ever been around a group of people who are truly clueless -and they won't listen to just plain ole common sense? How long can you stay in their presence before your insides gets the best of you and you either have to lash out or you will explode or walk away. Now magnify that to a national level as she witnesses the stupidity/cluelessness of those in power directing our country and she's a constitutional lawyer.

We, also, have been watered down with PC. Truth and PC are enemies, where one lives the other cannot exist. While Ann speaks truth, most say she didn't have to be nasty about it or she could have said it in a round about way - in a more pleasant way - to get her point across. What they want is for her to be PC. While they appreciate the truth, they prefer it to be wrapped in PC to be more palatable. She's not a politician, so we ain't going to get her to act like one. She isn't looking to be liked which is rare these days.

I would never be so arrogant as to think I could be on the same level as Ann - she just keeps knockin’ ‘em out, and it’s wondnerful - but I recall a boyfriend I had many years ago who constantly reminded me “you don’t have any patience with stupid people.” I never understood why I should.
