Ann Coulter is a great columnist, but I'd rate Mark Steyn and Dr. Thomas Sowell better. Part of the reason is that Ann has to resort to shock statements to get the most attention whereas Steyn uses humorous satire and Sowell uses pure intellect to accomplish the same think.

I used to think so, before I considered what "PC" means and where it came from.

"Politically correct" means *prospective* constraints on speech, where you self-censor, then censor others, based on the anticipated punishment for something you were going to have said.

Ann, by coming out and saying something even worse than the (false) accusations which would have been used to silence conservatives, for much less than what she herself said, acts to purchase conversational "breathing room" against accusations of "Crimethink."

We owe her all a great deal.

Cheers!

"Politically correct" means ...

There is a RELIGIOUSLY Correct as well - an OPRAHisation of 'religion' where we all sing Kumbaya and just get along; no matter WHAT heretical (compared to Christianity) 'beliefs' are being bandied about.

There is a fierce group of Religious Warriors on FR that has had enough and are speaking out to SUPPORT Christianity in much the same manner of these columnists mentioned in this thread.
