Once upon a time, we cared about the welfare of our fellow Americans. Farmers in the Midwest devastated by tornadoes, trailer parks washed away in a Florida hurricane, our country's ranking on various international comparisons -- we all rooted for our fellow Americans. Like all countries, we would squabble, but we were family. We were all Americans.
Not anymore! Now, no one cares about anything but getting rich, the better to separate oneself from the lives and concerns of poorer Americans.
Businessmen, Wall Street bankers, ethnic activists, Democrats and Republicans (including the president, apparently) -- all of them have a stronger fellow feeling toward Saudi princes and German bankers than toward Iowa farmers. Being "inclusive" to "Dreamers" necessarily means being exclusionary toward our own working class.
So what if wages have flatlined -- or declined! -- for several decades? The smart set aren't wage-slaves.
Mexican drug cartels aren't swarming through their towns. They live in fancy neighborhoods.
Somali refugees aren't beating up their kids -- who are safely ensconced in expensive private schools, anyway.

That’s what happens with multiculturalism. We don’t see each other as Americans anymore.
We used to care about Ann Coulter.
I have to laugh at these types of articles. These are the same people who are shocked when neighbors or strangers help someone during a flood or tornado.
America is basically good. It’s people are generous and caring.
Too many of these “commentators” have to stop reading their own crap.
Most people don’t seem to care about much of anything.
Lots of lazy and whiny slobs.
I’m not Adrian Monk level clean but I have some standards.
Diversity destroys social cohesion.
Where is she going with this—it takes a village?
Waaaayy too touchy-feely in tone.
We are a nation of greedy cutthroats. I’d rather die a poor patriot than a rich traitor.
Maybe Ann wasn't paying attention and missed the loving response of millions of ordinary Americans to the catastrophes that hit TX, FL and PR last year. It's a shame because they were great demonstrations of the greatness of the American People.
Seems to me she is attempting to use the Progressive’s own meme against them.
“We used to care about each other” is an often used meme to push the welfare state, IMHO.
The #1 problem in this country are the MORONS who keep electing and reeelecting Rats and RINOs. PERIOD.
Now, no one cares about anything but getting rich, the better to separate oneself from the lives and concerns of poorer Americans.
Yeah, other than the rip on Trump, she has a very good point. The only way for the left to settle this hypocrisy is to either say they themselves were all “racist” a few years ago, or admit that their policies now are anti-american. There is no other way to bring these two lines of thought into sanity.
Ann Coulter cares about Ann Coulter and not much else. Irony.
Ann should STFU.
She doesn’t need to “go a little bit easier” on POTUS Trump, she needs to shut her yap.
She intelligence has gotten so warped that any potential nugget of rational thought is poisoned by her malignant attitude towards Trump.
She’s in it for herself and herself alone. And I bought two of her books, I used to like what she said. NO MORE!
Trump has really cooch punched the pundit speaking fee rate. They are unhappy about that.
When the state and politics grow larger, civil society shrinks.
its a very clear, direct relationship
Maybe Ann’s black boyfriend is clouding her mind.
Did you read the article? My guess is probably not. It is well researched and worth the time.
