Dear Readers,
As many of you may have heard, we've dropped Ann Coulter's column from NRO. This has sparked varying amounts of protest, support, and, most of all, curiosity from our readers. We owe you an explanation.
Some may say who cares like yourself, but people in the battle for the right know this was a needless battle. Only with David coming to the rescue and NR's Goldy speech of foolishness here did we come out ahead.
Face it, Coulter is unraveling.
I NEVER said "who cares". I have said repeatedly that Ann is WRONG on this one.
This is and has been about INSUBORDINATION, not Censorship and the contents about "converting them to Christianity" had very little to do with NRO's decision to stop printing her work (she was not really fired). I agree that this should have been handled privately, but Ann fired the first PUBLIC shot at the WP and on Maher's PI show. SHE TOOK IT PUBLIC, NOT NRO. This does make a difference to me at least.
I will continue to read Ms. Coulter's work but I don't expect her to have anything particularly illuminating to say about our present War-- she is not a military expert and she is not connected to our country's leadership. So, her best topics are on the back burner for now.
