Thank you Ann, for helping me put my perspectives in order. The firemen tell me that what they are finding at Groud Zero is unspeakable. Two of them told me also the same independent tale:

As is fairly common, they found a human hand. However, inside this clutching hand, this solitary remnant of the mortal vehicle of a human soul, was found a little hand.

Somehow that story and the tale of the cross gives me comfort and has an emotionally calming effect. Thanks and good night.

This is nice, but I'm a little distressed that Ann seems to have dropped any mention of her Terrorist Deportation Plan
The only thing we know about them -- other than that they live among us -- is that they are foreign-born and they are Muslims. The government has been remarkably tight-lipped about precisely how many Muslim visitors we are currently accommodating, but from unofficial estimates, there appear to be more than a million. Even if the attorney general instigated latter-day Palmer raids, it will take years and years to investigate and infiltrate every potential terrorist cell operating on our shores. The investigations should not be conducted while the enemy continues residing here, plotting the next attack.

It's an extreme measure, but we face an extreme threat. It is suicidal naivete to think we can simply seal off every water supply, air vent, food supply and crop duster from now until the end of time. We cannot search every truck, every passenger, every shopper, every subway, every person entering every building -- every American every day.

It is impossible to stop Islamic fundamentalists who believe that slaughtering thousands of innocent Americans will send them straight to Allah. All we can do is politely ask aliens from suspect nations to leave -- with the full expectation of readmittance -- while we sort the peace-loving immigrants from the murderous fanatics.

More benefits of the plan next week, but the beauty part of the Terrorist Deportation Plan can't wait. There will be two fail-safes: (1) Muslim immigrants who agree to spy on the millions of Muslim citizens unaffected by the deportation order can stay; and (2) any Muslim immigrant who gets a U.S. senator to waive his deportation -- by name -- gets to stay.

When she first wrote and published this article I thought she was going to take up this issue as her own, push it forward with all her might, not rest until it becomes the law of the land.

Again, this latest piece about the cross is very nice, but has she abandoned her own struggle against the terrorist swamp that lies across our land? Is she content to let the disease of bio-war fester in that swamp? Is she no longer interested in whether or not we drain that swamp?

Again, I'm not criticizing her, I'm just confused. Her Terrorist Deportation Plan is a solid war-cry of immense common sense. It will, of course, meet an incredible resistance-wall of all things Politically Correct. Has she given up on this idea? Has she moved on to other things?

Ann Coulter has breathed truth into this situation which in many ways has been hijacked once again by Liberals seeking to increase their own power on the deaths of patriots, it's an old story, but Ann helps people to see that no matter what color or race or religion you are, the truth transcends and exposes, it hurts but it heals.

'Has she given up on this idea? Has she moved on to other things?'
It ain't easy to 'give up' or 'move on' from the truth. I think it's presumptuous to try to link her into a swamp of terrorism and then say 'Oh I'm not criticizing', it's smarmy, but that's just MHO.

'LOOKS' may not be able to kill but words in the hands of Anne coulter are deadly weapons.

I was not "linking her into a swamp of terrorism" !!!

Ann Coulter came up with a plan to drain the terrorist swamp.

Now she seems to have dropped any mention of that plan. I was just wondering why.

I just LOVE the In Hoc Signo Vinces reference!

With literacy rates in the Middle East embarassingly low ("...The literacy rate throughout the Arab states is still only 56 percent, lower than in sub-Saharan Africa (56.9 percent) and only slightly higher than in South Asia (50.5 percent)."), we could and should emblazon all relief packages dropped from the skies with this appropo bit of Latin.

By the time THIS clash of civilizations comes to an end, all previous Crusades will look tame by comparison in the eyes of the Arab world.

I too love the In Hoc Signo Vinces reference. For those who don't know, it is "In this Sign you will Conquer". Figure out what sign it is referencing.

Yes. I thought the piece was well-done. I sent her an email asking her to begin a movement to keep the crosses at the WTC site - some kind of memorial.
With this sign we will indeed conquer all.

1. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", as is said.

Having met her in person, I can tell you she is better looking than her pictures and her force of personality comes out of her like a light.

2. As to the plagerism charge, I smell a smear attempt. Please remember that nothing has been proven and the initial evidence offered is pretty thin [the "quotes" can be found elsewhere in news articles as general sources] so that using "evidently" in your post is inappropriate.

Regards,

In hoc signo vinces was the phrase Constantine heard when he saw a cross, and converted to Christianity.

Looks to me like Ann Coulter is not at all repentant regarding her "convert them to Christianity" line a few weeks ago.

You go, girl!

Junior:

Did you just join FR so you could spread the DU line about our Ann?

Well, during times of national crisis, it's important to get your priorities straight. The Slimes has always excelled at that. You can find solace in the Lord's redeeming grace, or between the legs of some complete stranger. One is a symbol of transcendent magnanimity, the other a paean to mortal lust.

Which one would you expect the Times to advocate?

Coulter is neither particularly good-looking nor intelligent.

You are not only brain-dead, but blind, too.

Nice article. But if Ann wants to be taken seriously she should stop dressing like a bimbo. Conflicting messages.

A day without sunshine is like a day without an essay by Ann Coulter.

The One-Night-Stand article was 1,755 words. The Coping-Through-Sex article was 2,655 words. The Knitting article was 1,134 words. Even the article on solace in the malls was 752 words. The article on the cross was 423 words.

Values.
Ethical , moral, religious ,and love of America.
That the absence of these values at the NY Times exists is elemental and pointedly described by Ms. Coulter.

God Bless America.

Ann is taken seriously. She just happens to look good and dress like a real woman. What would you prefer, an ugly, black pantsuit with frilly stuff sticking out of the sleeves like the scarecrow in Wizard of OZ?
