COULTER: MORE BOOS THAN BALLS (And Gallons of Kool-aid!)
AnnCoulter.Com ^ | Jan 21, 2009 | Ann Coulter

MORE BOOS THAN BALLS
January 21, 2009 It will not be easy for President B. Hussein Obama. More than half the country voted for him, and yet our newspapers are brimming with snippy remarks at every little aspect of his inauguration.

Here's a small sampling of the churlishness in just The New York Times:

-- The American public is bemused by the tasteless show-biz extravaganza surrounding Barack Obama's inauguration today.

-- There is something to be said for some showiness in an inauguration. But one felt discomfited all the same.

-- This is an inauguration, not a coronation.

-- Is there a parallel between Mrs. Obama's jewel-toned outfit and somebody else's glass slippers? Why limousines and not shank's mare?

It is still unclear whether we are supposed to shout "Whoopee!" or "Shame!" about the new elegance the Obamas are bringing to Washington.


Boy, talk about raining on somebody's parade! These were not, of course, comments about the inauguration of the angel Obama; they are (slightly edited) comments about the inauguration of another historic president, Ronald Reagan, in January 1981.

Obama's inaugural address tracked much of Reagan's first inaugural address -- minus the substance -- the main difference being that Obama did not invoke God as stoutly or frequently, restricting his heavenly references to a few liberal focus-grouped phrases, such as "God-given" and "God's grace."

Obama was also not as fulsome in his praise of his predecessor as Reagan was. To appreciate how remarkable this is, recall that Reagan's predecessor was Jimmy Carter.

Under Carter, more than 50 Americans were held hostage by a two-bit terrorist Iranian regime for 444 days -- released the day of Reagan's inauguration. Under Bush, there has not been another terrorist attack since Sept. 11, 2001.

But I gather that if Obama had uttered anything more than the briefest allusion to Bush, that would have provoked yet more booing from the Hope-and-Change crowd, which moments earlier had showered Bush with boos when he walked onto the stage. That must be the new tone we've been hearing so much about.

So maybe liberals can stop acting as if the entire nation could at last come together in a "unity of purpose" if only conservatives would stop fomenting "conflict and discord" -- as Obama suggested in his inaugural address. We're not the ones who booed a departing president.

This nation is now controlled by socialists, and their propagandists in the press have done such a masterful job that even the GOP refuses to publicize the fact.

Pathetic and irreversible.

FReepers Support Ann Coulter in Hollywood @ Dr. Phil Taping

First hand account... | 01/21/2008 | DoughtyOne
Ann Coulter was in Hollywood, California this morning at Paramount Studios to appear on the Dr. Phil show. 

Southern California's RonDog coordinated a group effort to support Ann.  About thirty members of Free Republic showed up at the studios around 7:30 am. Jim Robinson, his wife Sheila, and thier son Chris came down from Fresno to join in. 

Also attending were a number of the Youngs Republicans from UCLA.  Ann didn't have to want for more support.  Thanks to RonDog, we had her back. I would say we made up between 25 and 33% of the audience.  Ann's contributions to...

 

FREEPERS invade Dr. Phil Show to Support Ann Coulter

A nice contingent of FReepers, including the famous Robinson family of Fresno, along with some UCLA young Republicans made it to the Dr. Phil show this morning to give support to Ann Coulter.

Okay, so the headline was hyperbolic. We actually didn't invade. We got reservations. It was an interesting show with Annie not shy whatsover in telling the L.A. audience the way things should be. Thanks to Ron Dog for his organizing skills in making it happen.

Ann had a great deal of support in the audience as she opposed Alan Colmes and then lying, backstabbing, weasel Scott McClellan....

My usual: 6-egg omelette, pound of bacon, six pancakes, toast, gallon of orange juice -- wait, that was Jerry Nadler's breakfast. I had a grapefruit.

That first one sounds pretty good, though I'd prefer my eggs over easy, and have a nice, big helping of corned beef hash too!

YUM!!!!

The lesson here is pretty clear. As is “what's going on here”. Liberals/socialists/marxists, the whole lot, have no self respect. That needs to be emphasized all over the country. And children taught to have respect for themselves and the bodies the good Lord gave them.

This, the freak show on display at the inaugural, was just an example of what is in store when society allows and even promotes attitudes that deny the very existence of self respect OR shame. If people do not respect themselves how can they be expected to respect anyone or anything else? Including a President, Our Constitution, properties, boundaries, decorum, life, a Church, you name it.

It say a lot about the 0bama supporters that they would try and disrupt or taint 0bama’s special day with partisan ugliness.

You needn’t feel compelled to answer the churlish insults of such a boor, although it speaks well of you that you were able to do so with much more civility than I would’ve mustered.

Oh! yeah... I must get this book(Guilty).. Her last book was a brilliant recap of most/some of her hyperbolic statements.. In case anybody missed some of them.. especially “liberals.. Read it on a recent plane trip.. “If democrats had any brains they’d be republicans”.. I recommend this book..
