Conservative pundit Coulter wraps up book tour in Auburn
[next stop: NIXON LIBRARY, L.A. FReepers!]
Ann Coulter is an entertainer. Yes, she has conservatives leanings, but no one around her takes her seriously any more as a strong conservative spokesperson.
Same song, second verse. Ann has bills to pay.
I dumped Ann long ago when she was supporting Hillary for President and never looked back.

...but is worth going to their website, and reading the WHOLE ARTICLE......which, in general, is a VERY POSITIVE review of Ann's new book:
Up and down with Demonic
Born in June of 1951 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Jim O’Neill (constitutionalwrites.com) proudly served in the U.S. Navy from 1970-1974 in both UDT-21 (Underwater Demolition Team) and SEAL Team Two. A member of MENSA, he worked as a commercial diver in the waters off Scotland, India, and the United States. In 1998 while attending the University of South Florida as a journalism student, O’Neill won “First Place” in the “Carol Burnett/University of Hawaii AEJMC Research in Journalism Ethics Award.” The annual contest was set up by Carol Burnett with the money she won from successfully suing the National Enquirer for libel. Jim can be reached at: lausdeo.jim@gmail.com
She also called Palin supporters demonic.
Pray for America
That's not an exception. Birthers should be dissed in a rational book.
This isn't about ideology. Birtherism is a question of facts. You don't get to make up your own facts, regardless of your ideology. Birthers are just factually wrong.
THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. DO MOT PUT THEM ON PEDESTALS. THEY DID/DO NOT RUN FOR OFFICE.
Their primary asset (for us) is their ability to inspire, and in our regard that means the ability to inspire a greater awareness of ideas, the ideas that help define our Conservatism.
For me, I wish Ann would keep herself more to the intellectual realm and her books, and be less active as a pundit on different Conservative/GOP politicians.
By the way, there is an equally good book out now.
It's "The Secret Knowledge" by David Mamet, full title: "The Secret Knowledge", subtitle "On The Dismatling of American Culture".
Who is David Mamet?
from wiki at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mamet
"Best known as a playwright, Mamet has won a Pulitzer Prize, and Tony nominations for Glengarry Glen Ross (1984) and Speed-the-Plow (1988). As a screenwriter, he received Oscar nominations for The Verdict (1982) and Wag the Dog (1997). Mamet's books include The Old Religion (1997), a novel about the lynching of Leo Frank; Five Cities of Refuge: Weekly Reflections on Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy (2004), a Torah commentary, with Rabbi Lawrence Kushner; The Wicked Son (2006), a study of Jewish self-hatred and antisemitism; and Bambi vs. Godzilla, a commentary on the movie business."
And what does he have to say in "The Secret Knowledge"?
"Hear him take on the left's sacred cows. Diversity is a "commodity." College is nothing more than "Socialist Camp." Liberalism is like roulette addiction. Toyota's Prius, he tells me, is an "anti-chick magnet" and "ugly as a dogcatcher's butt." Hollywood liberals—his former crowd—once embraced Communism "because they hadn't invented Pilates yet." Oh, and good radio isn't NPR ("National Palestinian Radio") but Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt."

As to Ms. Coulter, "when she is good is very, very good and when she is bad she is horrid!" Her new book sounds interesting enough to buy.
