I will never, ever...until doomsday...figure out why Ann Coulter has taken the positions she has lately. And, frankly, I don’t care.
She has proven to me during the past year that she is willing to sell her soul for some reason that I can’t imagine. Has she been bought? Has she become a “moderate and progressive”? Who knows?
I just know that I will never see her in the same light, ever again.
Excellent posting, as always, Phil.
I have four books by Ann Coulter, but all were purchased before she went gaga over Mitt Romney and I won't buy any more.She's always been rabid, resembling one overstimulated on a Class A narcotic or a pharmaceutical amphetamine--that's her personal schtick.
But her ethos has been conservatism--now she is doing the Leni Reifenstahl for a soulless opportunist.
She joins Meagan McCain, John McCain, Bob Dole, Chris Christie, Karl Rove--and Donna Brazille.
We're given to understand she dated Bill Maher--that in itself is impossible to justify with conservative principles: never has there been a more tasteless attacker of any value regarding life and living.
If one can embrace Bill Maher, one has no decency--and she purports to name M. Stanton Evans the greatest living authority on Sen. Joe McCarthy.
Consider the lines, "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"
I had the pleasure to watch M. Stanton Evans, then editor of the now-defunct Indianapolis News, destroy in debate Dr. Robert Risk the head of the Indiana Civil Liberties Union, the latter accompanied by bearded Marxist rabble with whom we YAF members later engaged, it being 1964 when conservatism was not at all popular, the American people preferring a six-trillion-dollar war on poverty, Medicare, and a losing Vietnam War.
Now comes the so-called conservative Ann Coulter pushing the hollow man.
She is powered by ego and the thrill of fame; not by principle.
