Since a sizable chunk of the American public believe the same thing, we are doomed as a nation. The culture is already dead so what is left to lose ?
BUMP
This is an Ann Colter thread, right?
So who's got the picture???!!!
P.S. This is one very smart lady!
The Republican Party has gotten to its nadir of "We'll do what the Democrats have suggested, but cheaper" politics by being obsessed with being liked by their opponents and well-reviewed in the leftist media. Conservatives have been gentlemanly, which is normally a great compliment and a virtue, and have followed the old Gentleman's Code of never giving offense intentionally. But when the opponent manufactures reasons to be offended, it's a formula for disaster and must be replaced.
Ann Coulter has recognized these facts, and has the right temperament and style to act on them. She's the spearhead of the movement for common-sense conservatism in America, and may God bless her for it.

Precisely.
This is my personal philosophy as well, so it's no surprise that I have absolutely zero patience with liberals. I don't even bother "making nice" with 'em, for I know what they'll say before they even say it. They're so vapid; so unbelievably predictable.
I'm ready for some conservatives on the national political scene who don't give a flying f**k what the liberals say / cry / whine / mewl.
Good talk, but I disagree that Conservatives should stop talking about liberal spew. In a sense, she's violating her own advice, because she is addressing an audience of Americans who are in the middle or making their minds up about ideas, and she is talking about liberals and liberal ideas (or what's left of them).
You can't allow yourself to fall into not wanting to talk up ideas, not wanting to debate the other people. You can't walk away from it, or people will get the impression that you don't think you can compete in a contest of ideas, if you only seek fora among the undecided or among fellow conservatives.
Recriminating is a favorite liberal technique, and they get it from Marxism. Soviet Communists used to demonize people as a form of "debate" for the illiterate: they demonized the Mensheviks, the Jewish Socialists, the anarchists, the mass-party Socialists, as Lenin kept dividing and dividing until he got the Communist Party cut down to just his own coterie and fellow-travelers he could dominate.
Stalin did the same thing to "gold bugs", "wreckers", "capitalist roaders", and all the rest of the long litany of groups Solzhenitsyn told us about in The Gulag Archipelago.
That is why Marxist-educated liberals try to do it to us. The one thing we cannot afford is to quit the forum and to resign the fight. We need to send Ann to call on Pacifica and challenge them to debate something on "their" radio show, instead of letting them throw dead cats every day and sneer that Rush isn't "fair" because he doesn't "balance" his show by having Marxists come on and call him names.
In a straight debate before an American audience, I'm willing to bet that Marxist diatribe will fail.
So far from ceasing to talk to them, we need to do what Ann does -- right up in their faces, right in front of everyone. And whip their little asses.
VIIIVAAAAAAAAA!....
Okay, guys.....
OLE'!!!
What a barren life.
