  • Ann Coulter Answers Her Critics (eyefull)

    Laura can be funny, articulate and is genuinely attractive. She has got very few peers in the media. Ann is not one of them.

    Not from what little I have heard of Laura, but radio takes a certain skill, a la Rush; maybe she is better in print.

    In print Ann wins hands down, every time. What is attractive in Ann is her wit, zeal, and ruthlessness, as well as the physical charm. Confidence is the most sexy quality.

    If you want to hear what confidence on the radio sounds like listen to Rush; he takes his time to communicate his thoughts, to sigh, to slurp his drink (theatre of the mind as he says)!

    Laura may well be very intelligent but she seems too distracted, disorganized, flighty and too fast (when she does not need to be) to seem confident.

    With Ann's jokes either 1) You got it the first time. or 2) You are still too Liberal.

    You are wrong; beliefs should be examined as to their reasonableness.

    Although I only knew about half of the arguments before I read the book, Ann's presentation and contextualization (look a new word!) makes a much more convincing summary. The straw man arguments of an evolution/flat earth creationism dichotomy purposefully avoid looking at the strong statistical reasoning behind ID.

    Although science is not to be sneered at, mathematical arguments have a stronger claim to the word "proof."

    Once something is proved by mathematics it stays proved; mathematical proofs have to pass more than the "best so far" test of scientific theory.

    Some sciences are more equal than others, as the following joke will show. (thank you Eric Blair)

    An astrophysicist, physicist, and a mathematician were traveling on a train in Scotland. They saw a black sheep grazing near the train tracks. "Look", exclaimed the astrophysicist, "all sheep in sheep in Scotland are black!"
    "You mean that there is at least one sheep in Scotland that is black", scoffed the physicist. The mathematician rolled his eyes heavenwards. "All we know is; there exists in Scotland at least one sheep, one side of which, is black."

    ID is a science. The proponents of Darwinian Evolution (of whatever stripe) seem to react to Ann's arguments like other liberal apes; they just throw excrement.

    Behind the development of evolutionary thought, there lurks the epicurean world-view. It's good enough for a RINO, but not for a real conservative.

    Are there any rational explanations to the institutionalized lies of evolutionist? Has any equivalent behavior been tolerated in other science?

    Yep, Joan of Arc; strength of character; leads from the front; etc.

    To me she seems to be a sniper. I don't have a good title suggestion - just want to develop the idea. She goes into unsecure territory, takes out a visible enemy leader, and returns laughing, while almost all enemy combatants are having sissy-fits.

    The direct target seems amost collateral in the long term, because the throffing-at-the-mouth reation dammages the credibility of liberals.

    It is said "Satan feeds on your fear." It impossible to fear someone you are bussy laughing at.
