Ann
Coulter
The only thing I admire about Ann Coulter is
her mind. The fact that she is a great looking blond means nothing
to a purely philosophical person like Bob Whitaker.
You can sure tell
I was in politics, can’t you? I wrote that with a perfectly
straight face.
No, Virginia, I don’t believe it either.
All I have read of Ann Coulter’s latest book is
its main title. The book is about the liberal record of
hatred for America. The book is about liberals always being on
the side of America’s enemies.
If Tucker Carlson or
William Buckley or any other respectable conservative were writing
that book the title would be “How Well-Meaning Idealists
on the American Patriotic Left Have Sometimes Made Honest Mistakes
About What Approach to Foreign Policy Has Been Best for America.”
Coulter’s title
is:
“Treason.”
To be a respectable
conservative, 1) You have to prove to the liberals who dominate the
media that you are harmless and 2) You have to praise liberals to
the skies. Respectable conservatives have to say that
every liberal is
personally lovable, honest, patriotic, idealistic, well-meaning,
highly intelligent, highly intellectual, and a string of other wonderful
characteristics that make the Boy Scout Qualities look like a string
of insults by comparison.
Ann Coulter knows
that history shows that liberals cannot be 1) patriotic AND 2)
intelligent.
Ann Coulter knows
that history shows an intelligent person cannot be 1) well-meaning
and 2) liberal.
Leftists are nasty
little people and what they are doing is either treason or they are
too mentally retarded to know the difference.
I like the fact
that Ann Coulter gives no quarter to this scum.
Well, what do you
know? When I get past the photograph, I DO admire Ann Coulter for
her mind!
Bush the Second, Somalia the Second
Retards like Gerry
Ford say that Republicans can win only if they are moderates, which
means they would be half liberal and half conservative.
In the real world,
conservatives destroy themselves when they try to please the left.
We are about to send
troops into Liberia for exactly the same reason we sent troops into Somalia.
Liberals accused Bush Senior of worrying about every continent
except black Africa, so he went into Somalia to please them.
Bush Junior is
taking military action or threatening military action in Asia, the
Middle East, and we continue to keep troops in Europe. So now that
there are problems in Liberia, Bush the Second has to send troops
there or he is open to the charge that he is ignoring black Africa.
That charge keeps
Republicans awake at night. Republicans want desperately to prove
that they know that Africa is just like every other continent. They
want to prove they do not treat blacks differently, so if Americans
are in Yugoslavia and Iraq, they should be in black Africa, too.
I have been where
the decisions are made, and I assure you that that is the mentality
the real Bush decisions are coming from. So Bush will go into black
Africa again.
The fact is that
Africa IS different. But there is no way Republicans will ever
learn that, so let’s make another point here.
Republicans are
always trying to prove something to Democrats. It is when
Republicans try to prove something to Democrats that they create a
disaster. That is what happened in Somalia.
Conservatives are
always trying to prove something to liberals. It is when
conservatives try to prove something to liberals that they create a
disaster. That is the danger in Liberia.
We will go into
Liberia to prove that liberals and Democrats are wrong about the
conservative and Republican attitude toward black Africa.
Insanity is defined
as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different
results.
Is an Innocent Person Ever Executed in
America?
Let me ask a
question about the American legal system. Here it is:
There are a lot of
hardened criminals in prison right now. When they are released will
any of them kill innocent people?
There are two
answers to this question.
The first is, of
course innocent people will be killed by repeaters released this
month.
The second answer
is, “So what?”
This is a question
that doesn’t matter. When it comes to innocent non-criminals,
nobody expects the legal system to be anywhere near perfect.
Now let me ask you
the question that does matter. This is the question to which at
least one documentary will be dedicated this week. This is the
question on the mind of every European and Canadian:
“Has an innocent
person ever been executed?”
The crime rate in
Europe used to be so low it shamed America. Now a small town in
Europe is more dangerous than a big city in America. So what do
Europeans worry about?
Europeans worry
about the American death penalty.
And we take them
seriously.
Only nine percent of
American burglars actually enter homes while the family is still at
home. This is good, because the effect of burglars breaking into a
home with children there is horrible. The children watch their
father cowering against the wall, helpless to protect them.
In Britain, almost
half of the burglars break into homes when the family is there. The
burglary rate in Britain used to be very low. Now every kind of
robbery in Britain is far more common than in America.
But if you ask about
the crime problems of developed countries, no one will mention those
cowering, whining fathers in British homes.
The only question
that matters is:
“Has an innocent
person ever been executed in America?”
In Europe, human
life is so important to the legal system that nothing else matters.
In America, a lot of things matter besides just keeping people alive.
I would much rather
be in America.
