Ann Coulter says "faggot," Dems seek to put her into rehab.


This past weekend at CPAC (the Conservative Political Action Conference), Ann Coulter made news (see the video above). Now, the strange thing, as I see it, is how liberals keep on proving Ann Coulter right.

The last time Ann was the subject of this kind of virulent debate was when her last book, Godless was set to come out. In that book, she refered to certain 9/11 widows (the ones who had joined together into a seemingly untouchable political action group) "harpies." Coulter took a lot of flak for that remark, even before the book came out. I, being a fan of Ann Coulter's column and her previous books, was understandibly intrigued, and looked forward eagerly to the book's release. As it turned out, the chapter in which she called these widows "harpies" was a chapter about how liberals put forward victims; people whose credibility is extremely difficult to impeach because to do so would be politically incorrect...and by attacking her so virulently over this comment, they proved her right - and this fact has been borne out again and again, through the 9/11 widows becuase their husbands were killed, Christopher Reeves because he was paralyzed, Michael J. Fox because he has parkinson's (or Hilary Clinton because she's a woman, or Al Sharpton & Jessie Jackson because they're black, et cetera, et cetera).

Now, by crying and whining about her comments at CPAC, the Left is proving Ann right yet again. She said "I think you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,'" and all kinds of people on the Left and the Right have shunned her as if she were a leper or a crack whore, and needed to go into rehab.


Personally, I find Ann Coulter to be a very funny woman. I enjoy her commentary, if only because she tells it like it is without taking everything so seriously. I thought her comment at CPAC was funny, and I'm not sorry she said it, nor will I try to distance myself from her because it was politically incorrect.

Why? Because political correctness was first thought up by the Soviet Union: if you said something that was "politically incorrect," you were either executed, sent to a labor camp, or send to a "reeducation center," depending on the severity of the offense. Anyone who says the Cold War is over is deluding themselves: the war has not ended, it has only been transformed. Instead of fighting Communism in Russia, we are now fighting it within our own borders. The Commie cause has been taken up by the Democrat Party, who seeks to silence any dissent and opposition through the guidelines of political correctness, even while they seek to take control of people's everyday lives through government programs, prohibitive legislation, and Supeme Court opinions.

Keep speaking out, Ann. You will always have at least one supporter in me.
