The Ann Coulter Thread

[John L]

^God I'm so tired of the lack of civility in American politics. I guess its all about selling books for Coulter.

That's probably part of it. She has to make a living, don't you know.

But a larger portion is dealing with someone, who started life behind the Collectivist Eight Ball. His father was a certified, card carrying Marxist, and his mother was a more kinder, gentler, kind of Mainline Socialist. With those odds against someone, is it any wonder he really is intellectually stunted?

The fact that so few actually begin that way and finally manage to jump off the track, before it totally ruins their life, is remarkable in and of itself. David Horowitz is the rare exception.

Guess you don't pay attention to Chris Matthews, Rachael Madcow or read anything that Kos Files spews out either, eh?

[slackula]

Actually, the term 'retard' is a bit strong but the sentiment is still accurate.

I wonder if Palin will call Coulter out on it?

Anyway, here's a response to Coulter's garbage that is much more reasoned and polite than she deserves:

Dear Ann Coulter,

Come on Ms. Coulter, you aren’t dumb and you aren’t shallow. So why are you continually using a word like the R-word as an insult?

I’m a 30 year old man with Down syndrome who has struggled with the public’s perception that an intellectual disability means that I am dumb and shallow. I am not either of those things, but I do process information more slowly than the rest of you. In fact it has taken me all day to figure out how to respond to your use of the R-word last night.

I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have.

Then I wondered if you meant to describe him as someone who has to struggle to be thoughtful about everything he says, as everyone else races from one snarkey sound bite to the next.

Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift.

Because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are – and much, much more.

After I saw your tweet, I realized you just wanted to belittle the President by linking him to people like me. You assumed that people would understand and accept that being linked to someone like me is an insult and you assumed you could get away with it and still appear on TV.

I have to wonder if you considered other hateful words but recoiled from the backlash.

Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor.

No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much.

Come join us someday at Special Olympics. See if you can walk away with your heart unchanged.

An Open Letter to Ann Coulter | The World of Special Olympics

Thanks for the post.

This was a really good reply,

"I thought first of asking whether you meant to describe the President as someone who was bullied as a child by people like you, but rose above it to find a way to succeed in life as many of my fellow Special Olympians have."

which was only surpassed by this

"Finally, I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift."

and all of it topped with this one :

"Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor.

No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much."

It's funny since the town where I live has a home dedicated to helping the severely handicapped learn to adapt and live independent lives. We have wheelchairs rolling all over town, and every time I see someone form the home, I think about just how much they overcome every single day. It is remarkable.

[Jools]

Perhaps the ONLY thing I like about Ann Coulter is her loathing for Muslims. I will agree with Boon Mee that Annie runs an intellectual marathon, but the bitch has no compassion. That is NOT a very attractive feature for anyone...male or female.

[Humbert]

She is good a good friend of Bill Maher. They yuk it up and count their money together. Bill O'Reilly was right - Hate is big business.

[slackula]

His father was a certified, card carrying Marxist, and his mother was a more kinder, gentler, kind of Mainline Socialist.

Do you get your info from FOX, The Blaze or Breitbart? Are you even able to define the meaning of Marxist or Socialist?

is it any wonder he really is intellectually stunted?

Yeah, because Harvard is well known for appointing retards to head the Law Review right?

Try harder.

[Boon Mee]

Who never published a single article in that Law Review.

Only reason Obama was appointed to that position was affirmative action. harvard needed a person of 'color'. In fact, the only reason Obama was admitted anywhere was thru Affirmative Action right up to the White House.

Liberal White Guilt is a pretty heavy affliction. No known cure...

[sabang]

^ Nutcase. Plain and simple. Are you still a Birther, too?
Seriously, I question your true patriotism if you accuse the population of the USA of electing the Democrat Presidential nominee just because he is (half) black. Does that mean, say, if Hillary had won the Democrat nomination she would not have been elected to the Presidency- because she is White? Or a woman?

[slackula]

Was his JD magna cum laude also a freebie?

You think you are criticizing Obama but you are actually defaming one of the globe's most prestigious educational institutions. Congrats.

Ok, let me elaborate, and not have a moderator come along and wipe it out, because someone has the audacity to be a little blunt. So here goes with ALL forms of Collectivism. And I'll start with Fascism and work outward, ok?

Fascism - A Political-Economic system in which the State heavily controls and regulates the means of production. Fascism is a combination of Corporatism, and Syndicalism. Under it the means of production are officially owned by private industry. But the truth is that this is in name only, because the State owns everything But the name. Fascism is Left Wing, and please don't bother trying to argue this. While it is to the Right of Marxism, it is still Left Wing.

Socialism - A Political-Economic system in which the State actually owns the means of production. It handles everything, and makes no pretense of owning production, as with Fascism, which is identical in practice, but different in formality.

Marxism - A Political-Economic system in which the State actually owns ALL real property, not just the means of production. The State owns real estate, homes, automobiles(after all, automobiles will be mobilized in time of war, since the economy is always in the toilet). All means of REAL Property. Personal property, such as clothing, etc , they could care less generally speaking.

Euro-Socialism - Really a combination of Socialism and Fascism. Its a squishy form of State supremacy, and like all unstable elements, tends to be temporary, until the citizenry grow tired of it, or a tyrant takes advantage of the guaranteed anarchy that will follow when the economic system finally collapses.

That is why Euro-LaLaLand is in such trouble today. The EU is guaranteed to fail, and some states will come under the control of an oligopoly. And who will be blamed for all this, now that there are so few Ashkenazi Jooos left to point a finger? Will the Gypsies be blamed? Certainly the logical scapegoat will be the Muslims, but they tend to fight back, and that could cause the tyrants to lose, right?

If these accurate and common sense definitions do not pass muster with you, you are the product of Government Schools, and need to reeducate yourself.

This is the one thing that so many people find so hard to understand. What I mean is that there is a difference between IQ(intelligence) and Common Sense(wisdom) And unlike an economy, which is never a Zero Sum Game, the capacity of a particular brain to process information is generally just that. Its the product of genes, and any change is a slow one.

Its also the result of the aging/maturation process. Generally speaking young people have more intelligence than common sense, because they rely on their "Igo", and little on their "Id". In other words, they are a great deal more emotive, and less logical. And it doesn't matter how intelligent one is, if they are not able to use logic and process information based on that ability.

That is why the Left is so much more dependent on emotions(ego) and less on logic(Id). And that is why people change their outlook on how the universe works, as they age. Some are lucky to have this mental fusion process to ignite early, and others are far less fortunate. Some never reach that point where logic takes precedence over emotion.

Obama is the classic example of a person with a high IQ, but stunted in wisdom. I tend to look at people such as this as "Intellectual Morons". The odds are that Obama will never have that mental fusion process ignite, and we are all the losers for it.

If you cannot process this information properly, you need to go and purchase some more common sense, from the nearest hardware store. I'm not trying to be provocative, just trying to make a logical point.

As for the Harvard part, it is true of all Ivy League schools. They are education machines, guaranteed to produce 'pointy headed' bureaucrats. Most of them are of high IQ, but still ruled by their "EGO", i.e. emotions. That is why most of them are Leftists, and mostly Democrats. A smaller portion of them are Republicans. Both parties are dedicated to Big Government and not the Founder's Intent. I'd dump them both into the Chesapeake Bay were it up to me. Both are totally useless, especially if you value Individual Liberty.

That's why I am a dedicated 19th Century Jeffersonian/ de Touchville Liberal.

[sabang]

As for the Harvard part

Righto, I'll be sure to tell Mitt. I guess he failed the entrance exam to Bob Jones University.

I presume you are one of these latter day lunatics that think National Socialism (in German, aka Nazi) is a form of Socialism? A simple yes or no will suffice.

[John L]

pretty much so to both points. As for the Bamster, he got the government, and foreign grants to pay for his 'so called' higher education. I'm convinced that is the main reason why he has had access to his transcripts locked. If the country saw all the ways he 'gamed' the system, they would never have voted for him.

As for Harvard, if you want to be a DC egghead, or be an elitist you will have come to the right place. Harvard, as well as all Ivy League schools are grossly over-rated and not advisable for entering the private sector. One could do better at more practical institutions. As a Citadel graduate, I can guarantee you that I was better prepared for the Real World than some Harvard graduate.

Nice demonstration of your misunderstanding of both political ideology and Freudian terminology. Always good to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course it was. Why do you think it's Real name is "National Socialist German Worker's Party"(Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei). It was Collectivist. And if you don't believe that, chances are you will believe anything.

And who really cares about Bob Jones, unless they are Fundies? Which I am not.

[sabang]

Anyways, they're both Menschurian candydates. The only politicians with the balls to address real issues are dead, some not yet buried.

^ dunno, but I'm intrigued to find out that the Democratic Republic of North Korea is democratic in your opinion. Care to tell us why?

[John L]

H.L.Mencken was definitely right about public schooling.

H. L. Mencken: Aim of Public School System is to Suppress Dissent and Originality


"The theory behind the public schools, which cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions every year, is that they manufacture hordes of enlightened and incorruptible voters, and so safeguard and mellow democracy. The fact is that they are mainly manned by half-wits and bossed by shysters...

...The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to down dissent and originality.

Ohhh, please don't get me started about that evil word "Democracy". First of all, the US is NOT a democracy. It is a constitutionally representative REPUBLIC. Democracies are "Majority Rule" and are just an interstate with no speed limit, on the road to Anarchy, and then tyranny.

The Founders were very explicit about their fear and dislike of Democracy.

As for NK, saying one thing does not mean the truth. And if that is democracy, I rest my case as to why democracy is so destructive. NK if really an oligopoly, ruthlessly ruled by The Few, having one person out front, and the others behind the curtain.

[sabang]

Oh, Mencken. You mean this Mencken?-

A keen cheerleader of scientific progress, he was very skeptical of economic theories and particularly critical of anti-intellectualism, bigotry, populism, Fundamentalist Christianity, creationism, organized religion, the existence of God, and osteopathic/chiropractic medicine.
H. L. Mencken - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suspect he may have voted for the half black guy, rest his weary bones.

[sabang]

I suspect the Democrats are trying to take away his guns.

[Boon Mee]

[quote=Zooheekock;2253088]

reference to who paid for somebody else's eduction is absurd in the extreme.

OK smart guy. Where did Bath House Barry come up with the $ for his 'education' then?

[sabang]

He took out student loans.

[Boon Mee]

He took out student loans.

Got proof of that?

There are still questions re who paid and perhaps The Donald's $5 million bounty will 'spring' some answers.

Meanwhile:
