Ann's Big Fat Fuckin' Mouth

Wow !
A faggot ??? Really ?
Ann Coulter must've really did her research when she called John Edwards one of those (I have more respect and manners than she does to repeat it....).
But what really was the point of calling Edwards that ? Did Coulter really believe that by calling him names, that it would sway the entire nation into voting Republican again ?
The blowback from Coulter's remark has slapped her in the face, as many times as Rush Limbaugh popped a pill and ate a donut...at the same time.

It had to have been the dumbest thing she had ever said yet, but somehow she still believes she has immunity from everybody who's offended by it. I hope she doesn't think that the Republicans will be supporting her statement, because many of them don't. In fact, many of the Republicans are trying to clean up their image to the public in the hopes that they will re-elect the party to lead the nation again - especially since the majority of the Senate is composed now of Democrats.

Anybody can see that the Republican party is on it's way out, and that no matter how much shining and polishing they do, the American public has seen enough of them. If Ann Coulter was in charge of making the coffin, she just smashed in the last nail by saying a sub-human comment like she spouted at her speech to her fellow Republicans.

...oh, and by the way Ann - maybe you better start creating a third party for yourself....it doesn't look like Republicans see you as human anymore...look on the bright side, at least you have Limbaugh to keep you company...

What about Russia ?

Iran is eager for friends, and America should be too.
With the crisis of Iraq still in the horizon, President George "Cowboy W." Bush is now looking towards another Middle Eastern threat in Iran, and with the way his first war is going, if he decides to take on this one in the same manner, we could probably expect more missiles flying over New York City.
What America needs is an ally (and no the British won't count on this one. As far as I'm concerned, they paid off their World War 2 debt by jumping into Iraq) And who better an ally than Russia.

Russia and the US have had some kind of history together. Opposing ideas that lead to the longest war in history, but that should be behind everybody by now. Barring Ann Coulter's constant reference to Communism whenever she refers to a Democrat, the Russians are now part of the twenty-first century, and while not totally embracing the idea, are more democratic than they were eighteen years ago. And in terms of pure strategy, Russia would be the best bet to deter Iran. The nation doesn't have to accept their way of thinking, hell, they don't even have to like them ! But mutual destruction can make anybody side with each other.
Deterrence by position is a very good way of looking at it.
If both the US and Russia stood together in Iran's nuclear position, this would lead China to reconsider its own. We all know that Iran wants to further relations with Russia because of its proximity and its own nuclear power. This would ensure that the US would not be able to use the area around the former Soviet Union as a jump point in getting to Iran should a missile be fired.

So if that's Iran's strategy, then why not try and beat them to the punch ? Why not try and get a partnership going before all of that happens ? Answers : Cold War and Communism.
President Bush and the nation still can't seem to get over the idea that the Soviet Union fell and that there is no more Iron Curtain to prevent relations. The more I see it, the more I begin to realize that Bush like most Americans just want to fight for an ideology and once that comes to pass, they couldn't give a shit about what happens next. Clinton did it when the Commie barrier was finally broken through (after all of the efforts by the far superior Reagan administration), and the sudden culture and economic shock brought Russia plummeting down a toilet. And where was the mighty US to help out ? They were in the same place they were when Bush Sr. told the Kurdish people they needed to stand up to Saddam.
And now Bush is asking everybody why nobody wants to follow his lead - Does he really have to wonder ?

Profiling According to Coulter

Note : Written in response to articles found in "How to Talk to a Liberal - The World According to Ann Coulter" (Three Rivers Press, New York)

Ann Coulter is the S-Word.
Not the R-word, not entirely in that sense, but the S-Word.

Ann Coulter is a Segregationist.

Segregationists like to put things in categories to make life easier for them. For Miss Coulter, it probably looks like this :

Liberal - Conservative
Republican - Democrat
Christian - Muslim
Male - Female
White - .....everything else

Miss Coulter talked about making airports safer by using the racial profiling option that was brought to the head officials in both Washington and the FAA shortly after 9/11, and there couldn't be a more valid proving ground that her view of separation is nothing more than hypocrisy at work.
But before all you Democrats out there begin to say you have my back, I have to tell you that it's not the reason that's hypocritical, it's the content and method she presents.

If Miss Coulter were to have her way, then everybody that looks like s/he was a native of a hot, arid, desert-like country, would be held up at checkpoints, searched, and escorted off planes before take off. Being a realist/paranoid-strategist, I would have to incline in agreement....to a certain degree. If terrorists are responsible for attacks on cities and people (and they are) then there should be no change in treatment for these terrorists based on skin tone, religion, or beliefs...correct ? It so happens that today's terrorists are of Muslim belief and religion, and many of them are from the Middle East, so they will definitely be looked at closer no matter what. And they, and all of you out there, will have to accept it (sorry folks, but it was 19 lads from the Middle East who drove a bunch of 300,000 ton vehicles into buildings) You cannot argue with Miss Coulter's idea - if someone came into your home and attacked your family, there would be very little of us who would say that you wouldn't want to get even and to make sure it doesn't happen again. She's merely stating that the mistakes of a few, will sometimes impact the larger group as a whole.
So if that idea is sound, and it's been definitely proven, then lets look at it on a detailed level...

...Keeping in mind that many Aero-Terrorists seem to be from the Middle East, then most Structural-Terrorists must come from the farmland of America.
If every person of Middle Eastern descent (or Indian descent, since many of them are mis-profiled) must be scrutinized at the airport, then every white person with a southern drawl, driving a pickup truck, should be examined by heavy security when walking into a large building. After all, who could forget about Tim McVeigh and his group of Good Ol'Boys ?
Yes, I know that the first bombing of the WTC was done by Islamic terrorists, but the damage they did in that incident is a firecracker compared to Oklahoma City. Before 9/11, Oklahoma City was considered the worst terrorist act to date, done proudly by citizens born and bred in America. But Miss Coulter's satiric viewpoint does not acknowledge it whenever she talked about profiling because she knows if this was the case, then everybody (including her) would have to go through the same humiliation as honest immigrants do whenever they step foot into an airport. Imagine having to be strip searched every time you entered a new building ? Everybody (including Miss Coulter) would find it exhausting, invasive, and humiliating.
...welcome to being a terrorist.....
That isn't to say that nobody else has gone through some humiliating things in the airport regardless of racial differences (Re : The woman who had to drink her own breast milk), but the realism is that Arabic people have it much worse than us all, and if the United States stands for "Liberty, Freedom, and Justice for All", then in Miss Coulter's world maybe it reads more like : "Liberty, Freedom, and Justice for All.....except if you are Arabic, Muslim, Islamic, or All of The Above....better yet, anybody who isn't remotely close to a white person....."

Miss Coulter will argue that it was because of these Muslim extremists that all three ways of the American Way must now change; they must pay the price for their actions, and that the American public has suffered enough. Isolation is the best policy. But what about the citizens of Oklahoma city ? Or the families who had to suffer with the aftermath ? We got out revenge on McVeigh just like we got it on Osama, so why don't we continue to hunt down more militia's that exist like Al Quaida ? Who's to say that another Oklahoma City won't happen again ? Shouldn't we then be searching everybody who comes into a building who drives a Dodge pick up ?
Miss Coulter will say that Muslims are encouraged by their beliefs, and that the misinterpretations of these actions in the Koran helps to fuel these extremists....and she's absolutely right. But the largest religious following in the world was responsible for the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Salem Witch Burnings, and the Irish "Troubles" between Roman Catholics and Protestants to name a few...and they were all inspired by one little book.

Miss Coulter is just like everybody else in the country - scared of how much everybody else hates America and what they will do. And because of that fear, there is no other way to deal with it other than to get the people who were responsible for causing it...
....and if you can't get them, then get the people who most resemble them.
It's hypocrisy at it's best. I'm sure everybody, including Miss Coulter and President Bush, is happy that the troops are fighting for, and guarding, a hypocritical "freedom".
