Ann Coulter is an amoral, unpatriotic attention ho. She is an embarrassment to all decent Republicans, conservative and moderate alike. They should distance themselves from this mean-spirited skank. She’s as loony as Britney Spears, but I feel some pity for Spears and only contempt for the Coult-hearted lunatic. Some choice Coulter quotes:

The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man’s dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet — it’s yours. That’s our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars — that’s the Biblical view.

God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’

Fox News; Hannity & Colmes; June 20, 2001

They’re [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let’s do it. Let’s repress them. Frankly, I’m not a big fan of the First Amendment.

I’d like to throw out a thought. What if we all decided to reconsider what 9-11 means to us. What if we start looking at the event as a lawless tragedy worthy of measured response, but not a catastrophe calling for war?

As NR says “Does ANYBODY remember 2 jet airplanes crashing into and destroying the twin towers? Not to mention the other devastation that occurred that day?” Yes, of course we all remember, we’re reminded constantly that we should all be afraid, so afraid that we must sacrifice our personal liberties in the name of fear. But really, how many of us were personally impacted. My family didn’t lose a job, our govt didn’t shut down, still got my mail, refugees didn’t flood neighboring states, etc. Did this act warrent the huge response: two wars, guantanamo bay, torture, creation of homeland security, 6 trillion dollar deficit?

I believe that the Republican administration wants me to live in fear so that they can concentrate more power and money to the fewest possible people without me raising a fuss. All they have to do is raise up the 9-11 banner and we’re all supposed to fall on our knees and be grateful for their protection. I wonder if we’re all being played like lovely Ann backing Hillary?

[TheHouse]

Jan, incorrect. Iraq housed many of the terrorists and allowed funds to be passed through for terroristic activity. They certainly weren’t the 1st or only country to do this.

Debating whether or not we should have gone to war is futile. It’s like standing at the scene of an accident and bitching about who caused it. The fact of the matter is that we’re there and the job needs to be completed correctly.

I do not think for a second that our President blatently lied to Americans. I believe that he was acting with the best interest of our country based on the information that he was being provided. We’ve already established over the past 8 years that the CIA was flawed from the top down (not created by Bush), so it is plausible that they information that he was receiving was flawed. I’ve stated that George Bush faced decisions that no other person in the history of the great country has ever had to face. As leader of the country, he is accountable but realistically he acts on what his advisors tell him. He was not perfect and hindsight is always 20/20.

As for Bill Clinton, no blow jobs don’t kill people but Bill Clinton did kill morality. He showed every young kid in the United States that the President can blatantly lie. He looked every citizen in the United States in the eyes and lied and it was about something as little as a extramarital affair.

Notice that Republicans “self police” each other when it comes to things that Clinton did (ie, Newt fell from grace when he came clean, the guy in Idaho in the bathroom stall got kicked to the curb, etc). The Libs don’t do that because once again their standards and morals are “moving targets”. One day a BJ is OK and the next day it’s not.

[JanS]

NR….”The fact that OUR President will look America in the eye and LIE disturbs me.” So…should I read this to mean that your present president disturbs you too…since he lied to get us into the war in Iraq? Those WMD’s? Never existed. 9/11? Iraq had nothing to do with that. Just thought I’d ask, since I didn’t want to assume that you are equally upset at “W”….

[JoB]

NewResident,

Nobody can forget the two planes plowing into the twin towers. believe me. no one.

And the 911 commission did not blame that attack on Bill Clinton’s negligence. They did state that there was a possible opportunity during the “lame duck” period of his presidency when he was busy defending himself against charges stemming from a sexual incident with an intern… that he did not give the order to pursue… but they also noted that there was plenty of US intelligence that was overlooked after President Bush took over the presidency that could have prevented 911 if it had been believed.

After 911, President Bush chose to use US resources to invade Iraq, where there were no terrorists, instead of aggressively pursuing the actual terrorists. This did succeed in bringing terrorism to Iraq and expanding the terrorist movement, but doesn’t seem to have done much about AlQuaida… the people who arranged those fateful planes.

There is plenty of blame to go around for this one.

As for Bill Clinton keeping his pants buttoned.. we all wish he had. Like i said on this site already, Hillary ought to have gotten him a puppy sooner.

But i haven’t heard the public outcry from Republicans over Gulliano’s treatment of his wife… or should i say, ex-wife… or the other Republican incidents within the past couple of decades. So upset about cheating seems to have been restricted to Bill Clinton.

One could argue that spending public resources hounding a man to the point where he lied about sexual contact… all for political gain.. actually contributed to 911 because he thought he wouldn’t have the backing of the congress to launch a strike.

I don’t assume that anyone i enter into conversation with is stupid. I certainly don’t assume you are. And i think that it adds to the conversation when all viewpoints are present.

But the trouble is that a lot of discourse is simply inflammatory… and that is not conversation.

My personal issue with Ann Coulter and with FOX news is that they are inflammatory and are often less than candid about the content of their remarks. Lest you think i am beating around the bush… that means i believe they don’t exactly bother making sure what they say is true and they present programs like Hammity and colmes as though they were actually presenting two sides of an issue.

Unfortunately, it isn’t just my belief. Fox news was sued over the truth of the content of one of their news programs and the party suing lost the suit. it seems there is no place within US law that states that a news must be true. It’s just an industry standard that news should be true and there is noone holding the industry to that standard.

Just like the claim that FOX news is America’s most listened to news source. It isn’t. It is only America’s most popular cable news source.. but that gets lost in the telling, doesn’t it.

Now, i believe you are an intelligent persona and that you will check to see whether what i just told you is true.

You can choose to do with that information whatever you think is best.

I can inform, but i can’t form your opinion for you any more than you can form mine.

That doesn’t mean that both of us don’t have intelligent and worthwhile things to say.

[Anonymous]

Wow. Everyone is sooo defensive!! Thanks for assuming that I’m not intelligent enough to debate an therefore am just falling back on the Clinton scandal. The fact that OUR President will look America in the eye and LIE disturbs me. I love when liberals say that a blow job never hurt anybody!! Does anybody have any morals anymore?!! Ken, you even went so far as to share a quote that alludes to the fact that you would have lied in the same situation! Your wife, if you have one, must be so proud. The man was disbarred!! And, you know what, all you bleeding hearts,war is Hell! Nobody likes it, nobody wants it. Sometimes it’s necessary. Does ANYBODY remember 2 jet airplanes crashing into and destroying the twin towers? Not to mention the other devastation that occurred that day? Clean up Bush’s mess? If anyone read the 9/11 Commission Report, they would know that the only reason our Country is in this mess is because of the negligence of former President Clinton! Sorry, I thought maybe there were other Republicans out there. Guess I was wrong. I didn’t see the “Liberals Only” sign when I signed up. Closing this subject…. I’m not going to be ganged up on by a bunch of liberals! Just a tidbit of info… Every great Country throughout history has been destroyed from within.

[JoB]

Ken,

thanks for the empathy and for linking to wikipedia on the shibas. i didn’t think to do that.

I don’t think i have ever had a dog that wasn’t rescue… one way or another. And of these two, only one was from an actual rescue organization. the other came to us from an internet posting by the local pound which would only take him to put him down.

His progress is amazing. And i am going to let a stranger into my house tomorrow without muzzling my dog. That’s amazing. We will see.

[JoB]

LOL.. what did i do?

I have to say that House really said it all on this one:

“As for good ol’ Ann, I think it’s safe to say that she’s got a sense of humor. Hillary is already getting beat by Obama in the Primaries. Anns endorsement for Hillary is the kiss of death for both Clinton and McCain. The Republicans know that Obama is the easier candidate to beat and that Romney is the GOPs favorite right now. Ann knows what she’s doing.”

Thank you for pointing out the obvious. IT WAS ALL A SHOW!!!! A put up job. A campaign tactic.

And yet, she seemed so believable. She was soooo serious when she said she wasn’t kidding.

So house, thanks for pointing out that their “news” program (Hammity and Colmes) was really either an outright lie or some sort of joke… entertainment really.

Wish you’d tell my brother. He thinks that program is real republican/democratic debate.

That is what is called a blatant lie which passed for news commentary on the FOX channel.

Or.. maybe a joke?

I hope you’re right and that woman really does have a sense of humor..

because if she doesn’t, she’s just a liar.

[TheHouse]

Ken, I don’t profess to be an expert on the Constitution or the framers. That was my interpertaion of Clarks quote. That doesn’t mean that I won’t shy away from a good old fashioned debate. Throw the first jab.

As for Coulter, she’s a self indulgent pig and I’m not a particular fan.

I believe that it will be an Obama/Romney race. The GOP has not begun to unload on Obama since they’ve been attempting to keep Clinton at bay (she was the real threat). Once Obama wins the Democratic ticket, the GOP is going to have a field day with him. You’re going to see his lack of experience shine. Charisma and a pretty smile will only go so far.

[JoB]

House, house, house….

and i thought maybe we could be friends.

i didn’t need to take a quiz to find out what i already knew, that the two democratic candidates for President were well aligned on the issues.

But, since you thought John McCain was so liberal, it may surprise YOU to know that he only matched me by 37%.

Probably not my candidate… or any other liberal who actually cares about the issues.

But thanks for looking out for us;-)

[TheHouse]

It figures that liberals need to take an Internet quiz to figure out which candidate they need to vote for. Since most liberals values are “moving targets”, you probably should take the test again tomorrow. You’ll probably score differently.

Please make sure you send President Bush a Thank You card for the $600 check you’re going to receive in a few months!

[JanS]

Hi, House…thanks for the input….and thanks for getting this started – lol…I think the Repubs had better get on the ball at the primaries if Romney is their man…he’s not quite in the forefront right now. Ann Coulter…sense of humor…well, I suppose she thinks she has one. I sometimes feel that she says what she says not because she believes it but because of the impact it makes on others…obviously it’s impacted me in a negative way…and I think she revels in that. And I think she’s impressed with herself…likes to hear herself talk :-) I figured you’d probably like her….hehehe…

[Ken]

Woo hoo!

A new topic

In addition, he states that the country was founded on the priciples of Enlightenment.

This reference is only in regards to the ability to practice religion freely.

If that were true then we would not be able to find and cite any evidence to support that contention in the historical record. Note there are lots of original documents online now and more coming every day.

Is that really a competition you seek to participate in with anything other than the mangled quotes and revisionist history of Federer, Barton and LeHaye?

If this is your proposal, I accept.

You first. :)

[TheHouse]

Thank you all for your comments. Just a few coments:

I have respect for Wes Clark as a soldier and serviceman for our country, but as a politician I have none. His quote listed above by Ken is factually incorrect. Call me anal on this one, but our government is a republic. Decribing it as a democracy is incorrect. In addition, he states that the country was founded on the priciples of Enlightenment. This reference is only in regards to the ability to practice religion freely. The last part of his quote (I’m assuming) he means that “The Right/Conservatives” are not allowing this discourse to go on. That is pattently false and in fact I could prove to you that “The Left” does more to harm free speech, practice religion and hold classes down than “The Right” if I had enough time to spell it out for you.

If Wes Clark is the best lib you can muster up then you’ve got issues.

As for good ol’ Ann, I think it’s safe to say that she’s got a sense of humor. Hillary is already getting beat by Obama in the Primaries. Anns endorsement for Hillary is the kiss of death for both Clinton and McCain. The Republicans know that Obama is the easier candidate to beat and that Romney is the GOPs favorite right now. Ann knows what she’s doing.

[Anonymous]

Geez NewResident, defending Ann Coulter says more about you and your priorities, than her. And how many years has it been since BJgate. How come whenever republicans can’t debate the issues with anything of substance this is their only fall back. But,but,but Clinton….. And Ken, I always enjoy your posts. You’re always articulate and well informed with facts. Often I’m thinking “what he says”.

[JanS]

New Resident…read my lips…I am not threatened by her…I’m disgusted by her…or anyone else who would say the things that she has. Life is too short to constantly be accusatory, to be mean spirited, to make a living by saying some of the cruelest things that she can think of at times. I do not consider her a good source of intelligent comment or criticism. We’re all entitled. If you disagree, then more power to you. I simply don’t like the woman, and that’s my right. Please don’t tell me what I am and am not. You do not know me.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/07/entertainment/main1690954.shtml

that article only demonstrates a small portion of how she feels. I’m sure we could come up with many more…but the attack on 9-11 widows was reprehensible.

You don’t like Bill Cllinton, but I doubt that you’re threatened by him. I do like him. I don’t like the president who lied to us and marched us into a war that has cost the lives of thousands of our young people and maimed many thousands more. I remember another war….another group of men at Walter Reed back in the 60’s that I had the privelege of meeting. Everyone of them was learning to walk with one leg, or dealing with no legs..or just one arm…or a prosthesis where a hand used to be. Heroes all…but what a waste of young life. And this president is now going to leave it to someone else to clean up his mistakes.So don’t talk to me about who will be considered a joke as a president.

What I’m saying is…we all have different feelings about these people. If you admire Ann Coulter, that’s your business…I don’t.

Truce?

[Ken]

Clinton lied about a blow job.

Who was threatened by that?

Did anyone die? Did anyone have their civil rights violated? Did the Clinton Penis (the Clenis tm) violate the 4th amendment? The 9th? The freakin 2nd? Are you asking us to believe there is a single Republican politician past or present who would NOT lie about a blowjob?

It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.”

— Henry Mencken

Bush and his cronies lie as easily as breathing and have casually doomed hundreds of thousands to their death.

Here is a list that has not been updated in a while since the db of lies got to big for the software.

http://www.unknownnews.net/logoflies.html

This is the true moral relativism of the conservatives.

The Clenis is all powerful and threatening to them. And yet the most blatent lies, halftruths and propaganda are accepted even when they contradict last years blatent lies, halftruths and propaganda. Even when there are real people suffering a laundry list of harm from torture to homelessness and PTSD, from the simple appointment of cronies, ideologs, industry lobbiest, fundraises and pious Liberty University chuckleheads to federal agencies.

Come on NR. give us some new lies half truths and propaganda. I hear Fox is going to roll out a new series of them tomorrow to the captive audience at the superbowl. Be sure to take notes.

And note this: telling us we are “mean” does not bother me. But it makes you sound kinda squishy. :)

It’s reasonable to find Ann Coulter offensive, it’s her job to offend and she makes a lot of money being good at it. Read what she has to say about pretty much any subject and tell me how her words are not reprehensible. She may be clever, but I find her message to be dark and mean spirited.

[Anonymous]

For not being threatened by Ann Coulter, you sure have some mean things to say about her. To feel that much hatred for someone, you “can’t stand the woman”, you obviously are threatened! That’s so obvious, it’s funny! For example, it’s ridiculous and appalling to me that former President Clinton lied under oath and was DISBARRED, but yet he is considered by some to have been a great President! I don’t hate former President Clinton and i can actually stand him. He’s ridiculous, but kind of just a joke if you ask me. Has anyone taken the time to read the 9/11 Commission Report, by the way?

[Robindianne]

JoB,

We have a shiba and a mutt. They are good walking together or alone until (yep) we see another dog. We walk all around West Seattle, Lincoln Park, etc and have no problems except for their barking incessantly when we see other dogs.

Our shiba gets his nails dremmilled (sp?) at Petco while we talk to him and pet him. We had basic dog training there as well, and our pup did fine but it wasn’t his turf so he didn’t need to get territorial. (The trainer is who dremmils him)

I want a good trainer as well, just to get him to stop chasing our cats when they run (he’s fine if they remain calm – but, you know, they are cats and don’t really always respond when I ask them kindly to remain calm :) and stop eating the furniture, books, etc.

We don’t go to off leash parks because he’s a runner when his leash is off. He comes back but just on his own time. We use a harness for him and a gentle leader face harness for our mutt (runs for squirrels).

I don’t really have advice but we are really pet friendly so I wanted to give you a response :) and a “bravo” for your rescue efforts. We didn’t exactly rescue Gizmo but he’d been in 3 homes and we babysat him while he was in his 3rd and when they couldn’t take care of him, he became ours. He sleeps with us every night and we just love him! (and our Sadie mutt too of course)

[Robindianne]

Thanks everybody. My goal for the coming week is to call for conultations and get an appointment with at least one acupuncturist. I like the idea of having multiple methods like Miranda Taylor does so I’ll probably try her place first. I’ll post back what I find out.

Thank you again.

Hi! My name is Jackie and I have a training studio here in West Seattle where I train clients privately. The hour long sessions focus on resistance training and flexibility but are not limited to just these modalities. If you are still interested please feel free to contact me at jackiehelton@yahoo.com. Good luck on your quest to better health!

JoB, are you going to be at C&P coffee tomorrow at 4:00? My mother-in-law has expressed interest in meeting you.

[Ken]

Perhaps you’re referring to her recent update of this scholarly classic.

On the heels of her widely successful books on Liberal treachery, Slander and Treason, Ann Coulter is about to publish a special updated edition of one of the most influential political tracts of the modern age.

excerpt:

VOLUME I: A RETROSPECT

CHAPTER 10

WHY AMERICAN SOCIETY COLLAPSED

It must be admitted that all this was partly the result of extraordinary crafty tactics on the part of Liberals on the one hand, and obvious official stupidity or naïveté on the other hand. The Liberals were too clever to allow a simultaneous attack to be made on the whole of their Press. No one section functioned as cover for the other. While the alternative newspaper, in the most despicable manner possible, reviled everything that was sacred, furiously attacked the State and Government and incited certain classes of the community against each other, the national papers, also in Liberal hands, knew how to camouflage themselves as model examples of objectivity. They studiously avoided harsh language, knowing well that block-heads are capable of judging only by external appearances and never able to penetrate to the real depth and meaning of anything. They measure the worth of an object by its exterior and not by its content. This form of human frailty was carefully studied and understood by the Liberal Press.

[…]

I believe that our present generation would easily master this danger if they were rightly led. For this generation has gone through certain experiences which must have strengthened the nerves of all those who did not become nervously broken by them. Certainly in days to come the Liberals will raise a tremendous cry throughout their newspapers once a hand is laid on their favorite nest, once a move is made to put an end to this scandalous Liberal Press and once this instrument which shapes public opinion is brought under Conservative control and no longer left in the hands of Liberals and enemies of the people. I am certain that this will be easier for us than it was for our fathers. The scream of the twelve-inch shrapnel is more penetrating than the hiss from a thousand Liberal newspaper vipers. Therefore let them go on with their hissing.

Frustrated waiting on a tardy hair stylist who is “sorry, running behind today”? Try mine. Yesterday my West Seattle haircutter, Mallory at Salon Effekts (935 7050) actually telephoned me BEFORE I got to my appointment, asking if it was okay to change my appointment just 15 minutes later. HAS ANY HAIRDRESSER EVER CALLED YOU WITH THIS POLITE REQUEST? My experience has always been to find that info out when I walk in the door! What manners! I had enough time to stop for coffee, buy Mallory some flowers and then show up in time for another great and reasonably priced haircut. Mallory – tell your mom she did good. You rock.
