I think she's GREAT for the movement and have thought so since the first time I saw her on cable, now years ago.
She is dead on about the 9/11 widows, too.
He defended our nation, restored morale, respect, and power to the military, revitalized the conservative movement, supported the cause of life time and time again, displayed Christian compassion and family values, returned honor, civility, and integrity to the White House, and provided steady leadership through all the screams and catcalls from both sides of the aisle.
Not only is he good for conservatism. He's great for America.
As for Ann, she could cut a bit close but overall, she's very good for conservatism.
She's a gadfly, an instigator; our side's answer to Michael Moore. Makes a bundle of money telling a partisan audience what it wants to hear. I've always thought of her as a type of stand-up comic.
I believe in Creation, but that does not lead me to follow the rapture business. Creation is clearly taught in the Bible, but people have the right to follow their own light.
Just don't paint all of us with the same brush.
Why is Ann bad for debate?
There is nothing better than watching some second rate liberal on a prime time argument show start throwing spittle at Ann who usually cleans his/her clock.
They hate her because she is effective and uses their own tactics.
Personally I think she is a net positive.
Her 'over-the-top' rhetoric turns off a lot of people; But by the same token, even more people need to be 'beat over the head with a 2X4" to grasp even the most basic realities.
In her facts, she is rarely wrong. In her delivery of those facts... Well, I don't like to admit it, but she turns off a lot of people, even me, upon occasion.
Welcome to the Canadian Vietnam Veterans Memorial Home Page
From the site: "Since 1959 when the United states officially entered the Vietnam war approximately 40,000 Canadians voluntarily joined and served beside their brothers and sisters from the United States in all branches of the U.S. armed forces. Who can explain as to why they volunteered to serve in Vietnam. Perhaps it was because they believed in the right to choose, the right to liberty, the right of unrestrictiveness and privilege. Maybe they believed in Freedom and chose to fight for it. Sometimes we take what we have for granted, for those of us who enjoy freedom on an every day basis, we have those who fought for it to thank."
You are a newbie here. Educate yourself before making obnoxiously ignorant posts as this mendacious CBC interview.
I think she's great for conservatism - especially her writing. Every cause needs a bulldog that goes after the jugular. I wish the republicans in congress had some of her convictions and spirits.
You can't defeat an enemy by playing nice, nice and worrying what the enemy [MSM et al] says about your unfair and brutal tactics!!
Of course she is.
But of course she was "harsh" and "judgmental".
The judgmental thing is something even a lot of oh so sophisticated, nuanced and enlightened, "conservatives" soil themselves over.
"Canadians voluntarily joined and served beside their brothers and sisters from the United States in all branches of the U.S. armed forces."
Canada didn't send troops, people in Canada left Canada to come to the US and serve the US military. Canada itself did not commit troops.
quib·ble Pronunciation (kwbl)
intr.v. quib·bled, quib·bling, quib·bles
1. To evade the truth or importance of an issue by raising trivial distinctions and objections.
2. To find fault or criticize for petty reasons; cavil.
Yes I'll answer. NO!
Also from the website you posted:
"At the time Vietnam was considered a friendly state by Canada "
You are obviously a koolaid drinker. Bush's incompetence in office is so clearly demonstrated by his total inability to express himself, his idiotic compassionate conservatism which was just another way of justifying becoming the consumate New Dealer of his age, his repudiation of national sovereignty by leaving our borders open to every criminal and terrorist who wishes to come in, his kissing up to the Kennedy's and Clinton's, his unbelievable conduct of a politically correct war in Iraq which led to the loss of both Houses of Congress, a full retreat from conservative positions by almost all republican politicians and will surely lead to the loss of the presidency in 2008.
She's great for the movement, hence the constant denouncement of her. She's saying the things I feel most of the time and the things that politicians are too cowardly to say themselves. So she spices it up a little, nobody is perfect.
And 10,000 Canadians served in Vietnam in American uniform.
And this is their War Memorial
What movement?
The current president is not the problem; the real problem is the lack of a conservative contender. The conservative banner was dropped before GW ever took office, and it is being stomped into the ground by its own army.
