Superficial beauty maybe, but these fugly women on the left are ugly in their soul.

[RWG]

Ok, that's the way it looks from here. But remember what morris and car-evil are able to do with campaigns. Car-evil did a lot in Isreal to change things. There is a logic here that they are using. The sooner the right figures out what it is and how it can do the same thing for its agenda the sooner we'll be better off. However reprehensible the left is in the tactics it uses, it does get its agenda implemented. The right has to do the same thing to turn things around.

[Militiaman7]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

bttt

[hinckley buzzard]

"They are doing something that allows them to capture enough of the electorate.."

It's not hard RWG. Their platform is,"Vote for us, and we'll take a bunch of money from other people and give it to you."

It's just that simple. Logic? No. Letting human nature take its course.

Barbra has been amazingly silent in recent months. I wonder why she hasn't spoken out in favor of Arafat? And I do also think most Americans are getting very tired of the liberal politicans and liberal media. Add the liberal, beyond dumb, entertainment jerks, and the whole bunch really just look and sound plain, ordinary STUPID. God Bless Ann Coulter.

[Aric2000]

I feel rather proud, I helped with the intitial idea of Oregon Mag, and look what Larry has done with it.

Nice job there Larry, pretty proud of you for what you've done there.

[RWG]

I don't think it is as simple as that. I have seen surveys where taxpayers were willing to continue at current rates if they were assured that the debt would be paid down. I have also seen other surveys that indicate that taxpayers are willing to pay for services. What we ought to be looking at are things like tax loopholes and the farm bill. Whatever the voters think they are voting for themselves is hardly a drop in the bucket when compared to all of the corporate welfare, farm bills, and tax loopholes which are not items for which voters cast ballots.

Last year, when the people of CA were being urged to conserve power due to the power crisis there, Streisand publicly advocated that people air-dry their washed laundry rather than dry it in the dryer.

LOL. Do you think Babs would every stoop to hang out HER laundry to dry?

[jackbill]

You should be proud. Sounds like a great magazine. I particularly liked their take on George Stephanopolous or whatever his name is. Check it out at:

[WaterDragon]

I agree, jackbill, and that Steppy piece is a hoot!!

[gunnedah]

The reason they dont is because these people you mention are not ugly.The word ugly could not possibly descibe them.I think my grandmother use to call them homely or something like that.

Slander [Ann Coulter Book Review]

Excerpt:

It is not so surprising, really,  that the mainstream media, without fail, attacks Republicans and other conservatives as "evil," rich," "homophobic," or "just not getting it,"  and consistently praises the most pathetically inept and/or corrupt Democrats as "fighting for the little people", or perhaps as "the most intelligent woman in the world".  Many of the liberal media stars are former Democratic party workers, or were on the staffs of Democratic politicians. Several pages of the book are required for a partial list of them.  Liberals insist that disclosing these political ties to the public is not necessary, since their reporting and commentary is always "fair" and "balanced!" 

Having a lock on the mainstream media means the liberals never have to question their devotion to what is, in most respects, a religion -- socialism, which is a two-class system of government comprised of superior, elite (rich) rulers and grateful, adoring (not rich) servants.  Since they refuse serious debate and are frequently successful in silencing conservative voices, liberals don't think anyone will (or should) notice when their arrogance finally  becomes news. After all, they are rich not because they worked for their wealth, but simply because they are "good" and deserve not only the finest life has to offer but they also deserve not to have contact with the unwashed poor or that hated, soon-hopefully-to-be-taxed-out-of-existence middle-class who aspire to life's amenities and pleasures themselves. 

Early this year, Coulter tells us, David Geffen, Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg, and other of the  fabulously rich Hollywood elites, erected  illegal chain link fences to keep normal citizens from using public beaches that happened to be next to the liberals' beachfront homes.  "The California Coastal Commission was forced to intervene to demand that the Hollywood  left stop blocking access to the beach."  Like their favorite, though impeached, president, the left considers themselves above the law. 

Despite the liberal media's years of propaganda and role-modeling for us on television and in the movies, drumming into the minds and hearts of America the image of the left as the true reflection of America -- intellectually, culturally and politically --  not many of our citizens buy into it. Slivers of the East and West coasts, enclaves in Florida, dependent government  bureaucrats, and fearfully deceived minority members, are all they can count on. America's interest in liberal newspapers and television programs continues a downward spiral. The reason for that is that Americans are generally a hard-headed, can-do, practical, sometimes religious people who have the sense to recognize that when someone lies to you a lot,  probably they want something from you they have no right to possess.

Hi, MnM. I'm headed out to the pool to read Ann's book. Ann is a really good name. Just ask my lovely and beloved daughter. Now that she is interning with Army JAG, we are calling her BeastieAnn. Sounds more warrior like. LOL

This is an outstanding book! A must read from any conservative. I just have 25 more pages to read before I start BIAS. Darn excellent book!

Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right
by Ann Coulter

---

The immutable fact of politics in America is this: liberals hate conservatives.

Ann Coulter, whose examination of the Clinton impeachment was a major national bestseller and earned widespread praise, now takes on an even tougher issue. At a time when Democrats and Republicans should be overwhelmingly congenial, American political debate has become increasingly hostile, overly personal, and insufferably trivial. Whether conducted in Congress or on the political talk shows, played out at dinners or cocktail parties, politics is a nasty sport.

At the risk of giving away the ending: It’s all liberals’ fault.

Cultlike in their behavior, vicious in their attacks on Republicans, and in almost complete control of mainstream national media, the left has been merciless in portraying all conservatives as dumb, racist, power hungry, homophobic, and downright scary. This despite the many Republican accomplishments of the last few decades, as well as the Bush administration’s expert handling of the country’s affairs in the wake of the worst attacks on American soil and of the war that followed.

With incisive reasoning and meticulous research, Ann Coulter examines the events and personalities that have shaped modern political discourse the bickering, backstabbing, and name-calling that have made cultural mountains out of partisan molehills. She demonstrates how the media, especially, are biased and usually wrongheaded and have done all in their power to obfuscate the issues and the people behind them, bending over backward to villainize and belittle the right, while rarely missing an opportunity to praise the left.

Perhaps if conservatives had had total control over every major means of news dissemination for a quarter century, they would have forgotten how to debate, too, and would just call liberals stupid and mean. But that’s an alternative universe. In this universe, the public square is wall-to-wall liberal propaganda.

Refreshingly honest and unerringly timely, Slander continues where Bernard Goldberg’s number one bestselling Bias left off.
