Actually I beleive I'm right. Other than a few token tax cuts Republicans aren't all that different than Democrats. They have gone on a spending spree that would have embarrassed Bill Clinton
Using your logic, America itself would rightly be described as the country of welfarism, legally enforced racism and corporatism via tariffs, anti-trust and the rest. And so it is
As you say. However when you say
Compared to other nations, it is a shining star, a city on the hill. So, too with the Republican Party.
your logic fails. just because the Republicans are marginally better than the Democrats is no reason to wholeheartedly embrace them. And a third party strategy works wonders. Ralph Nader forced the Democrats much farther to the left by being a spoiler.
You must be more gentle with those whose sensitive constitutions are not capable of absorbing the finer points of political trench warfare, of which Coulter is a master! ( LOL)
If you look at what happens in England in parliamentary debate, you will see that Coulter has other companions in the World of politics. Also there have been times when in America, there have been episodes of political trench warfare, the Swiftboat veterans and their successful expose of Kerry is but one example, which saved our nation.
Anne should be conducting workshops on political trench warfare for the Republican caucuses, in both the senate and the house. These weak-kneed old boys need some testosterone, and what better person to invoke it than a sexy ectomorph who wields a razor sharp, two edged sword.
They could even be held in secret.
Anne Coulter is the sexiest, strongest and most dedicated conservative in our nation. She is an excellent example on how to aggressively attack Democrats on their own weak- kneed, Utopian culture which would destroy America, if we but let them. She therefore is a source of unerring hope , a beacon in a wasteland of politically challenged consensualists (RINOs) willing to sell out our traditions of freedom for a few pieces of silver. Coulter crucifies them without apology, screws them in every possible position, 6 ways to sideways. She is a walking , talking version of a political karma sutra on how to screw democrats, make them pregnant, and have them liking it in the end ( no pun intended).That is why Democrats are both magnetized and repulsed by her at the same time. Many of we Conservatives would marry her in a New York minute, and she knows it.
Love you Anne, keep hitting them hard , and often. Look after yourself, and know that we true, fighting conservatives are with you, even if you don't need us!
Few things are capable of embarassing Bill Clinton. The overspending of Republicans certainly is not one of them. Bill Clinton's universal health care plan was defeated only because Republicans stood united against it. As a percentage, the nation's deficit is smaller than at ANY time during the 1990's... Thanks to those "token" tax cuts which are driving the economy's growth so fast Ben Bernanke wants to slow it down.
One great Republican once said of another great Republican that
His great mission was to accomplish two things: first, to save his country from dismemberment and ruin; and, second, to free his country from the great crime of slavery. To do one or the other, or both, he must have the earnest sympathy and the powerful cooperation of his loyal fellow-countrymen. Without this primary and essential condition to success his efforts must have been vain and utterly fruitless. Had he put the abolition of slavery before the salvation of the Union, he would have inevitably driven from him a powerful class of the American people and rendered resistance to rebellion impossible. Viewed from the genuine abolition ground, Mr. Lincoln seemed tardy, cold, dull, and indifferent; but measuring him by the sentiment of his country, a sentiment he was bound as a statesman to consult, he was swift, zealous, radical, and determined.
This might just as easily be said of the Republican Party as a whole. One must always judge human institutions by their relevant alternatives. No political party is perfect just as no church is perfect just no economic or political system is perfect. The Constitution and Libertarian Parties are both isolationist in their foreign policies, the Libertarian Party supports open borders and the Constitution Party holds the Nader position on free trade. For all its faults, the Republican Party is well to the right of either when all of the positions of each are taken into consideration.
Speaking of Ralph Nader. his "influence" on the Democratic Party was mainly to make it lose, just as the Bull Moose Party of Roosevelt made the Republicans lose. As Rush Limbaugh has said, there's no such thing as winning by losing. That's why Ann Coulter is a Republican and thinks the idea of voting Constitution or Libertarian is self-defeating. "Trench warfare" is about facing reality and from there. She does this, and does it very well, and we should all learn from her. Anyone who has read her Treason or High Crimes understands that the Democrats are far more bad for the country than the Republicans are good for it. Clinton's negligence already weakened the United States by refusing to take Bin Ladin when he was offered up, cutting and running in Somalia, and any number of ways too long to go into. Anyone who thinks the two main Parties' differences are trivial is sadly mistaken--- and it is a vicious insult to Ann Coulter to mislabel her as one of those misguided, benighted souls.
