To a disabled Vietnam vet: "People like you caused us to lose that war."

"Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism, but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy."



"The New York Times ran a Tom Tomorrow cartoon sneering about Americans who believe with 'unwavering faith in an invisible omniscient deity who favors those born in the middle of the North American land mass.' This is how liberals conceive of America: an undifferentiated land mass in the middle of North America."

The cartoon (http://dir.salon.com/story/comics/tomo/2002/07/01/tomo/index.html) was an attempt to deflate the relentlessly self-praising attitudes of some politicians and pundits, clearly failing in Coulter's case. It's just pointing out that it's a bit arrogant to see ourselves as being the center of the moral universe. The idea that God favors the United States over all other countries is a little bit bizarre (just as is the idea that He favors Saudi Arabia). Too many people believe fanatically that they have God on their side, this is what motivated those damn terrorists. The bitter irony may be lost on some people, like Coulter.



"COULTER: I take the biblical idea. God gave us the earth.

PETER FENN (Democratic strategist): Oh, OK.

COULTER: We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees.

FENN: This is a great idea.

COULTER: God says, "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours."

FENN: Terrific. We're Americans, so we should consume as much of the earth's resources...

COULTER: Yes! Yes.

FENN: ... as fast as we possibly can.

COULTER: As opposed to living like the Indians."

Coulter vs. The Bible



Genesis (Breisheit) Chapter 6

18: But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19: And of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

20: Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every sort shall come in to you, to keep them alive.

""Cheney is my ideal man. Because he's solid. He's funny. He's very handsome. He was a football player. People don't think about him as the glamour type because he's a serious person, he wears glasses, he's lost his hair. But he's a very handsome man. And you cannot imagine him losing his temper, which I find extremely sexy. Men who get upset and lose their tempers and claim to be sensitive males: talk about girly boys. No, there's a reason hurricanes are named after women and homosexual men, it's one of our little methods of social control. We're supposed to fly off the handle."
Anyone that thinks Dick Cheney is sexy is certifiably insane.

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."
But you know, the fact that he KILLED PRESCHOOLERS is totally fine. Right.

not preclude occasional missteps and errors, but in the end, they win the war. Democratic presidents are just the opposite. Battles are won, but somehow the Democrats always manage to wrest defeat from the jaws of victory."

She somehow has forgotten about World War II under Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She tries to explain away Nixon’s two term involvement in Vietnam, and the evacuation of Saigon and South Vietnam under President Gerald Ford. She ignores that the Pentagon Papers disclosed by Daniel Ellsberg revealed a continuous American policy of involvement in Vietnam spanning close to two decades.



"Barry Goldwater ran against Johnson in 1964, saying that ‘I would have said to North Vietnam, by dropping leaflets out of B-52's ‘You quit the war in three days or the next time these babies come over they’re going to drop big bombs on you. And I’d make a swamp out of North Vietnam . . . I’d rather kill a hell of a lot of North Vietnamese than one American and we’ve lost enough of them.’ Democrats explained that Goldwater was a right wing nut who’d get us all blown up . . . More likely, the North Vietnamese would have reacted the way Iranian hostage takers did when Reagan was elected, immediately releasing their American hostages the very same day of his inauguration."

She once again conveniently ignores seven years of subsequent fighting in Vietnam under Republican Presidents. And her homage conveniently omits reference to the consideration received by the Iranian hostage takers for their charity: money and weapons.

Coulter: "Canada used to be one of our most loyal friends and vice-versa. I mean Canada sent troops to Vietnam - was Vietnam less containable and more of a threat than Saddam Hussein?"


The following is an exerpt from a CBC interview.
"McKeown interrupts: "Canada didn't send troops to Vietnam."

Coulter: "I don't think that's right."

McKeown: "Canada did not send troops to Vietnam."

Coulter (looking desperate): "Indochina?"

McKeown: "Uh no. Canada ...second World War of course. Korea. Yes. Vietnam No."

Coulter: "I think you're wrong."

McKeown: "No, took a pass on Vietnam."

Coulter: "I think you're wrong."

McKeown: "No, Australia was there, not Canada."

Coulter: "I think Canada sent troops."

McKeown: "No."

Coulter: "Well. I'll get back to you on that."

McKeown tags out in script:

"Coulter never got back to us -- but for the record, like Iraq, Canada sent no troops to Vietnam.""

Of course, Coulter was dead wrong. In fact, Canada's attitude toward America's war in Vietnam was extremely critical under several governments of our neighbor to the north. For example, when Prime Minister Lester Pearson--who'd won a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in defusing the '50s Suez crisis-- gave an April 2, 1965 speech at Temple University calling for a pause in U.S. bombing of Vietnam, he was the subject of rather notorious treatment by Lyndon Johnson at their subsequent meeting: LBJ grabbed the much smaller Canadian by the lapels, lifted him off the floor, and hollered, "You pissed on my rug!"

Pearson's successor, Pierre Trudeau, signaled his attitude toward the war in Vietnam when he granted political asylum to tens of thousands of draft-age Americans who fled to Canada to avoid having to fight in Vietnam, saying: "'Those who make the conscientious judgment that they must not participate in this war ... have my complete sympathy, and indeed our political approach has been to give them access to Canada. Canada should be a refuge from militarism."

I could go on.
