Conservative Coulter<\/a><\/p>\n

She frequently <\/p>\n

called Liberals elitist and, because of their public schooling, inherently unintelligent<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Why anyone respects a <\/p>\n

word from Ann Coulter is beyond me. She lauds the American fascist Joseph McCarthy and repudiates ALL of the people who helped bring <\/p>\n

about the Civil Rights movement — there’s a never-ending war that built something.<\/p>\n

The stunningly-elitist Ann Coulter says liberals, <\/p>\n

along with being traitors and un-American, are elitists (huh?) and can’t reason because we all went to public school — what an example <\/p>\n

of reasoning that is. Just what is the MIT of Christian home schooling, Ann? How many global-warming-denying creationists have won the <\/p>\n

Nobel prize? Or advanced science in any<\/b><\/i> way?<\/p>\n

The self-righteous right dominates public discourse because they are <\/p>\n

relentlessly aggressive bullies<\/b> and stunningly over-confident (after all, they believe god is only on their side). One cannot discuss <\/p>\n

color with people who only see black and white and, worse, insist that seeing color is a defect. This kind of conservative doesn’t <\/p>\n

simply lack nuance, she despises it and ridicules the ability to see more than one aspect of an argument (critical to what used to be <\/p>\n

called reasoning).<\/p>\n

This has little to do with the quality of anyone’s education or faculties; it has much to do with hubris. Pride <\/p>\n

goeth before the fall, Ann. We’ll try not to laugh too hard at your inevitable come-uppance. Not that you’ve demonstrated the slightest <\/p>\n

compassion or grace to us. mjh<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
