Shoot, when I was 21 I'd go for a rock pile if I thought there was a female under it.
Some of the time, regarding Coulter, I wonder whether she engenders the dislike because she is simply mouthy and some folks resent a mouthy woman.
Frankly, I believe we are much more polarized in America than we should be. It's not surprising though. And I'm not sure it's healthy. Time will tell. My observation about this comes from the fact that I was an adult in the '60's and sentient. I remember wondering back then what our country would look like in 30 or 40 years given the actions of the wide variety of activists at that time. The seeds that were planted in the 60's have given rise to a full blown culture war presently. The activists were not dumb. They quieted down a bit, put on a suit, appeared to blend in with the status quo and then took over our political institutions, our media, our educational institutions and some of our religious ones.
The rise of talk radio, the opportunity that the internet, cable and satellite tv presented, fortunately provides a medium for those who object to what the so called social progressives stand for and disseminate: PC, Statism, judicial activism, forcing the loss of freedom to obtain "safety", animal rights, extreme environmentalism and the destruction of borders and nations as entities.
It should be no surprise to anyone that there would be voices like Ann Coulter. In fact, they are necessary. You may not like her. Call her a propagandist if you wish. You would not be wrong, actually. But unless there are strident and insistent voices on the right, eventually we'd go down, as the poet said, "...not with a bang, but a whimper".
No thanks. To Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin etc., I say you go girl.
