Why Conservatives Can't Govern
But like all politicians, conservatives, once in office, find themselves under constant pressure from constituents to use government to improve their lives. This puts conservatives in the awkward position of managing government agencies whose missions--indeed, whose very existence--they believe to be illegitimate. Contemporary conservatism is a walking contradiction. Unable to shrink government but unwilling to improve it, conservatives attempt to split the difference, expanding government for political gain, but always in ways that validate their disregard for the very thing they are expanding. The end result is not just bigger government, but more incompetent government. . .The collapse of the Bush presidency, in other words, is not just due to Bush's incompetence (although his administration has been incompetent beyond belief). Nor is it a response to the president's principled lack of intellectual curiosity and pitbull refusal to admit mistakes (although those character flaws are certainly real enough). And the orgy of bribery and special-interest dispensation in Congress is not the result of Tom DeLay's ruthlessness, as impressive a bully as he was. This conservative presidency and Congress imploded, not despite their conservatism, but because of it. . .
"[S]ince contemporary conservatives get their political energy from angry voices of rage and revenge, they will always blame others for the failures built into their ideology. That is why conservatism so rarely makes for a good governance party. As far as conservatives are concerned, it is always someone else's government, one reason they can be so indifferent to their own mismanagement."

Norm--happy fathers' day to a pretty darned good dad.
I have a strong dislike of Ann Coulter's politics, and even more dislike of her method of performing them. But do we really need another "Ann Coulter needs to get laid" joke? I mean, seriously, sex is wonderful, but it doesn't solve the personality issues and flawed logic of those like Ann Coulter. Worse, when this is how we debate her kind, we make it easier for the right to insult our intelligence and accuse us of hypocrisy. "The only thing a woman who disagrees with us needs is a good f*ing" isn't exactly pro-"women are our equals".
I can't believe my first post here vaguely defends Ann Coulter from the ridicule she flings with abandon on everyone else. I must need to get laid.
Wll phil, she claimed that she is pro-abstinence.
Whether that applies to her or someone else is something she has not been that forthcoming : >
It's best to preach by your own example or don't preach at all.

kes, that is very true. Ann Coulter is not very forthcoming regarding her sexual experience, and I'd hate for her to be a hypocrite. ;)
Still, her book is #1 and a lot of people quite literally think she speaks gospel. I just feel it's better to challenge her assertions than say she's a good lay short of liberalism. As funny as it is, it does nothing to prove her wrong, and that's what is desperately needed.
For the record, I preferred Henry Rollin's love letter to her, but mostly because he kept claiming she should "shut the fuck up," which has been a dream of mine since she entered the political stage. It does nothing for discourse, but sometimes that's not what I want. Sometimes, I just want to insult her in the same way she insults me and mine. It's . . . liberating . . .
Maybe I'm not as opposed to this type of humor as I think I am.
Well I never claim she's a good lay...
But anyway, you don't have to challenge.
Just print out her book. Underline the problematic areas, add your comments, pdf it and e-mail to all the bloggers in Internet space.
Ann Coulter will then become blog has-been.
