I feel compelled to tell you more about Ann Coulter’s speech. She was accused by one audience member for giving us only “sound bytes”, all evidence to the contrary. The speech didn’t start until thirty minutes after it was scheduled, so after being introduced she gave us the following explanation.
“Well folks, I would have been on time, but I was listening to a liberal talk radio show today and I dozed off.”
There was a vast amount of humor throughout her speech, but I’m going to bring to your attention a couple of her main points.
If George Bush had known five years ago that Iraq would be terrorist “flypaper”, he would have been the greatest war genius of all time. But now that we know where the terrorists are flocking we can go to where they are and kill them. The stateless enemy of before now has a state. We are no longer searching for the enemy, we know where they are. Therefore, the Iraq war and the war on terrorism are one in the same. One audience member asked, “doesn’t violence breed violence?” Ann replied, “yes, violence does breed violence, they were violent by killing three thousand Americans on 9/11 and now we are being violent by killing them.” I couldn’t agree more. We are giving the chance for democracy to millions who have never had that chance, that’s what America has always done.
Liberals write the history books. The only thing that the children in the public schools are learning about George Washington was that he owned slaves. They don’t know that he was the father of our great country. They don’t learn about his prayer to God in the snow at Valley Forge. The public schools don’t teach the principles that the United States was founded upon. If we don’t know what makes this country free and what gives us our liberty, then how can we defend it?
Liberals will continue to ooze their ideology into as many crevices as possible, as long as possible. Thank God for people like Ann who are unafraid to speak the truth. They not only point out what is wrong but juxtapose it with what is right. I’m standing over there with them.

This past Wednesday evening I had the opportunity to meet my hero Ann Coulter. You might have to be interested in politics to know who she is, but at any rate she is a great American and accomplished author of six New York Times bestsellers. What she is most known for is her political punditry which is seasoned with biting sarcasm and a fearless pursuit and declaration of the truth. Nonetheless, I was at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina with my father to hear her speak to an audience in McAlister Auditorium which was filled to capacity. After waiting for quite some time in the fourth row from the front, the lights were dimmed and the political science professor at the University came out to present her accolades. Then Ann came out smiling and immediately 99% of the audience stood to their feet and applauded in approval. All 6 feet and 120 pounds of her slight and ghostly figure stood there in her short black skirt, tuxedo-style black jacket with satin lapels and three quarter length sleeves and a collared white shirt. She glided to the microphone as the crowd resumed their seats. Her speech was thought-provoking, extremely intelligent, and riddled with humor. I enjoyed every word. Following the speech there was a Q&A in which she had everything from a marriage proposal to the typical heckling remarks, she answered with her usual poise and right-back-atcha comments in return. After the speech we queued up for a book signing. As I approached her with my copy of Treason to be signed, she greeted me with enthusiasm as I handed her my book. When I walked away I had to ask myself, did I really just meet Ann Coulter or was she only a ghost? It felt like she was a mirage but I have the autographed book and memories to prove otherwise.
So I drove over to Ross the Boss yesterday after work to get my quarterly haircut (or I guess you could just call it a trim), and I waited for about 15 minutes before a lady named Donna came out and called my name to go back. I followed her to the place where they wash your hair and we made the usual smalltalk. Then I went to get a cut and we were talking some more when out of nowhere the conversation turned to Johnny Depp! Imagine that, I can’t even remember who brought his name up (it couldn’t have been me) but immediately Donna’s face lit up. She said…”Oh, I just love him in that Pirate costume and I think he is so funny and weird in that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie.” Of course I concurred with great enthusiasm. So we continued to chat about his movies and then I informed Donna that Johnny Depp is in fact in the Chicago area right now starring in a movie called Public Enemies which is about John Dillinger. She then tells me that her great-grandfather was a cousin to John Dillinger. Who knew? Of course I have no way of proving what she told me, but that is her claim. I’m not sure if I’d want to be in the same family as John Dillinger…but I wouldn’t mind being in Johnny Depp’s family, just sayin.
