Ann Coulter's Birthday Wish for Bush (and a Michael-Moore-Free Definition of Patriotism)

By Ann Coulter

In response to: What does patriotism mean to you?

Being really proud of America whether your husband is running for president or not. You know how Michael Moore feels about America? It’s the exact opposite of that.

In response to "Sunday is President George W. Bush’s birthday. On this 4th of July, do you have any special birthday wishes for him?"

Thanks for not letting Muslim terrorists kill me this past seven-and-a-half years. I owe you one, big guy. Don’t think of it as getting older; think of it as your birthday cake’s carbon footprint getting bigger!

Hi Juanita, That shows Ann has a formidable back round, better than BO’s actually.

“Being really proud of America whether your husband is running for president or not…” In the interest of fairness, Ms. Coulter, Mrs. Obama’s quote was, “For the first time in my adult life, I am REALLY proud of my country.” Emphasis provided, to denote the emphasis she placed on the word “really.” That does not mean that she was not proud of her country in the past. In its context, she was referring to the participation of younger people in the election process, which had not been as significant thus far in her adult life. I respect your right to your opinion, but will give them no regard if meaning is altered to support your position.

Kitty, there’s no point trying to correct Mr. Coulter. She knows the truth, she just doesn’t care.

She answers to her paymasters, Richard Mellon Scaife and the Heritage Foundation, etc….the truth is not of interest. In fact, it is a silly notion.

You mean she doesn’t talk YOUR version of the truth.

How do you regard their America-hating friends, the Pastor and the Weathermen, etc.?

This woman is an abomination. I am very disappointed to see any reference to her on this site. I would ask you to please remove it.

Relegated again to just saying atta girl or yes or you betcha and heck yeah…I can’t begin to fprmulate an opinion like all of you all that post on the serious/political spots… This week there’s been a lot of activity on C-Span because Congress is celebrating les vacances…and we’re paying for it…so there’s been a whole lot of stuff about the role of of the internet/pseudo-journalism, etc…..oodles of panels and so forth…and I guess, if one knew how to find it, you might see it…I don’t know how to backtrack always….I “saw” Roosevelt and Truman in Life magazine as a child and then I actually watched the Eisenhower/Stevenson/McCarthy stuff but then the first thing EVER was the Kennedy-Nixon TV debate…. So here we are with the most amazing election ever….. Excuse me but I’m trying to find a spot here where I can have a voice and I can just keep being in the back of the room…. Yes, she is an abomination…but she’s made a career of that …can you say pariah….sort of makes me momentarily ashamed to be a woman….. In polite/conventional parlance, “dolichchocephalic… sort of means horse-faced…..I never heard of it before Ms. Coulter….Maybe she needs a reverse facelift….and I hope the Duchess of Delete doesn’t get after me about this as RUDE….Maybe a slant board would help……

Ms. Georgia - Come back more often! I have so enjoyed your comments. I’m thinking it’s not a reverse face lift as much at it may be a reverse spirit switch. She has a spirit for……uh, starting to feel ill. A spirit for….errruppp. I just can’t do it….. When I think about our country right now I want to curl up in a ball and die.

thanks, Josie…the occasional response helps…tell you later about how we all used to try to sleep on a head full of rollers….maybe you know about that….yowch…. since the news is 24/7 about politics and the GOVT, I just want to hear more about helpful household hints, budget busting tips.,not to mention hot perfume tips…… and I’m telling you, it ain’t Wal-Mart…… I do go there. however when I have to dress up…..I ask Brittany/Tiffany/Courtney to unlock it so I can have a little squirt…iThat’s the perfume lockup.. While I’m at it, wow, I just really don’t want soap or shampoo or anything else that smells like food….Toatma-Rasberry hair conditioner? Cucumber what? Ridiculous Have you noticed that perfuming rooms is getting as big a business as plaque removal and erectile dysfunction on the news that we are all supposed to listen to…..? What I want to say after all the fine print and fast talking they do (the ads.)..and the adult onset of Tourette”s Syndrome…… Makes me want to………you guessed it…….just scream……in public…with no apparerent reason….. I just want to leave all the really brilliant stuff to all y’all cause c an.t. I don’t even know how to make a decent paragraph indention…but I will call tou on spelling, I think…. Tou…It’s sort of the French familiar….Tu..It’s just that I can’t type worth a hoot…. I’m thinking about “first responders”..that would be you? Everybody who paid attention quickly… Still the ugly stepsister upstairs with the measles while the other one gets to go to the party….. There are so many opportunities for commentary..I like the one about adding years to one’s age…this week I have been happy to announce to a 22-something that I was sixty-four and a half…..’member when you added the halfies to be bigger….?.
