The further to the left a person keeps their individual self, the happier they are.

Here is another unhappy email that I received from a conservative:

"Please do not email me again. I have read other articles that you have written and to be honest, we are completely different in every way possible. Most people that I know, have compared me to Anne Coulter. Yes, I am a Christian, right-wing conservative and proud of it! From what I have read, I can see that you are the type that I am fighting against! I just simply ask that you take me off of your email list, as I do not wish to correspond to liberal scum!

God bless,
(Name on file)

When I stopped laughing, I felt sorry for this person. If anyone else here is a Christian, please pray for her, and anyone to whom she compare. My Christ does not put up with false-witness or kicking people when they are down.

Did anyone ever notice how Anne Coulter finds so much to complain about in this world and especially this country? She must be the epitome of unhappy people, is there nothing good in her world? In addition, her unhappiness with the world is always because of someone else or some other group.

Anne Coulter, I consider the queen of ultra-conservative spin. Though it is a bit hard for me to figure if she is serious or just a misguided comedian. I certainly get a good, happy laugh at much of what she has to say.

Here is a young woman who has it all and enjoys so much calling anyone who looks a bit further into things a "liberal". An honest and worthy title made vulgar by, no less than a Conservative Candidate (or his speechwriter or maybe campaign manager). All it took was a bit of spin and an anxious American public.

Once upon a time, "liberal" meant someone who had interpreted the Constitution of the United States in a Liberal manner. Never so liberal, though, as the current Conservatives who take it so liberally that they want to write into the opposite of its full meaning, inequality to a section of the people of the United States. I wonder who will be the next section of people to go.

The Jewish went first in Germany. To the best of my knowledge, the Christians went first in old Russia.

Speaking of "Christians", when did being Christian become stoning those seen by conservatives as the least of God's children? It seems the Ultra Conservative Christian Right will always find someone to blame for the ills of their little perfect world. Most "Liberals" just look at them and think, "Ah, that's just the way some folks are."
