12.26.2005    |    Ann Coulter: you go, girl!
Here's a little tidbit from a slinky blond member of the VRWC (her December 21, 2005 column)
Which brings me to this week's scandal about No Such Agency spying on "Americans." I have difficulty ginning up much interest in this story inasmuch as I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo.
Now, the question is, "Is she serious???" Three question marks. Previously, if memory serves, just after 9/11 she wrote something along the lines of, "let's invade the Middle East, kill their leaders, and Christianize everyone."

I thought she was joking. Ha. Ha. We used to call something like this "exaggeration for emphasis." But I suspect that there's a hard kernel of truth in what Miss Ann writes. After all, if the Middle East were actually Christian, there'd be no jihad against us Christians. Just the usual tribal warfare that the stupids engage in all 'round the Arab world. Since we're not one of their tribes, and we've got really big guns, I suspect they'd leave us the hell alone.

But they're not Christian. So they don't leave us alone. And the Arab stupids* are joined by the Iranian stupids, with only their "religion of peace" (or was that "pieces?") in common. And you have to ask if we'd have a safer country if we did exactly what Miss Ann writes.

Safer, no doubt. Better? Depends on your ethnicity. Which shouldn't matter, and, as a matter of law, does not matter. And, getting back to that religion thing, turns out that many Arab-Americans are Christian, and came here to get away from the Islamofascists in their native lands.

_____
* For all you bleeding hearts: I use "stupids" to describe what many Arabs and Iranians do, and what they profess as their beliefs, e.g. infidels should be killed, Jews use the blood of Christians to bake matzoh, etc. In this they are nothing but encouraged by their government-run media. If not actually by the government.

about this blog

I was born, grew up, and went to school in the Bronx, New York -- on the wrong side of the tracks. Got the chance to go to college, so instead of joining the NYPD (the obvious career choice at that time and place), I became an engineer. Spent some years designing things that go boom (or things that take things that go boom to their destinations...), principally for our military. Also took an interesting career turn and for some years was in charge of counter-terrorism for my agency...so I learned something about guns. And when to use them.

I am a believer, in God. Christian. My opinion of most denominations is that they seem to be more concerned with the collection plate and devising intricate rules as to who is in and who is out.

My politics are a mix of conservative and libertarian, as in live and let live. With one exception, I favor small government, maximum personal freedom, coupled with personal responsibility and accountability for one's actions. I also know that there are, and have always been, things that are true, and things that are not. Two problems: Being smart enough to know which is which, and having the guts to act on it. I make no claims...

The exception to small government? I favor a robust national defense, against enemies foreign, and domestic. Or, as Teddy Roosevelt should have said, "speak softly and carry a whole bunch of armored divisions."

This blog will focus on politics, culture, religion, national security. That's pretty much the same territory as the New York Times. Just that I will never label my opinions as "news."
