“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

Go get 'em Ann!


Yesterday, Ann Coulter released her new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism. In it she blasts the Jersey Girls' politicization of the 9/11 attacks in which their husbands perished.

She described them this way (borrowed from Drudge/AP), "that a group of New Jersey widows whose husbands perished in the World Trade Center act as if the terrorist attacks happened only to them."

She also wrote, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much."

Of course this particular line drew righteous indignation from the Left and many on the Right. "How dare she", they wailed, "how dare she question the motives of grieving 9/11 widows?"

These are the same knucklehead lefties who supported mommy moonbat Cindy Sheehan as she traipsed around the country publicly and dramatically "mourning" the loss of her son Casey in Iraq, collecting huge appearance fees, and basking in her miserably drawn-out 15 minutes of fame.

The Jersey Girls are being used just like Cindy Sheehan was used, by the Left in this country to advance their anti-Bush, anti-Republican agenda. You see that's page one out of the Liberal strategy book...trot out a victim of something or other (the more tragic the better) to use as a spokesperson for whatever the Liberal talking-points of the day are. One day Cindy was talking about WMD, the next it was global warming, the next it was sucking up to Hugo Chavez telling him what a great leader he is and how Bush is the biggest terrorists in the world. If anybody ever questions Cindy, they are blasted for being heartless and cruel. "You can't criticize Cindy...her son died in Iraq...that gives her the moral superiority to criticize Bush all she wants."

Fine but when is the last time anybody heard her talk about her son? She and the Jersey Girls have been co-opted by the Left to lend legitimacy to their otherwise ridiculous and unpopular policy stands. They believe they have righteous authority as grieving widows and are above question, especially by conservatives.

Which brings us back to Ann. When she wrote, "I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much", obviously she didn't mean that they were laughing and having fun at their husbands untimely demise. Obviously, she was pointing out that the Jersey Girls and Cindy Sheehan are running around profiting from, reveling in, and prolonging their victimhood.

Ann Coulter is right on the mark as usual! Hillary Clinton, Matt Lauer, Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman and all the rest can get their shorts all in a big indignant bunch over it but it's absolutely true...only Ann Coulter is one of the few who has the guts to say it publicly.
