Ann Coulter is a moron.
If Ann Coulter is any wing, all she would be is a wingnut.
The only reason why Ann Coulter is in the spotlight is because she's a complete fucking retard.
People like to listen to Ann Coulter's bullshit for two reasons - either they are nutbars that actually agree with her, or they are political enemies looking for an easy way to demonize parties seemingly on her side of the debate (which she makes all too easy).
The odd thing is, my views would be considered conservative/right wing/whatever in Canada, but at the same time would probably be considered extremely left leaning by American standards. Yet by using the term conservative I seem to share some ideological link to moronic Coulter and Carlson lovers in the United States.
To suggest that stooges like Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson and Cheryl Gallant are a legit right wing view in the political ballgame is like saying Joseph Stalin, Kim Jong Il and Elmer Fudd are socialism's greatest minds.
But maybe what really needs to happen is the political spectrum itself needs to be garbaged. It is too black and white and makes complex problems into nonproductive partisan wars.
Also, the conservative gang is getting a bit too crowded.
For some proof, here are the 4 most prominent groups parading with the conservative/right wing label:
-
The Angry Taxpayers
We have high taxes. We have stupid government. Stupid government spends revenues from high taxes in useless ways. People get pissed off, with good reason. -
The Bible Bunch
It's not bad to base your values on Christian teachings. You aren't harming anyone, who cares?
That said, a load of people like to think that the Old Testament is a book about good political policy and that parliament needs to be saved from eternal damnation.
While nobody really wants to go to hell, these guys usually come across with a huge holier than thou attitude and sometimes have ideas that belong to the dark ages.
The best thing this faction of conservatism could do to is just shut the hell up and let the angry taxpayers do all the thinking. -
The Gun Gang
Face it, the gun registry is very retarded. All the gun registry serves to accomplish is job creation for public servants in Ottawa. Who the hell cares if Farmer Bob has a rifle, what we ought to be concerned about is Mafia George having a Desert Eagle.
Gun control is mostly bullshit. At the same time, be wary of people that like guns a bit too much. -
The Lunatics
The group where Ann Coulter resides as empress. The lunatics usually tend to steal some notes from the bible bunch, then they add in a complete disregard of reality and distorted or just plain wrong view of history. They then spout a bunch of bullshit to news channels hungry for something to stir controversy. This serves to only make the all right aligned political parties seem out to lunch.
For any sane public political debate to happen, the gun gang should be given the task of shooting all members of the lunatic group. Sounds like a good cure all to me.
Yes, I will be the first to admit that the Conservative Party is full of monkeys and meatheads.
But the real tragedy is that the meatheads are the best option we have.
