Coulter Strikes Again

WARNING: The following rant may be long, somewhat incoherent, and contain obscene language.
I made the mistake of watching Dr. Phil after work yesterday. He had a panel on the show discussing the Obama presidency, including none other than Her Royal Majesty, Ann Coulter. She was misinformed and ignorant-- as usual. She attempted, in a rather feeble manner, to defend her single moms comments. She said that our culture glamorizes the single-mother lifestyle and that the poor have allowed themselves to become victims. The fact of the matter is that eight years of a Republican administration have ruined our economy. (If you study our nation's history, you will see that the GOP has had a tendency to do this. e.g. Herbert Hoover.) Coulter continued to go off on Barack by claiming that he's a Muslim, that he didn't take his oath of office on a Bible, and that his middle name is "Hussein." For starters, Barack is a Christian. Secondly, not everyone in this country is a Christian. And, finally, "Hussein" is simply an Arab surname that's actually about as common as "Smith" or "Jones." Give it up, Ann! Your party is in the crapper. Face facts. No, Barack won't be able to solve all our problems, but we, the people, have to pull together to help him try. As long as he doesn't get us into any more pre-emptive wars and keeps it in his pants, he'll be a relatively excellent two-term president. I have to credit Dubya for one thing: He's lowered expectations for all our elected officials and public servants. As for Dr. Phil himself, he's a neo-con Neanderthal jackass of the highest (excuse me, lowest) order. From this point on, I'm boycotting his pathetic "talk show" indefinitely.
