Ann Coulter Speaks (Kinda)

Actually, she responds to an email interview; for some crazy reason, she doesn't trust the liberal media to print her answers accurately.

Some good stuff, some vintage Ann, but I liked this especially:

Q: Why don't you convert to libertarianism? You and John Stossel could get married and save America.

A: Libertarians are potheads posing as right-wingers. But John Stossel is a fine fellow. I just don't think I could go along with working "give me a break" into the wedding vows.

Yup-yup. Libertarians are nice people and all, but seriously, a political philosophy has to be built on a more vigorous intellectual foundation than Weeeeeeeeeeeed! Weeeeed! Weed, man! Weeeeeeeeed!

I mean, seriously. Conservativism goes back to John Stuart Mill, Edmund Burke. People like that. Big thinkers.

Near as I can tell, libertarianism was born after a midnight showing of Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams.

And reliable sources inform me that most votes for a libertarian candidate are cast due to losing a bar bet of some sort.

Come on, libertarians. Straighten up. Fly right. Come in on the winning team for the big win.

Uh, Ace, why didn't this turn up first on your blog?

With your cries of "Weeeed!" I thought you were channeling Bill & Ben, not Cheech & Chong.

Damn, I guess that means my chances of getting a more conspicuous link are down the shitter.

I didn't register as a Libertarian- I just voted that way. ish.

You and Coulter couldn't be more right about Libertarians, at least the ones in my state. All they care about is changing cannabis laws. Oh, one guy is obsessed with banning the draft, and seems to have made it his mission in life. I mean, he was trying to get laws passed forbidding it in the 90's.

Ha! Well said, Ace. And as for the two-party system, I posit most wars are not three-sided affairs. Michael Moore, a hungry beefalo, and a plateful of tacos? That's a three-sided affair.

Posted by: Velociman on October 27, 2004 07:08 PM

Um, Ace, John Stuart Mill was a libertarian.

David Hume, now there's a good atheist conservative for you.

You're right about the pot thing, though.

Posted by: See-Dubya on October 27, 2004 07:08 PM

I always liked the definition of a libertarian as "A Republican without the morals." I think that sums up my political philosophy rather well.

Posted by: francisthegreat on October 27, 2004 07:25 PM

There's a big difference between _l_ibertarians, and _L_ibertarians.

Mainly, the little ell folk vote sanely. And I'd call Ann Rand one of the leading lights - though they're calling AnnRandism 'Objectivism' or something.

And francis - I don't think it's without _all_ the morals. Personal property rights/self-defense and a few others can be considered 'morals'.

Posted by: Al on October 27, 2004 09:28 PM

I'm with See-Dubya, Mill was a libertarian. He made me into a Libertarian.

Look, Ann is right that we Libertarians need to talk less about drug legalization. It's but one part of the Libertarian platform, and a fairly unpopular one at that.

For the record, I ran for state house as a Libertarian, but I'm voting for Bush because the Libertarian Party is wrong on the war on terror.

Libertarians are not conservatives. They are not liberals. They are not moderates/statists.

Since folks are talking libertarianism here: check out this long letter to an undecided libertarian blogger from Ohio. HD Miller (at Travellingshoes.blogspot.com) linked to it a couple days ago:

I used to like Ann Coulter but lately she has made some stupid remarks and her latest libertarian remarks show what schmuck she really is. What did Bush say "I once tried blow but I didn't like the smell" rofl. Yes legalization is but one of their many rational ideas. Comming soon to a theater near you: Bush Vs. Kerry - Who ever wins, we lose.

Libertarianjim said==>Libertarian Party is wrong on the war on terror. Really? America's imperialist policty is guaranteed to result in terror just as every imperialist entity throughout history has experienced terror. Why do we support the Saudi Royal Family? Money and Oil. Lets get all of our troops out of Saudi Arabia I personally could give a crap where the price of gas goes, its cheap as hell inflation adjusted here at $50/barrel (was $80/barrel during first gulf war in adjusted dollars).

One wouldn't expect coherent arguments from someone who uses the s/n "gothpunkr."

And one would be absolutely right.

Posted by: zetetic on October 28, 2004 11:24 AM

Of course your use of the "ad hominem" invalidates your views. Your a putz but not in an ad hominem sort of way.

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.
Compilation of Naked Gun intros
That theme gets me charged.
Compilation of all Police Squad! openings. They're all the same except for the last few seconds where they reveal the Special Guest Star and the title(s).
Pitch Meeting: Amazon's new, terrible War of the Worlds
I don't know why these tech monopolists spend so much money on ripoff/sequel/remake slop. I like popcorn entertainment but is it legally required to be terrible?
Lost 90s Mystery Click: College Radio Edition
Well you look fantastic in your cast-off casket
At least the thing still runs
This nine to five bullshit don't let you forget
Whose suicide you're on.

Also:
You wax poetic about things pathetic
As long as you look so cute
Believe these hills are starting to roll
Believe these stars are starting to shoot

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: Garrett's Favorite Band Edition
Everybody wants you
Everybody wants your love
I'd just like to make you mine, all mine
I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Soft weak poop from the early 80s Mystery Click
I never liked this song, but it is memorable. In a weak, annoying way.
The kid's in shock up and down the block
The folks are home playing beat the clock
Down at the golden cup
They set the young ones up

Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)
Nobody

Earthquake off Russian coast sends tsunami waves towards Hawaii:
Nick Sortor
@nicksortor

BREAKING: Tsunami waves of 3-12 FEET are possible in Hawaii, per the Tsunami Warning Center

Tsunami expected to arrive on Hawaiian shores within hours

Coastal evacuation ordered in Honolulu
Warnings for the California coast as well. Impact expected at 12:15
Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
