Ann Coulter IS Right...But...

"Democrats have declared war against Republicans, and Republicans are wandering around like a bunch of ninny Neville Chamberlains, congratulating themselves on their excellent behavior.
They'll have some terrific stories about their Gandhi-like passivity to share while sitting in cells at Guantanamo after Hillary is elected.

For a political party that grasps the concept of victory against foreign enemies, Republicans can't seem to grasp that concept when it comes to domestic enemies. Instead of taking a page from Sun-tzu's "Art of War," when it comes to fighting liberals, American conservatives prefer the Jimmy Carter unconditional surrender strategy.

Patriotic Americans don't have to become dangerous psychotics like liberals, but they could at least act like men. Why hasn't the former spokesman for the Taliban matriculating at Yale been beaten even more senseless than he already is? According to Hollywood, this nation is a cauldron of ethnic hatreds positively brimming with violent skinheads. Where are the skinheads when you need them? What does a girl have to do to get an angry, club- and torch-wielding mob on its feet?

There is not the remotest possibility that a man who was recently defending shooting women in the head for wearing nail polish will so much as be snubbed on the Yale campus. The only violence on college campuses these days occurs when people like David Horowitz, Michelle Malkin and me show up to give a speech in defense of America. Then we need bomb-sniffing dogs and a lecture hall lined with armed police. But a Talibanist goes about his day at Yale unmolested.

Conservatives may shrink from confrontation with howling, violent liberals, but as General "Buck" Turgidson in "Dr. Strangelove" informed the milquetoast president still hoping to avert a nuclear confrontation with the Russkies: "Well, Mr. President, I would say that General Ripper has already invalidated that policy."

Well, conservatives, I would say liberals have already invalidated your "Let's all just get along" policy. The violence and threats of imprisonment have started. Now the only question is whether conservatives will choose victory."

Bravo, Ann. But it won't work. That's why it isn't tried all that much. When you don't have the media on your side, any form of quid pro quo will be portrayed as a Conservative attempt to exacerbate global warming, raise gas prices, and nuke the whales, soon to be followed by Valerie Plame's discovery of George Bush's fingerprints on a weakened plank from a New Orleans levee. That's what the net is for. That's why the NY Times is losing readership faster than a David Blaine special loses ratings. People are confused, but not totally stupid. Regardless of what the polls say, most Americans are proud to have a Conservative President, and are still embarassed by the last Liberal to have disgraced the White House.

But psst...that's why they've been called the Silent Majority. Sooner or later the internet WILL shift the balance of perception, but not today. Politicians know this. The one's with cajones live in small towns in small states where they can do a face-to-face dance with the constituency because leaving it up to the mass media means certain defeat.

Don't believe it? John Kerry, John fucking Kerry almost made it to the Oval Office. His cowardice in combat, traitorous meetings with an enemy during wartime, flip-floppings to beat the band, and absence as a legislator meant next to nothing compared to the way the media portrayed him.

NEVER, ever, launch a direct assault against a dug in, numerically superior force. The liberals didn't do it to obtain the power they now enjoy, and neither should the Conservatives in an attempt to reintroduce a semblance of sanity to a tree-hugging electorate.
