Neocon, you're an Ann Coulter fan now? You think she wrote "a good column" and are willing to give "credit where it is due?"

You must be joking.

The column is as intellectually vacuous as most of the others she wrote. It justifies the developing failure of U.S. policy in Iraq by attempting to make a case that Democrats failed in the war against poverty. As if that made it ok. To make matters worse, she attempts to blame two generations of social ills on the Johnson war on poverty. IE:

>>"The War on Poverty took a crisis-level illegitimacy rate among blacks in the mid-1960s (22 percent) and tripled it to 69 percent. It transformed a negligible illegitimacy rate among whites (2 percent) to emergency proportions (22.5 percent)"<<

I'll regain a lot of respect for your ability to think objectively if you can give me a rationale for how the Johnson "war on poverty" primarily caused the illegitimacy rate for whites and blacks to skyrocket. By the way, don't forget the sexual, social revolution if you try to take this one on.

I think that you tend to nod your head a little too much when the speaker attacks the evil "democrats." It's like some kind of trance induced code word that causes you to lose control of your ability to think critically. I can't think of any other reason why you'd think that Coulter's slanted drivel was "good" and deserved "credit."
