Ann Coulter, the conservative provocateur whos been called a hate crime in heels, is coming to Modesto to speak to the Republican Central Committee. Big Stink.

I cant imagine why. She is the sage who said:

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.

I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East and sending liberals to Guantanamo.

Theres a cultural acceptance of child rape in Latino culture that doesnt exist in even the most dysfunctional American ghettos. When it comes to child rape, the whole family gets involved.

liberals are always against America. They are either traitors or idiots, and on the matter of Americas self-preservation, the difference is irrelevant.

Which is why a comedienne recently said of her, Ann Coulter has written 11 books, 12 if you include Mein Kampf.

Equally funny to me is Stanislaus County Supervisor Jim DeMartini, who also chairs the Republican Central Committee: I dont think Ann Coulter is that divisive.

Right? DeMartini, a farmer, employs Latinos. Ask them what they think, sir, about being called peasants whove never flushed a toilet. Just stand clear of the hoe.

Coulter is a rare bird. Shes whip smart. But she foregoes thoughtful conservatism for shock talk. Despite her books, shes less of an intellectual than an entertainer. Only instead of the Borscht Belt she plays the conservative circuit.

Shes a symptom of our times, not the disease. The disease is the urge to caricature and hate people who disagree. Even to hold them to be as Coulter does less patriotic, even treasonous.

Here are a couple responses that made the Modesto Bee. First, two outraged guest editorialists, Debbie Avila and Rebecca Ortega-Harrington.

Jim DeMartini is encouraging the criminalization and dehumanization of communities of color. He is helping to perpetuate a culture of hatred that can, and has, led to violence.

Next, a conservative letter-writers rebuttal.

The real hate speech is coming from the likes of Debbie Avila and Rebecca Ortega-Harrington. Their opinion piece encourages violent protests as we saw in Berkeley last month.

So, bringing Ann Coulter to Modesto can lead to violence, while opposing bringing Ann Coulter to Modesto encourages violence.

Either those hotheaded Modestans easily go beserk, or people fear the polity has become so polarized, the American mind so narrow, that it can no longer withstand provocative speech.

The northern California ACLU sent me a refresher on free speech. You may criticize the President, the Congress, or the chief of police without fear of retaliation, it says. But this right doesn't extend to libel, slander, obscenity, 'true threats,' or speech that incites imminent violence or law-breaking.

It adds, If you grab a megaphone during a riot and yell 'shoot the cop' or 'loot the shop,' you may reasonably expect trouble.

Coulter doesnt do that. She just throws red meat to Republicans, for which she will receive $25,000.

I personally believe forgive me if I can only come up with something trite that America is neither conservative nor liberal. America is the argument between them.

So it helps to listen. Even if the speaker is a genius at pushing your buttons. And when all is said, to distill the shock talk to the serious underlying ideas, if there are serious underlying ideas, and offer better ideas if you have them.

If you dont, read the Federalist Papers, Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville and biographies of the founding fathers. Read a few things by people with whom you disagree.

In any case, enjoy the show. Youre a part of it.

Fitzgerald: Don't lose your cool over Coulter - Stockton Record

President Trumps second travel restriction was blocked by two federal judges - District Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii and District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland.

In Maryland, the judge is believed to have ruled that the government had not offered enough support to show that the ban was a matter of national security.

It is thought that the Presidents restriction discriminated against Muslims and separated people in the US from loved ones in the six affected countries.

Ann Coulter, a dedicated supporter of President Donald Trump, insisted the Republican party were not supporting their leader following the decision.

Speaking on The Hannity Show, she said: On most things, I am disappointed with the Republican Congress, first of all they should be impeaching those two travel ban judges, it is outrageous, it is against the constitution.

GETTYFOXNEWS

Looking at the massive resistance of a pro-American president we finally have, looking at the resistance he is getting, he could use an assist from Republicans in Congress, other than a handful of them, hes not getting it.

Next the notorious supporter talked about how difficult it was for the country to control its borders following the ban being blocked.

She said: Things can turn overnight. When you are bringing in these masses of people who come from very very different cultures, and make it a hate crime to ask them to assimilate.

They have no intent on assimilating.

Ann Coulter

What are we getting out of this? Its one thing if we are bringing in nuclear scientists, or engineers, I dont think we are getting a lot of those.

But the vast amount of refugees, instantly coming in, sucking up welfare, thats meant for our people.

The Trump administration denies that the ban discriminate on the basis of religion and argues that the President has the power to suspend immigration to protect the national interest.

It argues that the ban is an extension of former President Barack Obamas screening of travellers from the same six countries.

Their selective misgivings with Russia are just like their selective alarm with (our ally) Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the nationalist Chinese government, and (our ally) Ngo Dinh Diem, president of South Vietnam.

As explained in lavish detail in Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism, liberals instinctively lunge toward treason.

They say Putin is a thug and a bully who kills journalists. Liberals never used to mind Russian leaders killing journalists. Nor millions of scientists, writers, Christians, Jews, kulaks, Ukrainians and the entire 1980 Soviet Olympic hockey team.

Have you guys heard of the Evil Empire? Now Democrats are hypersensitive to a Russian leaders flaws?

Liberals were cool with the show trials, the alliance with Hitler, the gulags, the forced starvations, the shooting down of American planes and goose-stepping through Eastern Europe.

But that was when the Russian leader was Joseph Stalin or Nikita Khrushchev not the beast Putin!

Back then, liberals were spying for Stalin (Julius Rosenbergs code name: Liberal), the U.S. president was calling the bloodthirsty dictator Uncle Joe, and The New York Times was covering up Stalins infamous crimes. In the storied history of fake news, the Times Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize for his false reports denying the Ukrainian famine, in which more than 7 million people were deliberately starved to death.

As far as the Times is concerned, those were Russias halcyon days!

Back when Russia was actually threatening America with nuclear annihilation, Jimmy Carter warned Americans about their inordinate fear of communism. Sting sang that the Russians love their children, too.

But now liberals are hopping mad with Putin. They could never forgive Russia for giving up communism.

To add insult to injury, Putin embraced the Russian Orthodox Church! This was deeply offensive to fiercely Christophobic liberals.

Russias descent into insanity and madness was clear when Putin refused to allow LGBTQ marches through Red Square. For having the same position on gays as Obama did, circa 2008, Russkies were walking on the fighting side of liberals!

Trumps election victory was the capstone of the lefts rage with Putin. To explain the inexplicable, Putin was made the center of liberals axis of evil, the mastermind of a malevolent plot to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

Thats how liberals became born-again John Birchers, seeing Russians under every bed. Now, no fear of Russia is inordinate. The Russians do NOT love their children, too.

We really could have used some of this fighting spirit about 50 years ago when the Soviet Union sought total world domination and Stalins spies were crawling through the U.S. government. But back then, liberals were blackening the names of Whittaker Chambers, Richard Nixon and Sen. Joe McCarthy. (Later proved 100 percent correct by the top-secret Venona Project.)

Russias loss of the lefts esteem happened very quickly. In 2008, The New York Times editorial page demanded that Obama signal to the Russians that he wants better relations, and complained of the alarming deterioration of Russian-American relations under Bush.

It was considered the height of statesmanship when Obama was caught on a hot-mic in 2012, telling Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility. I understand you.

To hoots of laughter at the Democratic National Convention, Obama said: You dont call Russia our number one enemy not Al-Qaida, Russia unless youre still stuck in a Cold War mind warp.

MSNBCs Rachel Maddow couldnt contain her hilarity over the GOP offering an extra bonus of threatening Russia.

But today, Democrats (and two especially showboating Republicans) are horrified that Trump wants to get along with Russia. Tonight, the threatening evil of Vladimir Putin will be the top issue on Rachel Maddows show, assuming she still has a show. (Maybe she can get a copy of Putins tax returns!)

When the same people who hailed Stalin as a beloved American ally are happy to threaten Putin with thermonuclear war, we may deduce that the lefts newfound Russia-phobia has some seditious objective.

Historically, liberals show their manliness by demanding war with our friends and allies, while methodically undermining Americas ability to fight the wars its already in.

The No. 1 enemy of Western civilization today isnt non-communist Russia. Its Islam.

And who is a key ally in that fight? Russia has been dealing with these troublesome Muslims for centuries. It was Russian officials who tried in vain to warn our blind, incompetent government about the Boston Marathon bombers.

The lefts hysteria about Russia isnt just an attempt to delegitimize Trump. Its the usual Christophobic fifth column rooting for the Islamization of the West.
