The latest showdown between Ann Coulter and Meghan McCain illustrates the sad state of American culture.
Meghan's father, the presidential candidate, underwent somewhat of a time warp while held as a POW in Hanoi during the 1960's. Consequently, he was never subjected to the media propaganda which accustomed millions of Americans to view baby killing as a woman's right to choose. I personally feel that with the birth of octuplets to a deadbeat mom through
in vitro, who already had six children similarly conceived, that the time is now right to rethink the whole notion of choice and reproductive rights within our court system. This is one area in which Ann and I agree.
On the character issue, Ann was right from the beginning about McCarthy and also about the Clintons.
However, Ann has also taken some extreme positions from her libertarianism which have been dead wrong. Her libertarian idol Ayn Rand held up a vicious murderer in California as an example of male strength of character. This kind of ego-centeredness is what caused America to fall for the fraud and swindles of greedy liberals. It is no coincidence that Octomom's feminist lawyer Gloria Allred has just rewarded her irresponsibility with a new home for her and the kids in a well-to-do suburb of Los Angeles with all expenses paid. This is after the woman blatantly deprived all of her fourteen children of the parental love which is only possible through conception and birth in the ordinary God-given family way. A fine example this pro-choice lawyer is for young women.
Ann was also wrong several years ago about the California recall beauty contest in which she favored pro-choice bodybuilder Arnold Schwartzenegger who ended up practically bankrupting the state with his support of billions of dollars in unethical embryonic stem cell research. At that time Ann called the responsible conservative challenger Tom McClintock a wonk.
So Ann is right about half the time and wrong about half the time. That's not a bad batting average when compared to her liberal adversaries such as Whoopie, Oprah and Gloria who never hit a home run.
