Ann Coulter "I Think There Should Be More Jailed Journalists" CPAC Audience Cheers Wildly

Money was designed to be a trade medium. It allows us to exchange goods and services in a more functional way. The problem begins when money begins to self-replicate, when investing brings more to the table than production. This is the issue that the U.S. faces now.

Ayn Rand ideology huh? Markets in today's society are too interdependent on one another for that philosophy to work. The pink elephant in the room that no one wants to discuss is that, there are far too many people making too much money without producing viable work. The percentage of GDP held by the manufacturing sector has been in steady decline over the last half of the century pretty much. With the principle sources of income being service and the financial markets the U.S is now in an extremely vulnerable position to the rest of the world. We simply don't make enough of the stuff we use! Without government intervention the house cards created by this massive influx of 'fiat' money would have coming crashing down. There is no way for America to continue trade with countries that have no where near the economic standing that we do. Its just not feasible. The U.S. needs to bring back the protective tariff and begin investing in its own crumbling infrastructure.

The country has to stop spending itself into oblivion. There is has to be a serious effort to balance the budget through spending cuts and raising revenues. Getting people to spend money is the fastest way to raise taxes and reinvestment. Just taking the money in taxes does not generate business and two-thirds of government spending is lost in administration. Social Security, Medicare and pensions need to be revamped. Then there will be more money for needed public resources such as teachers, police and firefighters. The problem is everyone in DC on both sides of the political spectrum has their "can't touch this" projects.

The biggest transition in the past fifty years is how much money the country gives away in social services for those who just take and never give back. If you want to get upset about the loss of teachers, police and firefighters blame those who have adopted welfare as a way of life or those who want to give them this life. If you give a man a fish he eats for a day. If you teach him to fish he eats for a lifetime.

We also need to blow up the tax code. Get rid of all the deductions (tough sell to the building industry) and come up with a flat personal and corporate tax rate. Our tax code and modifications made to it is the biggest bastardization to our economy. Our economy becomes artificial when government can tweak it with tax breaks. These tax breaks bring short term relief and long term pain. Without deductions the economy would go up and down naturally based on supply and demand. Without the ridiculous tax code lobbyist's clout would be vastly diminished.

I leave this challenge to any right wingers out there.......Give me a legitimate argument for any of your economic or political ideology. Not this crap about Obama is a Muslim, or its the Christians vs the Muslims, or we just want to protect are freedom. Tell me how, cutting taxes and infrastructure programs will help this country. Tell me why we need to furlough teachers and police officers but all of these politicians maintain their full salaries. Lets talk about REAL issues not that garbage misdirection dribble Fox News aires on a daily basis.

The crazy thing is how oxymoronic the statements from righters are. First they advocate armed insurrection at a moments notice (Palanites and Baukmanites) but if it takes place in a country where freedom is truly being supressed then its complete anarchy and the end of all we know. I'm just sayin, truthfully, stop being advocate of rhetoric and be an advocate of ideas.

And you people talk about the right wing media taking the left out of context. During her Q&A she was being very funny. It was a flippant, humorous response. It was a joke. It was funny. She didn't even discern left from right. Had a left winger said it about a right winger you would have laughed. Go get yourself a sense of humor. Libs spend far too much time angry at the world instead of trying to find happiness their own world.

She is Dangerous Conservative TRASH. She wants Freedom for everyone, as long as "everyone" fits Her idea of a Proper person. If you don't support Her views then you should be locked away from society so that Her Conservative Society doesn't have to deal with you. Her Utopia would be Only the people that support Her Ultra Conservative views would be Free, everyone else in Prison and the prisons would be Huge Factories full of Liberal Slaves that support their Wants.
Come to think of it, we are not far from that now. :-(

Republicans are for one thing and one thing only........Maintaining the status quo by insuring that the rich have access to wealth and power and the 'commoners' remain subjugated. Thats why they are so alarmed about Egypt. The moment at which a subjugated group can unite, they can begin to enforce their collective will. So by whatever means necessary, knowledge must be supressed in their way of thinking.

I thought right wingers were FOR the 1st Amendment... ??? They're asking for censorship, unless it's their expression of their own opinion.

I'm thinking of some of the trolls that curse at someone they disagree with and make all kinds of personal remarks in an attempt to degrade the other person based on race or gender or ideology, call names and act like name calling wins an argument but never actually respond to what the other person says.

It's like Republicans in congress always trying to find the easy answer so they can call the other person stupid. They fail because there IS no easy answer, but in the process they gum up the works and then say, "Ha ha! We win because we made YOU fail!"

Another problem I see that this current Congress has is that there is no one who really understands economics speaking about the economy. Economics isn't some kind of black box that can only be opened by the most knowledgeable of people. A person with 'average intellect can understand the fundamentals if they are given the appropriate information. However, republicans know that the real power of their base is knowledge. They push a lot of smoke and mirror rhetoric to keep a lot of their so called constituents out of the know. I can't count the people that I have met that legitimately believe that they are in the top 5% of earners in the US because they make 60k/yr....I'M SERIOUS. A lot of people don't even understand how or (more relevent) if they would be affected by an increase in that tax bracket. This 'new' republican party( you know, not really against abortion or homosexuality) has a lot of 'old' constituents who don't really know what their party is about anymore. They are just accustomed to their ideology.

The US has more people in its prisons than any other nation on the planet - including China . America is truly a Prison nation and it is beyond hypocritical for the US to preach human rights to other nations.

Recently Biden called on Iran to release its prisoners - this while America has the most prisoners - mostly for non-violent offenses like marijuana possession; many thousands for minor civil offenses due to draconian mandatory sentencing and three strikes laws.

Our prisons are hell holes of abuse, rape, diseases, over-crowding, suicides, gang activity, etc.

They have been largely privatized, run by for-profit corporate interests and designed to humiliate, punish, abuse and institutionalize inmates rather than rehabilitate them.

As a result American prison produce more criminals, promote mental illness and eventually release these non-functioning, violent, angry, revenge-seeking, mentally ill prisoners back onto our streets.

And these conservatives believe we need to be more barbaric and savage and imprison respectable journalists who dare to exercise their constitutional right and their duty to report.

This is fascism.

The last time I think I saw Coulter was when two feet of her was sticking out from beneath Dorothy's house.

Its good for everyone to have a voice in our democracy. Here's the thing though; have something legitimate to say when you speak! Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter they are all media magnets. To me they aren't much different than Kim K or Snookie. Their only popular because they are lightning rods, willing to say whatever to get a rise out of the media. The problem is when they speak some of the 'sheep' listen. Mindless people led blindly by the internet and media are easy to influence but hard to control. It only takes one message, one idea, to turn someone dysfunctional into someone who is socio-pathic. The propaganda and useless rhetoric need to cease. If the republicans are serious about addressing 'real' issues then they should formulate a plan do deal with said issues.

I'm not sure why people listen to her. I do not find contrived, planned, purposefully inflammatory remarks to be that interesting. These sorts of statements lose their bite when you know that the person saying them is merely looking for the profits associated with media attention.

The sad and F##KED up thing is seeing this neurotic enuch standing in front of a fifty foot waving American flag.

And there you have it another child left behind. Ann Coulter is the perfect example for the "success" of the American educational system. Born stupid, learned nothing, and already forgot half of it.

If any female fits the bill on what a nimp looks like, it is Ann Coulter. She walks the walk, and talks the talk of their nature. It would not surprise me if she ate snakes for breakfast and roaches for dinner!

and we give a rats arse what she thinks for what reason exactly. there are evil people in the Republican party, Coulter, Beck, Limbaugh. I don't understand how they continue to have a platform.

Anne...According to the revised "Preppy Handbook" your hair style is only appropreate durring your freshman years in college. Even your peers have noticed.
Your future will be like ( The Picture of Dorien Gray), your inner dark soul is going to come out in your later years and you are going to be one ugly old lady!

Typical reply for a coward with a retrograde way of thinking. Oh wait... those are called Conservatives.

(my standard reply to all coulter brain farts)

Fox News Word Jumble
real Cunt no ?
Answer: ann coulter

she is just so ugly

i think there should be less adams apple.

Simply remarkable. These Republicans call themselves christians and patriots yet are the first to screw with the constitution and call for death and imprisonment for those who disagree with them. Can someone tell me the difference between these zealots who:

Always want to deny others their freedom / rights
Feels it is their right to tell others how to live
Wants to get rid of members of the press who don't agree with their rubbish and exposes them for their lies and misdeeds.
Thinks the rich should be the ones to profit off the backs of the poor while milking the system,not pay their fair share of taxes and have off shore accounts to hide their loot.
Believe in union busting and disagree with ones freedom of choice.

I think there is a name for people like this but it seems to elude me at this minute.

They should start by jailing Coulter the fucking feminazi conservative beeatch.

It's almost like Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter are one in the same person. None of them are worth my consideration for anything of value to be heard. The really sad and scary thing is that there are so many who listen to them with rapt attention, as if every word they speak is gospel truth. They spew hatred and venom, and then people sit back and wonder why there is a great divide in the USA.

People that listen to her and believe one damn word she spews as stable thinking are just as mentally challenged as she is. They all need advanced educational intervention.

Institutionalized in a good school for their own good......and ours......*¿*

“The voting [in Iran] was over 100%, oh sorry I was thinking about Al Franken’s election in Minnesota.”

Annie obviously overlooked the 2000 presidential election when it wouldn't have mattered if 100 percent had voted; 55 percent of the Supreme Court voted to allow the stoppage of the Fla. recount. You know the rest of the story.

BTW, Annie writes columns and appears as a Faux Noise contributor. Who died and made her a journalist?

You wanna know the truth about Ann Coulter? She's a man.

I actually thought she said she wanted more MALE journalists...

Is she going through a cougar stage?

I was going to say that she was right and suggest that we start with her and glen beck, but then I remembered they're actually just pundits - that being a person who masquerades as a journalist by taking true journalism and twisting it around to mirror your own twisted worldview. Sometimes I'm astonished people like this still exist.

Ann Coulter is nothing more the Rush Limbaugh in drag without the lard.

Freedom of the Press!

Except for:
People who stand up for the Constitution
Democrats
Liberals
Moderates
Gays and Lesbians
Women who seek abortion
Those who seek the truth

Oh yeah, and that huge majority of the population that disagrees with Ann Coulter, Republicans, and her Fox News cronies.

I wonder on what basis she thinks Journalists should be jailed.

This person is a despicable thing so it's sayings mean nothing. BUT what I would like to know is, is she an actual woman, or a mister sister (not that there is anything wrong with that life style)? I know I see an adams apple on it's bony neck so folks your thoughts?

...dammit, that woman must have 2 vaginas...ya couldn't be that silly playin' with one...(oh wait)...

.

people
i did the research
it is completely within the bounds of proper usage and proper social
convention to call someone a twat
here are the sources:

Collins Unabridged Dictionary
3) a foolish or despicable person

Merriam Webster Unabridged Dictionary
1) British slang : a stupid or annoying person

so
with that said
i present to you:

ann coulter is a ripe bothersome twat

.

Must have a new book coming out, needs pr.

She needs to be fired, who ever is paying her needs to stop paying her, she is a dumb bitch and I am not surprised by the clapping, its really sad, but I am not surprised by it

Ann's feeling left out.

LOL...I wondered how long it would be before Coulter tried to claw her way back to the role of Most Shrilly inappropriate and Disgusting rightwinger darling and spokesperson.

Palin was threatening Coulter's rightful place at the head the nincompoopery spokesperson for America's political rightwing.

However, at least Coulter can read, and does read. She was able to attend school--and one school at each level--to get her law degree, and she actually has practiced as an attorney in the past, as well.

I think that is one of the sad things about Coulter...all of the resources that went into educating and training her as an attorney, and she makes her living by making comments like "I think there should be more journalists jailed."

Palin is an uneducated avarist, so the fact that she is so foully and dangerously inappropriate in her statements and actions designed to keep herself a subject of the American conversation isn't quite as sad. Annoying, yes. Sad, no.

this is a person who should not be listened too and like many others if people start to ignore what she says and stops adding her to a segment on tv she like others would slowly start to go away....it is ont thing to have a differing opinion but it is another to suggest things as stupid as locking up the media amoung other things she has said over the years

Coulter makes as much sense as my parrot.
Random words and phrases.

For people who hold the constitution in such high regard the cons certainly don't seem to understand it very well. But that never stopped them from misinterpreting it or the bible.

It's frightening that the idea of jailing journalists gets approval from these people.

I thought they believed in "freedom?"

The lady is a twit. ( to spell it nicely )

Ann Coulter should be jailed for PRETENDING to be a "journalist". In truth she is a liar and a traitor to this nation.

All her writings are hate speech. Pure and simple. She twists facts, creatively edits and slanders a dozen times per page. She deserves no respect. It's only b/c of propagandistic Fox news and the sheep-like nature of a largely uneducated populace that she gets any "respect" at all.

I would say we should start with her, but she's not a journalist so....

Ann, just likes to sell books! Controversial is her goal.

Okay....here's how we can do it......lets hook up our media peeps to fact checkers and have the cuffs slapped up upon a reported lie, And the best place to break the little gizmo in can be Faux news.....just saying..

For a room full of "constitution lovers" they sure don't care about that pesky freedom of speech one, now do they?

Greetings to all,
I normally do not comment on such matters, because as I have already expressed in another blog posting for current, to do so is to engage in idle soap opera talk. In this case however, it does perhaps seem to be a case of a picture saying a 1000 words,so I will make an exception.There's an old saying, that the eyes are the window to the soul, and I don't really subscribe to that notion, but I will say this, has anyone ever noticed, I mean looked really closely at those person's expressions? At their eyes? I find that what Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palen, Ann Coulter and Sharon Engel all look like, they look like.... well.... their crazy.I don't mean in any cute, or funny way, but in a crazy, Stepford wives on crack- my expression is completely inappropriate with what I am saying- crazy and frightening way, seriously.

If for instance one gets past, the cutesy, folksy, I'm just a mama bear (with no brains whatsoever) rhetoric of a woman who I feel can best be described as a cross between an 80s flight attendant and Avon Lady, and actually listen to what she is saying, it is seriously frightening, I would not let my children be in the care of a woman like this, there is something about her, and her previously mentioned associates that should scare the living hell out of people. Seriously.

And while I'm at it, speaking of eyes and appearances, am I the only person out there who notices how bizarre looking Mitch McConnell is? Mr. no eyebrows as I refer to him, seems to have a permanent expression of one who has just had an orgasm, but cannot comprehend it, I have visualized the only appearance of such a man with such an expression who has apparently shaved his eyebrows that seems to fit, picture Mitch McConnell in full S&M gear being "disciplined" by Michel Bachmann, yes now it seems to be very clear. As always I remain V.

Remember, remember the 5th of November...
