More from ann coulter:
where ‘we’ refers to good-american-christians
and ‘they’ refers to ‘godless liberals’
“We believe in populating the Earth until there’s standing room only and then colonizing Mars; they believe humans are in the twilight of their existence.”
….I don’t even…like how is she not a satire of herself? standing room only and then populating on mars?…and it’s actually printed in her book?!?!

“Environmentalists want mass infanticide, zero population growth, reduced standards of living, and vegetarianism. The core of environmentalism is that they hate mankind.”
-ann coulter from her book Godless: The Church of Liberalism
I’d heard the name before but never looked into her. Infanticide and vegetarianism together on a list. ….I’m so confused. I wish I thought she was joking or something.
If you scroll down the first chapter of the book is there. It’s pretty frightening.

A 14-year-old Indian boy has been awarded the International Children’s Peace Prize for leading a campaign against child labour and child slavery.
“After he was rescued, Om set up a network that aims to give all children a birth certificate as a way of helping to protect them from exploitation”
I knew child labour was a very serious global problem. But somehow it never occured to me that children could be denied birth certificates. These children are being forced to work and there is no official record of their birth…. that is truly frightening. How far removed from those situations we are simply by being born in Canada.
I am aware of the conflicts this post could be taken to have with ones I posted with regards to Rememberence Day. Our country may well not have been such a wonderful place to be born if the World Wars had turned out another way. I would like to take ownership once again for a lack of clarity on this issue. On an ideological level I do battle with how I feel about the existance of nationstates, passports and birth certificates: Documents which seem to cage us in to one corner of the World of which we were born citizens. But one thing I do not lose sight of is that I am lucky to be Canadian, and I am grateful for the rights I enjoy as a Canadian, including of course the rights that allow me to think about and discuss these very issues, and indeed the right to be wrong when it comes to them, but to keep thinking and to keep going back to the drawing board.
