Come back,Liberals-Ann Coulter-Liberals have been completely vanquished. Actually, intellectually they lost the war of ideas long ago. It's just that now their defeat is so obvious, even they've noticed. As new DNC Chairman Howard Dean might say, it's all over but the screaming.

In an editorial last week, the New York Times gave President Bush credit for democracy's sweeping through the Middle East or, as the Times put it, "a year of heartening surprises." Yes, the Middle East's current democratization would come as quite a surprise to anyone who puts his hands over his ears and hums during the President's speeches.

Rolling Stone magazine is making fun of MoveOn.org for having no contact with normal Americans. Their Bush-hating cause has become so hopeless that MoveOn.org is on the verge of actually moving on.

Marking the first time Walter Cronkite and I have agreed on anything, Cronkite is ridiculing Dan Rather, saying he should have retired a long time ago.

Dean and 'Evil'

No one, not even Chris Matthews, is defending the Italian communist who claims American forces intentionally shot at her in Iraq. (But to be fair, Keith Olbermann has been on vacation this week.) She may have lost some credibility when she backed her claim that Americans were targeting her by quoting her kidnappers. She said her kidnappers had warned her to stay away from the Americans because they would only hurt her. And then my rapist said, "Whatever you do, don't cry out for the police! They won't help you!"

Consider that less than 20 years ago, ABC's Peter Jennings and CBS's Mike Wallace announced at an "Ethics in America" panel that they would not intervene to prevent the slaughter of American troops while on duty as journalists--especially during sweeps. As Wallace said: "You don't have a higher duty. No. No. You're a reporter!" It almost makes you wonder if U.S. troops have ever targeted American journalists in the field during wartime. Maybe Eason Jordan would know something about that.

Now liberal journalists are pretending to support the troops. They hardly ever call them "baby killers" anymore, at least to their faces.

Democrats are even pretending to believe in God--you know, as they understand Her.

The only people liberals can find to put up a fight these days are ex-Klanners and other assorted nuts.

There's former KKK "Kleagle" and Democratic Sen. Bob Byrd, who compared the Republicans to Hitler last week. Byrd having been a charter member of a fascist organization himself, no one was sure if this was intended as a critique or a compliment.

Aspiring first lady Teresa Heinz claims the election was stolen through the machinations of a vast conspiracy involving Republican polling machine manufacturers. We eagerly await a Michael Moore documentary to flesh out the details. It's only a matter of time before Heinz announces that anti-Bush insurgents control most of the red states, and that the sooner the U.S. pulls out of those quagmires, the better.

Howard Dean--chairman of the party that supports murder, adultery, lying about adultery, coveting other people's money, stealing other people's money, mass-producing human embryos for spare parts like an automotive chop shop and banning God--has called Republicans "evil." One Democrat in the audience, a preschool teacher no less, complained that Dean was soft-pedaling his message.

Teddy Kennedy's big new idea is to wheel out his 18th proposal to raise the minimum wage.

He's been doing this since wages were paid in Spanish doubloons (which coincidentally are now mostly found underwater). Kennedy refuses to countenance any risky schemes such as trying to expand the economy so people making the minimum wage get raises because they've been promoted. Kennedy's going down and he's taking the party with him! (Recognize the pattern?)

I keep expecting the real Democrats to appear and drag these nuts out of the room, saying, Oh sorry, he's escaped again--don't worry, he does this all the time, and then Howard Dean will stand up and have no pants on.

So now, the entire country is ignoring liberals.

It's not just that we're a divided nation, with liberals watching only CNN and conservatives watching only Fox News. It's liberals the country is ignoring. No one knows or cares what they're carrying on about in their media outlets. Liberals can't get arrested. They're even letting Martin Sheen off with a warning now.

I hate to sound selfish at such a great moment for the country, but this is nothing short of calamitous for completely innocent right-wing polemicists. Liberals are too pathetic to write about. I have nothing to do; my life is over. Where have all the flowers gone?

I'm confident they'll stage a comeback someday. In lieu of common sense, liberals have boundless energy. But I'm getting bored waiting. In the interest of good sportsmanship, I have some proposals for liberals: I think Democrats might want to drop the contract all Democrats apparently have to sign pledging to pretend to believe insane things. Also, if you could just get the base of your party to not participate anymore and maybe be a little less crazy, people might listen to you. Barring that, you're just going to have to scream a little louder.
Ann Coulter is Legal Affairs Correspondent for HUMAN EVENTS and author

Ever since the despicable lying way the Coulter criticized former Senator Max Cleland's Vietnam service I have more respect for a cockroach than I have for that hateful slug of an amoeba named Ann Coulter.

swears she is a man. I think he has spent too much time looking at pictures of her.

Ah Ann Coulter. What a waste of fascist space. Considering her attitude after 911 (bomb the infidel Moslems whereever they may lurk) I don't take her 'opinion' at face value, and constantly remind myself that she is writing this tripe in a straight jacket in a padded cell in Outer Mongolia, hitting the typewriter keys with her nose, before proceeding to bounce around the room telling the guards that she is one of the many wives of the Great Khan.

It's funny. When slander and treason came out, I thought they were great. I applauded that the right wing had an answer to George Carlin, but I couldn't believe it when I was told that she wasn't trying to be funny.

She is undoubtedly intelligent, but her wisdom and the level to which we can take her seriously can best be illustrated by her suggestion that we "kill all the Muslim leaders and convert their people to Christianity" as if Christianity hasn't, itself, been responsible for wars, terrorism, theft, murders, etc. over the last 2000 years.

Actually, they do. She was the editor of the law review at a first tier law school. Disagree with what she writes, or believe that she is a three-ring circus in one person, but don't disparage her intelligence. The evidence is solidly against you.
