I know some of you hate Ann Coulter, so if that's the case with you, don't bother to read this. But for the rest of you, she offers a great take on this tired liberal viewpoint.

I don't by any means like Ann Coulter. If spontaneous human combustion were a real phenomena, I would wish it on her. That said, I don't arbitrarily disagree with all of a person's points simply because they made them. She makes a decent point in the article, and I appreciate the read.

 

EDIT: I do wish to address a point she made that I disagree with. Ann stated:

 

That's the difference between a totalitarian and a normal person. Liberals are obsessed with controlling what other people do.

 

That's typically not the precedent. Looking at the actual, literal meanings of the terms 'liberal' and 'conservative', liberal is a more inclusive philosophy (with the exception of economics). In the context of other modern issues, though, it seems to be conservatives that are obsessed with controlling what other people do. I submit the issues of gay marriage, secularism (from Ann's counter argument of "I enjoy this, so you have to subsidize it."), and marijuana legalization as examples.

Good quote from her:

"Free people are not in the habit of providing reasons why they "need" something simply because the government wants to ban it."
