There is a lot I don’t like about the world: slow walkers, erratic drivers, people who chew with their mouths open, txt-speak, and kittens. Okay, I don’t hate kittens. Kittens with spikes all over them (war kittens!), maybe, but not regular kittens.
Anyways, there’s one thing I hate above all else: the idea that there are only two kinds of people in politics. Everyone encounters it. You’re either a Democrat or a Republican. You’re a conservative or a liberal. You’re a crazy, left-wing, terrorist-loving moonbat or a war-mongering, right-wing, bible-thumping wingnut. You’re either with us or against us.
This is bunk and everyone knows it. The world isn’t black and white, people. There’s a hell of a lot of gray in there.

I mean, who doesn’t hate that she-devil? I’m sorry, but honestly, I can’t stand her. I try my hardest to at least tolerate people with beliefs wildly differing from mine, but when I see a self-professed Christian insinuating that Jews are inferior, liberals are all godless heathens, and anyone who votes Democrat is a brain-dead moron who has to be spoken to slowly, I begin to forget the bit about tolerance. Hulk smash Coulter lady!!
Anyways, I know that her comments about Jews needed to be “perfected” were taken out of context and misunderstood by the general populace (read: the media), but I really can’t blame anyone for misinterpreting that. When you go out of your way to be a bitch, people are going to assume that anything that comes out of your mouth is hateful and ultra-conservative. Most of the time, that holds true. I mean, the very titles of her books make me wish I had a flamethrower handy. Or at least a heavy-duty shredder.
I’m sure I could write a lot more about Coulter (especially how much she just look scary), but I’d probably just end up spluttering and making unintelligible angry noises. Intolerant right wingers often cause that reaction. It’s more a general disliking instead of something I can adequately describe. Ah well. I figured I’d bring it up considering she’s apparently got a new book out. Yay. I’ll probably head out to the book store to get a laugh out of the misguided rabid conservatism on the back cover. Anyone who thinks all liberals are Michael Moore needs a lesson in how the world isn’t black and white.
