Updated: Obama’s Racial Ramrodding

Ann Coulter, Barack Obama, Democrats, Elections 2008, Race, Racism

Obama just can’t stop pounding on grandma. Today he told a radio show host that the woman who raised him with a great deal of love apparently was “a typical white woman.” Trust me, this was not a compliment. I can’t help thinking that Rev. Wright is not the only one to have coached Obama for over 20 years. Militant Mama Obama (as opposed grandma Obama), any one?

In any event, good luck finding the item on the Internet, although even Obama Boy Anderson Cooper covered it, but failed to post it. Send us a link if you get lucky.

Against the backdrop of Barack beating up on grandma yet again, my WND column is apropos. Frequenters of Barely a Blog will be very familiar with the themes:

“Richly revealing was the way Obama tarred his maternal (white) grandma with the taint of racism because she ‘once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street,’ among her other cardinal sins…”

“Obama gets away with conjecture—he saddles white America with black America’s woes. Grandma, however, has still not acquitted herself for expressing a visceral fear borne of the brutal reality of crime in this country…”

Read the complete WND column, “Obama’s Racial Ramrodding.”

Update (March 21): I occasionally check DIGG to see what they’re saying.
Incidentally, appended to last week’s column was a long comment in support of the Palestinian cause. It dealt with the issues (although his facts were problematic). The writer did not attack me for having a different (correct) perspective.
The missive may not have been very intelligent, but it is an example of how anyone who aspires to debate must proceed.
How different is this example from the addled orgy of idiocy directed at Mercer, into which the congenital idiot “Shshshaun” plunged the lost souls on the Jewcy.com chat board. “Shshshsaun” is a creature I had allowed, in my generosity, to post on BAB. (Here is his first offering.) Kudos to Dan, our reader, for trying to tutor that malevolent moron in clear thinking. A waste of time, but Dan did at least get the chat on track again.

This one is a DIGG to “Obama’s Racial Ramrodding”:

Dear Ilana,

“… Ilana’s summary blows Ann Coulter’s off the map. You are an excellent communicator. I must state that if it wasn’t for Corsi, Vox, you and a few others I would have no reason to visit WND. Great job.”

Update # IV: Exporting Women To Make Benefit Glorious Nation of USA

Ann Coulter, Capitalism, China, Democracy, Family, Feminism, Free Markets, Gender, Intelligence, Pop-Culture

It transpires that Chinese leader Mao Zedong once proposed to export 10 million Chinese women to the United States:
In a long conversation that stretched way past midnight at Mao’s residence on February 17, 1973, the cigar-chomping Chinese leader referred to the dismal trade between the two countries, saying China was a “very poor country” and “what we have in excess is women.
Smart man. I think that’s one idea we ought to adopt. Think about it.
Or take a trip around Costco. You’ll see what I’m speaking about. I’ve become an expert at racing my cart through that fabulous store, weaving between walls of stupid female flesh. Only women can cause traffic jams with supermarket trolleys. It’s something to behold.
Give it some thought. If we exported women, politics would begin to move to the right again. Oprah would go out of business slowly. You’d hear less of that staccato tart tone:
“And he was like, ‘come here’; and I was like, ‘No’; and he was like, ‘You’re amazing’; and I was like, ‘I know.’”
What would you do to hear less of that voice and mannerisms?
Greg Gutfeld described the sound emitted from Lauren Caitlin Upton, of the Miss Teen USA fame, as having “that profoundly irritating voice that combines the worst of Southern California with South Carolina—a hybrid that squeezes out anything smart from both places, leaving only a ditz-filled diaper.”
Yes, sans so many dames, it would become possible to rehabilitate English as our official language. Think less small-minded pettiness and jealousy (how I’ve suffered personally from that aspect of the female character). The possibilities are endless.
Women who come to this site are excluded, of course. Ilana’s ladies are fabulous.
I said once that I’d give up my vote if that would guarantee that all women were denied the vote.
Are there any other benefits, incidental to the export of women, that you can think of?
If the Idiocracy should stumble upon this post, then chill, please; it’s called satire, humor, reductio ad absurdum (and a bit of wishful thinking).
Update # I (Feb. 14): To the perplexed: Good satire is always based on a kernel of truth; ask Ali G., or Borat. Just because Ann Coulter would agree with this post, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. That’s woman logic.
Ann Coulter is right about very many things; it’s a shame she rarely writes about the things she’s right about. That’s the secret to success: keep the masses euphoric and moronic. (This last and the tart talk have gone to our “Quotables.” Check them out sometime.)
Update # II: See my related bimbos-instead-of-bombs suggestion in the next post, “Ayaan Hirsi Ali: America’s Shame.”
Update # III: Fewer females means there will be fewer “Skanks in the Sky,” and not as many men weighed down by “cranky kids” and a “papoose strapped to a sunken chest.”

Update # IV: Barbara, who has just started her own blog (I’m allowing it, provided she doesn’t neglect us), comments on the shrews that sully my favorite store, Costco.
On approaching a display, let’s say the tomatoes, and out of courtesy to other shoppers—not wanting to impede access—I’ll park the cart out of the way, and then approach the produce. Not the CCs (Costco Cows). They straddle the length of the counter with their carts and creepy kids and block anyone from approaching. Because brain size is inversely proportional to sense of importance, they might make time for a quick call on the cell as other more demure ladies wait to take tomatoes.
Trader Joe bitches are way worse; they imagine they’re the crème de la crème (of what? Provincial America?) Pity the patron who wants only to grab some zucchini and flee, but must circumnavigate a Trader Joe Mom mid-lesson—in other words laboring to make the zucchini purchase a “learning experience” for her malevolent little mutants. The only thing these beasts manage to teach their brats is that they, like their ugly moms, are the center of the universe. Screw the rest.
When I used to take my now grown-up baby shopping, I always found time to teach her courtesy. You don’t run through the place; you give way to older people—when you’re 3, that’s practically everyone—apologize if you bump into someone, pick up what you made them drop; don’t scream. Tantrums never occurred.
My saving grace at Costco: I shop only on the outskirts of the store. I go there for the best produce, poultry and fish you can get. The behemoths of Costco do not buy produce, or fresh fish and meat. How do I know? Standing in the queue to pay, I’ve noticed that the women have nothing but boxes in their carts. Piles of boxes packed with, it would seem, synthetic, preservative-laden, ready made food (frozen pizza, etc.) Women are poisoning America with more than just stupidity. Not one item of fresh food stuff for the brood and the bread winner.
I was once asked by a sullen, if rather pretty, slim lady—a rarity there—what I do with all the berries I buy. I said: “eat them.” She asked: “how.” I was going to say, “With my mouth,” and point, but had a change of heart. It looked like I might be able to do some good. And she was interested.
“Every morning,” I told her, “I go through the time-consuming exercise of making a mega fruit salad for me and the Ungrateful Other (who also gets his morning coffee in bed and his clothes laid out for the day; he’s a hopeless dresser). Like teens, we are both bad in the mornings—completely non compus mentis until late mornings. Fruit is the best antidote to our fragile morning state.
Costco is the kind of shop that allows one to eat the best for the least. Every single day, irrespective of the season, you can enjoy a fruit bowl packed with kiwi, berries—straw, black, blue and raspberries—orange, grapefruit, banana, pear. I may have left out something. You name it. A five-star hotel would not serve such produce.
Ladies, if you lose the boxes, you’ll easily afford fresh food. Keep your Costco fruit purchase in the fridge, and apportion daily. You’ll find it goes a long way.
My interlocutor nodded. And then asked where in the store she could find berries; she had never been into the enormous cold storage, which is the culinary equivalent of Ali Baba’s cave.

Updated: The Boring Idea (Or Donny Vs. Annie)

Ann Coulter, Christianity, Judaism & Jews, Media

The verbose, vacuous Donny Deutsch had the leggy, one-trick Coulter on his big bore of a show, “The Big Idea.”

The exchange:

“Deutsch said to her: ‘You said we should throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians,’ and Coulter again replied, ‘Yes.’ When pressed by Deutsch regarding whether she wanted to be like ‘the head of Iran’ and ‘wipe Israel off the Earth,’ Coulter stated: ‘No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. … That’s what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws.’”

Deutsch promptly took offense. Left-liberals, Jews included, followed. I don’t have the time or patience to search for links to their apoplexy (here’s one). However, let me say this: If Coulter was more than a brash babe (she’s looking bonny), she’d have explained (as I did in “Unlearend Rabbi Rages at Ratzinger“) that a filament of the Christian faith is the belief that the path to God is predicated on accepting Christ. The centrality in Christianity of accepting Christ is a doctrinal issue, plain and simple. To get past the Pearly Gates, Christians believe one has to accept Christ.

So what? I don’t hear Christians telling orthodox Jews to ditch their maddening dietary laws, because these make people of other faiths feel excluded.

So long as they don’t use the Rack to convert others, why do these immutable doctrinal issues matter?

On a slightly different tack (but still on the topic of Coulter and Christianity), I wrote the following in February, 2005:

“Most real people had a 9/11 moment. Ann Coulter’s call to arms was particularly memorable. For exhorting, ‘We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity,’ she was even banished from National Review. This was indeed a puzzling purge, considering neoconservatives promptly adopted her recommendations, invaded Muslim countries, and killed their leaders.

The neocons have adopted all of Coulter’s recommendations, save the peaceful one. So long as it’s voluntary and doesn’t involve The Rack, I think that unleashing an army of missionaries on the Islamic patrimony would be far more efficacious than the military offensives currently underway. In fact, I’ve always suspected that an aversion to Christian conversion was at the core of the ‘girlie boys’’ horrified response to Coulter’s cri de coeur.”

Update (12:25 AM): A brief comment on Coulter’s clinging to the instant clemency Christianity offers:

Here’s more of Coulter the theologian, in the punch-up with Deutsch:

“[The New Testament] is more like Federal Express,” she barked at Deutsch. “You have to obey laws. … As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to live up to all the laws. What Christians believe—this is just a statement of what the New Testament is—is that that’s why Christ came and died for our sins.”

Yes, a Jew can’t expect to go to heaven if he whoops it up for an unjust war, and pimps for a corrupt president (that is if you believe all the heaven hocus pocus; I don’t). In Judaism, your actions determine your fate on earth and in the hereafter (the first being more important than the last).

A rabbi can’t wave a wand and absolve the wicked, as a priest does following confession. A Jew has to obey certain imperatives toward G-d and his fellow man. In other words, he must live justly and do good deeds.

So, yes: I can see the appeal amnesty express à la Christianity would hold for Coulter.

Letter of the Week: In Defense of Coulter

Ann Coulter, Media, The Zeitgeist

James Huggins writes:

Ann Coulter usually calls a spade a spade. In this case she called it a bloody shovel. Sometimes she’s over the top but at least we know where she stands. At least, also, she doesn’t genuflect to the gay/lesbian idol like the rest of us are forced to do. These alleged conservatives who jump up on chairs and pull up their skirts like Gracie Allen seeing a mouse give me a pain. Maybe Coulter is over the top, but I’ll take her “hemline-short” arguments any day as opposed to the never ending gutless pandering to the left done by supposed conservative spokesmen. By the way, what’s wrong with being homophobic? As long as a homophobe isn’t shooting or rock throwing then said homophobe should be allowed his own opinion. It’s a free country. Isn’t it? Or anyway, it used to be.
