‘We are finished …’

Ann Coulter told fellow conservative Sean Hannity that the nation needs to elect a true-blue conservative for president next time or the nation is “finished.”

Here’s the exchange she had with Hannity.

We’re all entitled to our opinions, correct Ms. Coulter? It’s written somewhere that we are, even though she believes her opinions are worth far more than, say, mine. For that matter, I value my own world view more than I value hers … but I digress.

Actually, I’m uncomfortable using the term “finished.” We’ve gone through many serious crises and come out all right: the Civil War, World Wars I and II, presidential assassination, the threat of nuclear confrontation over missiles in Cuba, immense civil unrest over the Vietnam War, Watergate. Have you heard about those historical events?

I believe the nation would worse off if it elected a conservative cave-dweller who does not comprehend that the nation no longer resembles what it once did. We aren’t just a nation of old, Anglo, middle- and upper middle-class, heterosexual, “nuclear families.” We are changing every single year. The new majority population no longer is white. We are increasingly diverse, no matter how badly some folks want to limit its diversity.

Ann Coulter is an engaging and articulate advocate for her political point of view. She’s just misguided.
