David Yeagley is the great-great-grandson of Comanche leader Bad Eagle. 
Long live the Queen. Ann Coulter has been going on TV shows to promote her new book, Guilty, and has been willing to appear with people whom she has severely criticized. She recently appeared on Mike Huckabee’s show, for instance, toward whom she had previously proffered scathing rebukes, and naturally he confronted her on them, specifically. She of course did not back down an inch. He denied her public accusations of him, but she kindly stood by her positions. Ann has posted most of this intervews on her site, AnnCoulter.com.
Ann Coulter
“The Guardian of the Republican Party,” she has become, indeed. Let’s observe something here very carefully: there is a Republican Party. Because there is currently no leadership, because Congress is full of traitors and RINOs (Republicans In Name Only), and because the Republican values have not been manifest for some years now–this does not mean there is no longer a Republican Party. This does not mean there are no Republicans in America.
Surely, Ann Coulter is heaven sent, as one who does not bend, manoeuver, slip or slide around Republican principles in order to even appear to cooperate with liberals (Democrats). (Who her cognate in the Democrat Party would be is an interesting question.) Ann is not a compromiser–as even many of the conservative media personalities have become. Ann is independent, and does not adjust her views to please the power she works for, like other conservative media personalities. Ann has earned for herself the luxury of freedom found only in the realm of independence. She is the American dream in this sense, an entrepreneur who has won her kingdom, and all the rights and privileges pertaining thereunto. In other words, she doesn’t work for anyone. She is her own boss. (And no one works for her, either.)
But there is more. We need to understand that the media is in fact a competitive business. Talk show hosts, on TV and radio, are all competitors, looking for their own space. People like Mike Huckabee and Glenn Beck have carved out for themselves a “middle of the road” position by condemning what they see as excesses on both sides. Thus, they attract a large audience which is confused, frustrated with both sides, and willing to hear these new artificial moderates. (Lou Dobbs is the genuine article when it comes to assessing the ills of either side. He was the original alternative, but I wouldn’t call him “middle of the road” at all. He’s not seeking a political venue. He seeks the truth, or so it certainly seems.)
But Ann has no use for any “moderate” position, be it politically produced, or be it the product of competing entertainers. She’s lately willing to use the word “entertainment” with regard to herself, but, this is as far as she’s ever gone in assessing the nature of her own work. However, that is not a political assessment, but a professional assessment. Politically, she is a true, conservative, Republican. Thankfully, she will not budge.
And so the business is trying to distance her, to label her, to box her in, as a far right wing radical. The business needs more space for new competitors–entertainers who are safer, less controversial, less likely to bring a legal suit to their doors. “Moderates” are actually traitors, and, like Karl Rove, want to see Obama be a “success.” This idiotic motive is tantamount to saying they want to see Marxism be a success in this country. Even Bill O’Reilly has advocated this position of wanting to see Obama be a “success”–for the sake of the country, no less, as O’Reilly has said.
This all calls to mind a certain scripture of Revelation, 3:15, when Christ assesses the church of the Laodiceans: “Thou are neither cold nor hot. I would thou wert cold or hot.” the thought here is that “moderation,” at least some times, has no place. Sometimes, moderation is compromise, surrender, or, essentially, joining the opposition. This is what the Democrats and liberals always expect of the Republicans, and, of late, have not been disappointed.
If it is not blasphemous to draw an analogy, we could say Ann Coulter is like one of the angels sent to the churches–to the Republican church, as it were. “Get in, or Get out!” You’re either Republican, or your a liberal. A moderate is nothing but a liberal, and may as well be a Democrat. That is the bottom line. And that’s what’s wrong with the Republican Party. Too few carrying that name are willing to be true to it. They have reduced the Party to some local social player in a larger game–the globalist game. They think the bigger picture is the true picture. The true Republican, however, the true conservative, paints the picture. He creates the picture. He doesn’t seek to fit into some architecture of fate. He doesn’t try to blend in with the miasmic sludge of cultural effluvia–the grand digestion of nationalities. The true conservative holds his own, forever. He believes in his values. That’s why he holds to them. Globalism is not one of his values.
Thus we expose a deep liability in the free market: the confusion of “competitive” ideas. When law and politics become entertainment, we know were going down. When news media personalities compete with politicians for social authority, we know were on the way out.
Ann, you were wild once. Don’t let them tame you.

Excellent piece Dr Yeagly. I love the part about Ann being an Angel. Thats really going to cause some lefties to explode with rage. lol
I saw Ann on Huckabee. She hammered him on his checkered conservative record especially immigration. He deserved it.
I think Ann’s haters despise her more than your’s do you. The best part?
She doesn’t care one bit.
If we were all like Ann Coulter we’d have our country back in a short period of time indeed.

My fav line:
“He doesn’t try to blend in with the miasmic sludge of cultural effluvia–the grand digestion of nationalities.”
I am going to try to apply that notion to my job. I have gone along with some things that I should stand firm against, especially with the “Change that is coming” to health care from the communist Messiah and Daschle. We all have our personal challenges where we need to stop compromising, too. I can always join the Convent when they throw me out ;o

With Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter as your Republican reps the decade of the Democratic majority is a shoe-in!
Thanks!

Coward, the only thing I am forced to learn from this is what it’s like to not have a president for a while. Many Democrats profess to feel that way.
Too many Republicans were untrue to their beliefs and values. Democrats are never untrue to theirs. Republicans deserved to fall.
Democrats never had to watch the country fall, though. Republicans might.

Hey Doc, long time no post on here, sorry. I have been keeping up with the conflict in Gaza and to my surprise, and hopefully to the surprise of all of those who voted Obama in, demonstrators in the Muslim world are currently burning our presidential Messiah in effigy. It seems that they are blaming him in a large part for the civilian deaths there. Not blaming Hamas for using them as human shields by the way, but I digress. The man hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet, one that is sure to be the most interesting in our history if you look at the line up, but again I digress. I have a simple point to make. For all of you who thought that electing the social phenomenon know as BHO was going to make America and American values more acceptable to the world well think again chillens! No matter what we do we will always, and I mean always be hated by large segments of the globe. Islamic extremism hates us for who we are just as much as for what we do, period! End of discussion. Islam is not a religion, it is a political system disguised as one. A political system hellbent on world domination by whatever means it can employ. There is no reasoning to be done. We are presented with one of three choices here, resist, submit or die. General Patton once said: “Nobody ever won a war by dying for their country. They won it by getting the other bastard to die for his.”

Maybe there is a time for compromise. I’d say when you’re about to lose everything you have–that’s not one of those times. You can be “compasstionate” only from a position of strength. In this world, you don’t get back anything you give. The world is a black hole.
That’s the world outside America. And America seems to be taking on that characteristic, by continual compromise and greed–globalist capitalism.

Ann is a gem. She and Palin would make a great leadership team. I agree, the Reps Party lives, waiting only for new leadership. The Liberal Mods of the rep party are retiring or feeling the boot. We have to sink ( we did) so that we may rise (we will). Soon, the country will see the foolishness of the Obamaheads. Wait for slave reperations, minority home-mortgage bail-outs, sending tax rebates to people who are not citizens and to those who don’t pay taxes. Wait for China to stop buying T-Bills. Wait for the reckless printing of money to cover the debt. Soon, the real Republican Party will look good to anyone who still actually works for a living. Soon the DEMS who work for a living will be SCREAMING! Even the DEMS on SS will be screaming when the ship strikes the real bottom!! The future looks good! Yeah. The real Bush legacy is a new Republican party based on tried and true social and physical conservatism!

True Dr Yeagly there is a time for compromise.
Compromise though indicates both sides give up something for middle ground.
The leaders of our side have just been plain surrendering for years not compromising.
Even when the left is forced into a compromise they don’t regard it as permanent.
Its just a temporary lull in the never ending Jihad to bring all into submission to the will of the all wise hippie.
In no time they will be fighting again for what they temporarily gave up.
Once we’ve lost ground we just start building new ramparts on the little bit we haven’t lost.
Well at this point there isn’t that much territory left to fortify.

Next thing you know we will all be in hate speech PC land like poor Canada or the UK, where you can be arrested for saying things people don’t like. We are beginning to have our backs go up against the wall in terms of our loss of freedom.

Posting of Mike from California, transferred from the old BadEagle.com Journal:
“Bring all into submission to the will of the all wise hippie.” Ha, so very true! Liberals are but beggars to their own demise. I have family in Europe. Take a look at the precarious position that England has just placed itself in by accommodating Islam, allowing sharia law, ect. The Godless liberals/socialists hate conservative values and religion with an insane passion. The more enlightened consider all religion an impediment in the course of human development. They just happened to pick a fight with the one religion that will not tolerate persecution of itself. Islam has no intentions of going quietly into the night.

A BHO in the computer world is a “browser helper object”. Usually a small software module written in javascript or maybe a few lines of HTML that enables a certain funtion within a browser ( like Internet Explorer) window. Today, almost all pesky adware or spyware uses BHOs to attach itself to your computer browser and later root itself into your computer file system. How fitting that these small seemlingly harmless objects are in fact the root of almost all computer infestations. I hope BHO ( the president) isn’t like that.

Brother Yeagley, I too must confess to undying love for Ann Coulter. Anybody hated this badly by liberals must be doing something right.
On the other hand, she does from time to time go over the top in her mostly commendable and highly entertaining quest of giving the pinkos heart attacks. The stalwart defenses of the demagogue Joe McCarthy are a good example. Plus, I could really do without even one more fat, drunk Ted Kennedy joke.
I will throw in, however, that even as a right wing nutjob, I too wish President Obama success, for the country’s sake. To that end, I hope that he follows his more centrist and pragmatic impulses rather than his Marxist college professor rhetoric.
In fairness to the president elect, I think I could go so far as to say that his early actions here since the election haven’t scared me near as bad as I had feared. Let’s just say that a bunch of knowledgeable but unprincipled Clinton re-treads scare me far less than if he were staffing up with a bunch of cheesy left wing academics.
But I’m counting on reliable, mean old Ann Coulter to stick it to him when he inevitably screws the pooch.
God bless and save Ann Coulter.
