If I Had A Hammer


"Coulter: Canada is "lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent"; Carlson: "Without the U.S., Canada is essentially Honduras"
On November 30, as President Bush visited Canada to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in an effort to improve the two countries' strained relations, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter and CNN Crossfire co-host Tucker Carlson ridiculed the United States' northern neighbor. On FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Coulter said that Canadians "better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." On CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports, Carlson stated: "Without the U.S., Canada is essentially Honduras, but colder and much less interesting"; he went on to say that instead of following politics, "the average Canadian is busy dogsledding." And on Crossfire, Carlson referred to the "limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society.'" http://mediamatters.org/items/200412010011

Why do some people live? Does Coulter eat the shit she serves ... to millions who shamedly do partake of said shit? Why does the bow-tie wearing mid-thirtysomething Carlson still have a job after Comedy Central's The Daily Show's John Stewart lit he and even his pseudo-liberal partner/Bush friend partner up? I've seen Ann Coulter speak, and when I look into her eyes I don't see a human being; I see an automoton, or a martian. Granted, those on the far left of the equation can often sound almost equally deluded, but this Coulter is really missing some vital neurons, no doubt about it. Why preach separation, myopia, and bigger-dick thinking, Ann, did you ever hear of the demise of every civilization that ever occupied the space of ruler of the world? It gets us all in the end, sooner for some than later, and this type of utter idiocy (and its vast constituency) secures our place in the soon-to-be vanquished ... this lifetime or the next. What is the point of believing you stand alone atop a world but refuse to open your eyes to the consequences of your own selfish exploitation of the earth and its peoples? Guilty; damned. As a fellow parent, one would think-- obviously naively so -- that one would care about what is said and done now in relation to that which necessarily follows ... and reap the consequences of such present acts and omissions. Go ahead, spread hate, torture, murder, neglect and for us or against us/my way or the highway thinking ... I realize it's all you know.
