We should all feel sorry for poor Ann Coulter. She is still suffering from the all gobs of brown acid she took in the muddy, rain-soaked audience at Woodstock. She is still on a Very Bad Trip. Thorazine could help that maybe still.

Our country Doctor rambles:
​
Yes, apart from his belated support for gay marriage and the abolition of DADT, Obama is exactly a conservative from 50 years ago. Back in the good old days.
​
But right-wing rhetoric has shifted so far that Eisenhower and Nixon and Ford and Reagan would nowadays be considered Evil Communist Marxists Who Want To Destroy America if they stood on their policies today. Obama continues their tradition, but you are so far right that you can't appreciate that from a historical perspective America has just re-elected a moderate Republican.
​
Just thinking now about the campaign ads that were basically oriented towards the tone-deaf Republicans and Romney towards women ("The War On Women!!") that came out during this campaign. The last ones were all about changing your clocks back 1 hour as Daylight Savings Time ended November 4th, with the added caution not to set your clocks back 60 years!
​
Sure, the tax brackets in the Eisenhower years would be nice to have again. But the Ozzie & Harriet cream-of-wheat white patriarchal family shit is not something we want to see be dominant again.
​
The bridge at midnight trembles....

I don't know much about you but if you're young and you're in school and you have an academic interest in any of this stuff, I've been hoping and praying that the younger generation would get inspired to study history in great great depth from a Christian and Conservative worldview.
​
I am hoping instead that the younger generation studies to this great depth from an open mind. Like a blank slate. They should be SAVED from the brainwashing of established religions. A brainwashed viewpoint, no matter how well-studied, is still a brainwashed viewpoint.

But be that as it may, there ARE ideas on the liberal side that could fairly be classed as traitorous from a traditional understanding of American history, and she's nailed it. Some things can't just be politely treated as a mere difference of opinion.
​
If this is true, then you ought to be able to name some of these ideas.
​
Hell, let's see JUST ONE!
