rE: "...Ann Coulter..."
Shortly after 9/11 took place, I corresponded with Miss Coulter personally.
Besides joking about the best way to deal with Ben Laden, another subject was brought to her attention by me because she had written one of her typically brash nervy & loudmouthed articles denouncing a family and their hired attorney representing a young boy who had "acted out" in a manner which had him in legal difficulties.
The lawyer's defense, based on family interviews, was that the child had been been placed on the medication isotretinoin by his physician, and that this medication was suspected of triggering suicidal clinical depression in the young boy, resulting in his aggressive behavior.
Coulter was publicly blasting the boy, his family, and his attorney, as "liberals" "dishonest" "disloyal to America", and screaming that there was no drug which could cause depression in children...her usual dogpuke drivel for which she is renowned, and for which she has earned millions of dollars from fools who believe she actually has anything to offer anyone in the way of wise counsel.
I took it on myself to directly inform Ann that she did not have the slightest idea what the hell she was talking about, because I knew for a fact of the clinical contraindications of oral isotretinoin and its derivatives.
First, it was discovered to cause horrendous "thalidomide" like birth defects and foetal abnormalities when taken by females, even if conception took place just one day while on the drug.
Normally patients take a 2 or 3-week regimen and stop.
The therapeutic effects can continue, even intensifying, for years following this dosage regimen; the side effects including radical personality shifts, suicidal ideation, intense depression, or elation, can also last for long periods, with the actual totality of the drug's effects on body and mind not fully known.
So much for loud mouthed skinny blondes getting paid millions to tell those who know even less than she does how they are supposed to think.
Ever heard her rail and rant about President Roosevelt being little more than a traitorous Red who introduced socialism to America and in doing so prolonged the Great Depression?
This is more of her bullsh_t.
Virtually every single State and National Park, every zoo all over the country, almost every single classic style U.S. Post Office in every major city in the U.S., as well as the vast majority of transportation bridges, dams, and tunnels, which are used and enjoyed by everyone, and taken for granted each day by fools who listen to Ann Coulter owe their creation to President Franklin Delanore Roosevelt, who organized and ordered the formation of the WPA (Works Project Administration)to take the millions of American men who were then jobless, homeless, hungry, and destitute as a result of the Great Depression, and put them all back to work doing honorable public works construction projects badly needed by the U.S., in so doing providing them a genuine salary and room and board along with their jobs.
The real benefit to these men (maybe your grandfathers or fathers?) was the psychological self-respect and regained sense of self-worth, along with their restored faith in the future of their country at a time when everyone was broker than broke, and while Europe was burning with Hitler, Mussolini, etc... .
All you "Good Conservatives" out there think about that, next time you walk into your downtown Post Office painted inside with patriotic wall murals...or drive across a suspension bridge with a small stone plaque reading "WPA" (Works Project Administration)...your nation is great because a President with wisdom ordered a "socialistic" scheme as the exact medicine necessary to revive a near-dead capitalist free enterprise system.
And your nation is in a "terminal prognosis" state right now, because those who know very little if not nothing at all, are paid millions and millions by the corrupt establishment, to verbally assault and denounce publicly anyone and everyone who may even slightly disagree with them.
This week, Coulter's motto is "War with Iran Would Be Fun!".
We'll see if she's still singing that tune 6 months from today.
