How To Talk To A Liberal

Crown Forum Publishing: New York, 2004.

This is truly the only book you will ever need to read. Ann Coulter devastates the ignorant liberal establishment right from page 1, line 1, in this collection of her best writings.

Historically, the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents’ homes, get a job, and start paying taxes. If this doesn’t work, you might have to actually argue with a liberal.

Arguing with liberals is not for the faint of heart. They tend to wave their arms drastically, make loud conspiratorial accusations and move onto something else whenever you try to disagree. They maintain that rough interrogation of proven terrorists ‘doesn’t work’ when it has been proven over and over again. They resist racial profiling on the same grounds, and often try to harness the rhetoric of ‘science’ to support their agenda, and this has worked in the past because of an ignorant base. They seem more concerned with reciting talking points from the liberal media than explaining the hypocrisy and opportunism of their leaders, perhaps most notably Bill Clinton.

Liberals get really angry when you talk about Iraq. They can’t handle the fact that the people of Iraq are now free from the threat of torture, rape and murder from their own government. Quite often, however, if you let them scream “Bush lied! Kids died!” long enough they will eventually knock themselves out and you can resume with your rational argument. The trick to arguing with liberals is to try and endure the name calling, mud slinging and talking point slogans, let them run out of breath and then you can begin to address the real issues. Counterterrorism is more efficient and economical with racial profiling, and AIDS is predominantly a homosexual disease. Targeting these social concerns as they relate to risks/benefits to society instead of against liberals’ wishful egalitarian philosophy exposes segments of society to undue risk and creates MARKET FAILURE. Liberals are more concerned with promoting their illusion of an equal society than helping to create one.

Arguing with liberals is a daunting task. In general it is best to avoid talking to liberals about anything beyond the latest episode of Friends or Sex and the City, but if you must engage them about the important issues facing civilization, be patient and try to understand that they think they are related to monkeys. We must be vigilant. Listen to what they have to say, but be wary of who told them to say it. Enrage them if you can. This often exposes their mental incapacities and their points of weakness become clear. Expose their hypocrisy and ask them to make the first sacrifice for any proposal they put forward. Do not bother trying to win the argument, because they will just yell at you some more, but if you can illustrate their stupidity to the world, at least the world will see the truth. Liberals like to stereotype and demonize opposing arguments so as to avoid having to actually debate them. They try to tap into a heinous worldview that humans are the scourge of the earth, that the value of human life is tentative to common notions of convenience and that past historical crimes must be avenged upon the descendants of the perpetrators. Liberals will often cite articles from scientific journals and textbooks to support their arguments – they themselves do not understand what these things mean, but they like to think that it legitimizes their discussion. They think that by deferring the discussion to some boring literature that you will lose all interest and the debate will end a draw. Liberals love a draw. They will try to muddy the water enough so that you will just give up. Don’t. If they direct you to the literature, don’t bother. Just read Ann Coulter’s book. She tells you everything you need to know if you are going to talk to a liberal.
