p> NOT YOUR FATHER'S CONSERVATIVE br> Re: David Hogberg's Not Funny : /p>

Thank you David Hogberg for saying what has long needed to be said about Ann Coulter from the conservative perspective. I have spent my whole life as a conservative living down the presumption of many liberals that all conservatives are insane racists. I have watched the left fall from dominating Washington to minority status, in no small part because they lost the ability to make cogent arguments and could only resort to abuse. The last thing conservatives need to do is to follow the same path, or to give liberals fodder for their cheap shots.

p>To those who think there's something macho about Coulter's antics: Ronald Reagan never said things like that. Neither did Barry Goldwater. Neither did Jim Buckley. They used ideas and facts to fight. And they weren't exactly wimps. br> -- Paul Windels III br> Scarsdale, New York /p> p> Long live Ann Coulter!! Who is this Hogberg, anyways? br> -- Jack Hughes
