p> Whether one agrees with Ann Coulter's way of expressing it, her point is well taken. The New Jersey Chicks chose to politicize their grief, and at some point, therefore, their exemption from criticism expires. Ms. Coulter says: the expiration date is past, off with the gloves! Two kinds of people constitute the electorate in our nation: 1) those who claim some kind of victim-hood (gimme money and/or power and don't criticize me or I'll report you to the PC police, media, bureaus, trial lawyers, etc.), and, 2) those who would never think of living their lives in such a disgusting fashion and disdain those who do. Generally speaking, those in Group 1 gravitate toward the Democrat Party (what is the party other than a coalition of complaint groups?), and those in Group 2 gravitate toward the Republican Party, believing (for the most part, correctly) that those in Group 1 are merely moralizing while trying to pick their pockets. Ms. Coulter has hit this wedge squarely on the head. br> -- Ty Knoy br> Ann Arbor, Michigan /p> p> The "Jersey Girls" righteousness and graphic details towards their loved one's deaths on 9/11 also point to another attempt by liberals to score an argumentative point that cannot be responded to. This is a common trait among the left: Jack Murtha, John Kerry, you can't criticize them unless YOU ALSO FOUGHT in Vietnam. You can't criticize behavior of those that died of AIDS because of their own personal conduct. You can't criticize any Hip-Hop lyrics because "it's a black thing." Many groups and causes have good moral foundations upon which we should advocate. We cannot however, default to them the territory to speak as "experts," or as the moral authority. br> -- P. Aaron Jones br> Huntington Woods, Michigan /p> p> In a nutshell, after reading your provocative article about the insane article Ms. Coulter put out where she rationalizes going after a person's private space to grieve, I find only one sentence worth writing to you, as you yourself said Mr. Judge, I do believe that because you feel you can choose how one should grieve the death of a loved one, for you being so incredibly heartless, you just may be as you said "going to hell" where you can say "hi" to all the terrorists we have killed up 'till today. It's just that simple...how do you sleep at night? br> -- "Disgusted in New York" /p>

Precisely, Mr. Judge. Ann can be blunt, indelicate, and brutally honest, but she cannot and will not be manipulated by those who have sold their souls for a mess of political pottage. She believes we still need a two-by-four up the side of our pointy heads to focus our attention on reality and she delivers. Her books are an adult read for adult times.
