As he finished his speech, I walked up to him and told him “Mr. Congressman, I might be wrong but I recall reading an article in the Wall St. Journal, about an official in CO criticizing an earmark that Sen. Allard (R-CO) inserted in a spending bill, saying that it takes away the money the State gets from the federal government.” So I asked the Hon. Congressman “Is it true that when a congressman or senator inserts an earmark in a spending bill, he does not raise spending? That he just takes away the liberty from one bureaucrat to decide how to spend the money and decides himself where the money should go?”

The answer was yes.

So if earmarks do not raise spending and it’s not more then one tenth of one percent of the budget, why is there so much noise about it?

Because we do not communicate, and nobody amongst us is aware of the facts. We have to start communicating, and shouldn’t be afraid that someone will slam us, because if you fight back, you have a chance of winning, and if you don’t fight you don’t even have a chance of winning.

For those who haven’t heard yet, she managed to cross the line between cleverly snarky pundit and being pointlessly mean and crass at CPAC, by implying that she considered John Edwards to be a “faggot”….

Speaking Friday at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference CPAC) in Washington, D.C., Coulter closed her remarks with: “I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so I — so kind of an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.”

For those of you that never took an English course after 6th grade, she said that if she “…can’t really talk about Edwards” because of not wanting to “…use the word ‘faggot’”. She didn’t say “call someone a ‘faggot’”she said “use the word”. Maybe you think that is what she meant, but with some effort I’m sure you could use that word in a sentence discussing Edward’s political positions rather than his sexual ones. Possibly she was planning to use a word much worse than ‘faggot’ and lamenting what the punishment might be. And based on ‘tolerance’ what’s wrong with ‘faggot’? It’s much milder than what she has been called, and I thought while the word might be rude, the condition was to be celebrated.

It’s rude to be rude, but it’s worse to tolerate the PC nonsense that Orwell warned us about a half a century ago. If you allow your opponents to make the rules (and break them with no consequence)the best you can do is a fighting withdrawal (otherwise known as a retreat). Civilized discourse is for civilized debate, otherwise you must fight in the way that your opponents understand. The problem with many conservatives inside the beltway is that they begin to believe the boundaries that the media and leftists set are laws of nature, not artificial constructs.

English is a language that can be very precise and everyone seems to be interpreting this rather than reading it as it was said. This is the same thing that is so irritating about the misuse of the language by the lame stream media, it’s targeted to play to people whose jumping to conclusions based on inconclusive evidence is their main source of exercise.

Perhaps patent infringement on the use of technique, but which school of journalism actually holds the patent?

Then, the we don’t have to consider the seriously wrong, bad-for-America-and-the-world, and outright evil that conservatives propagate. Instead, we can have incessant talk-radio-like chatter about Ann’s latest proclamation. It was brilliant when the Left introduced Ann to the Right, knowing that sooner or later, she’d be the equivalent of the slight-of-hand trick that attracts all the attention, while we get back to the serious business of running the country.

Thanks Ann! Keep it up, don’t apologize, and whatever you do, don’t let on!

But I won’t.
