CAN'T STOP/ WON'T STOP: the bitch has balls

The "lil Kim" of America's conservative movement has returned with a new book dedicated to exposing Liberalism as a state sponcored religion with abortion, gay marriage, and atheism as its tenets. She lays out a somewhat rationale argument for this thesis by citing countless (meticulously researched and endnoted I'm certain) examples of Liberals bashing Christianity and Christian values. Ann does her part to uphold the "turn the other cheek" philosophy Jesus lived by by calling the widows of the 9/11 victims who protested the war "witches and harpies" and opines that thier husbands were going to leave them anyway. She ponders how women could "enjoy their husbands deaths so much." The fact that Hillary Clinton, (who, like being a fan of the yankees and the Mets, is, depending on the audience: Christian, Jewish and Muslim) picked a fight with the Cornell firebrand who helped get her husband impeached was a great promotional tool for Ann. Ann has been around Long Island recently getting heckled in bookstores while Sean Hannity reads a question off an index card someone else wrote for him. (This is why Fox is #1) The book, full disclosure, I have not read yet. I've read 25%. The chapter where she evisorates the "jersey girls" for example illustrates Ann making a point and defeating it by being less honorable than the women she is criticizing. Ann's philosophy on discourse is that to defeat extreme liberalism, conservatives have to roll out a level of cacaphonous hatred that would make Jesse Healms pause, but they must do so intelligently. She is correct in her assertion that liberals drag out "untouochables" to make thieir points. These are people who: were injured in Iraq, lost loved ones in 9/11, or for whatever reason cannot be challenged in the public arena(except by Ann) on the merits of their argument because of their story. It's worth buying for the look on other people faces in the bookstore (I get in an argument every time!.) Plus Ann needs more money to provide security for herself. As a fan of hers, not a follower, a fan; I think she's gotten so good at drumming up excitement that she trades meaningful arguments for shouting in packed Huntington bookstores filled with crazy people. The security is tighter than the white house. However it cant be easy to, as Kim would say "blow that big." In Ann's own words, her career proves that nerve might indeed concur all: "I had no one to blame for my failure which sent me on the dreaded upward spiral of success." That is the last line of the last paragraph of her last book where she talks about her family and if you listen real close, you can hear a little girl from New Canaan Connecticut who at times, is simply astounded at her impact. The new book is out everywhere. "GODLESS: The Church of Liberalism." Another Bestseller. Give the NY Times # 1 blonde badass her due.
