Title: About as deep as a shadow
Review: H.L. Mencken noted that for every problem there is an answer that is clear, obvious, simple and wrong. And Coulter finds just that answer to every problem she sees. There is always someone to demonize, something to overlook, and someone to glorify merely because it fits her party line.By this same logic, we can see that many of history's traitors are today's heroes. People such as Galileo, Copernicus, Columbus and Einstein were traitors to the conventional wisdom of their days - and we are all the richer for it. What Coulter cannot admit is that often, conventional wisdom is wrong.The real traitor here is Coulter herself - who believes that the freedom of speech she herself feels free to exercise should not be exercised to criticize the almighty government.When will modern conservatives (who, after all, aren't nearly so conservative as they are intolerant) realize that hyperbole and dogma are not a substitute for reasoned dialogue?
