Fork Replaces Donkey As Democratic Party Symbol
Printer FriendlyBy: Ann Coulter
I'm not sure Sen. John Cornyn was helping with that lengthy presentation attempting to establish the many similarities between Samuel Alito and Sandra Day O'Connor.
It doesn't matter. Liberals are being routed. They can change the lineup, the manager, the coach, but the losing streak never ends. By and large, Republicans aren't even bothering to send in their A team anymore. Alito can start wearing his iPod to the hearings. By the end of the hearings, he'll be addressing the senators as "dude."
For fun, we ought to replace all the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee with "American Idol" contestants (assuming they wouldn't object to serving on a committee that includes a degenerate like Teddy Kennedy). Democrats would still not be able to persuade a single normal American that Sam Alito is "out of the mainstream."
With all their hysteria about Valerie Plame, I had nearly forgotten what the Democratic Party stands for. It's good to be reminded that the sole item on the Democrats' agenda is abortion.
According to Dianne Feinstein, Roe v. Wade is critically important because "women all over America have come to depend on it." At its most majestic, this precious right that women "have come to depend on" is the right to have sex with men they don't want to have children with.
There's a stirring principle! Leave aside the part of this precious constitutional right that involves (1) not allowing Americans to vote on the matter, and (2) suctioning brains out of half-born babies. The right to have sex with men you don't want to have children with is not exactly "Give me liberty, or give me death."
In the history of the nation, there has never been a political party so ridiculous as today's Democrats. It's as if all the brain-damaged people in America got together and formed a voting bloc.
The Federalists drafted the greatest political philosophy ever written by man and created the first constitutional republic. The anti-Federalists – or "pre-Democrats, as I call them – were formed to oppose the Constitution, which, to a great extent, remains their position today.
Andrew Jackson, the father of the Democratic Party, may have had some unpalatable goals, but at least they were big ideas. Wipe out the Indians, kill off the national bank and institute a spoils system. Love him or hate him, he never said, "I'll be announcing my platform sometime early next year." The Whigs were formed in opposition to everything Jackson stood for.
The Republican Party emerged from the Whigs when the Whigs waffled on slavery. (They were "pro-choice" on slavery.) The Republican Party was founded expressly as the anti-slavery party, which to a great extent remains their position today.
Having won that one, today's Republican Party stands for life, limited government and national defense. And today's Democratic Party stands for ... the right of women to have unprotected sex with men they don't especially like. We're the Blacks-Aren't-Property/Don't-Kill-Babies party. They're the Hook-Up party.
Leave aside any moral questions about baby-killing – a term I have come to understand the baby-killing party dislikes. Smoking is fun too, but even I wouldn't support a political party whose sole raison d'etre was to eliminate non-smoking sections across the nation. That's not exactly the Magna Carta.
This week's conventional wisdom is that the Democrats weren't even trying to nail Alito at the confirmation hearings. Au contraire! The Democrats were tigers! They proved exactly what they set out to prove.
In fact, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-Hillary's state, was so deft in his questioning, he even has me convinced that Alito is going to vote to overrule Roe v. Wade. (And just when I thought I couldn't be more enthusiastic about the nomination!)
I'll go out on a limb and bet that, after the Democrats' expert cross-examination, Judge Alito has lost the support of every single member of NARAL.
The problem for the Democrats is: NARAL members aren't like most people. "Give me liberty or give me the right to have unprotected sex with men I don't want to have a child with" just isn't that attractive a principle in the light of day.

As always, a well thought out and provocative missive.
I can only hope that everyone has an opportunity to watch as much of the proceedings as possible. It is truly like standing on the side of an icy road watching wreck after wreck as the democrabs self-destruct.
The senators limited to 30 minutes of badgering the witness have spent most of their allotted time bloviating, obfuscating, self-promoting and grandstanding.
Even the notoriously publicity-shy Senator Chucky Schumer spent some 22 minutes out of his 30 listening rapturously to the mellifluousness of his own voice.
If the democrabs can not nail down the good Judge on any topic or issue it is directly due to their inability to provide enough time for Sam Alito (or is it Alioto as the senior senator from Massachusetts claims?) to say anything to cause any concern.
For my money, the best part was on Wednesday when the aforementioned Senator Kennedy (D-UI) was making hysterical demands for executive sessions and vote after vote after vote, etc, etc, etc. One would think that Judge Alito was being accused of murder rather than sitting for confirmation for the Supreme Court. Gee, I hope that does not strike a nerve with anyone!) I was gratified and surprised when Sen. Spector (R-INO) actually put his foot down and reminded the stunt driver from Massachusetts that he was in charge of the proceedings and would not be badgered by good ol’ Teddy.
If the vote is anything less than party lines, I will be surprised. But the underlying story is one of contempt for the American people and the devotion to ideology the democrabs are displaying. Judge Alito is one of the most brilliant legal minds in American history. Regardless of how he might rule downline is irrelevant. (Bear in mind, we have been snake-bit in the past.) Any committee member who votes against Judge Alito need to have their patriotism questioned, their offices inundated with emails, faxes and phone calls and subsequently voted out of office at their next election.
These are just my thoughts; I may be a tad off base.
But, I doubt it.

As usual, an excellent piece. I managed to survive about 4 minutes of my "Sophmore" Senator Schumer before having to change the station. Here in the "Peoples Republic of New York," I'm reminded daily that "Liberalism IS a Mental Disorder," and not a political philosophy. Keep up the good work.

I am so glad Ann has the courage to say what others are afraid to say. "The right to have sex with men they don't want to have children with." I think I am going to have to steal that line. It's perfect. Thanks, Anne for continuing to expose the reality of the "pro-choice" mind-set. We fellow "pro-lifers" love you for it.

Good column Ann! You really put it in black & white. We are like some historic religious cult making a sacrifice of the unborn, but ours is upon the altar of conveinence. We are no better, and somewhat worse, than the Greek's who took unwanted babies and left them in the rubbish heap.
And Democrat's accusing Alito of being a bigot while former KKK leader Sen. Byrd gets praise from the same hypocritical bunch!

Great column, Ann. Liberalism is a religion like Islam. It has bloody borders, depends on tyranny to survive, hates liberty, and is obsessed with death and forcing others to submit to its authority. They make great bedfellows. One difference, however. Islam insists that its women remain pure before marriage and faithful in marriage. Liberals want to screw their girls and nail their neighbors' wives, daughters, and sons...oh, and also their neighbors...all of them.

Ann you nailed it right on the head. They're finished being a party of any sense of sanity. You did fail to mention Russ Feingoat's (D-UMB) query on who was "coaching" Judge Alito during the hearings. I don't know about you but I didn't see ANY prepared work on the desk. His answers and citings were off the top of his head and not prepped at all.

If it was not so serious, it would be funny.Ted Kennedy is an hiprocasy and an embarassement to all Americans and to the memories of Jack and Robert Kennedy. Senator Edward Kennedy will succumb to history like Robert Byrd as reminders of a forelorne past, when values mean't nothing to the Demorcatic Party, only votes and power.Americans needed this christening of the Democratic Spirit to set the moral compass in the right direction.

That does it. I can't take it anymore. Ann, you are formally invited to my Super Bowl party. You've proved you can hang.

Ann, You are so right and it is REALLY SCARY because half of Our Country VOTES that way!
On Judge Alito and the "CAP" (really is that all they had to waste 2 weeks of time and taxpayer money or maybe they just wanted to see a woman cry, go figure), he stated several times to the Senator ara, ara, ara from (DUI)<thats a classic, he only became aware of "CAP" because of their willingness to fight the intent of Princeton to dismantle the ROTC Program!
On what I'm sure will be Ann's next blog, how about usama bin laden today quoting almost word for word from the liberal talking points. For the life of me I don't see how these people sleep at night. Oh wait they rest easy knowing the NY Times and Philly Inquirer have their back.
Thank God for YOU and those like ya Ann!
