| | + | bestselling [[United States of America|American]] books |
| | + | that present [[conservative]] views. |
| | + | Coulter was named one of America's top public intellectuals by federal judge Richard Posner. [http://www.godlessthechurchofliberalism.com/] |
| | + | |
| | + | Coulter has earned a strong following among conservatives for |
| | + | her stances against [[liberal]]ism, her outspokenness against all those who wish to hurt the [[United States of America|United States]], and her strong defense of family values against [[abortion]] and [[same-sex marriage]]. |
| | + | |
| | + | Coulter is the most high profile female Conservative since [[Phyllis Schlafly]]. Her incoherent books and vitriolic speaking style have endeared her to fans and infuriated opponents. She's well-known for the over-the-top insults inserted into all her public comments. The ''Washington Post'' said, "Coulter is known for pushing the boundaries of acceptable discourse."

| | + | As a Christian, Coulter attributes to the Judeo-Christian tradition the view that human beings are utterly and distinctly apart from other species. |

| | + | ==Books== |
| | + | |
| | + | Some of her books include |
| | + | *''[[High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton]]'' (2002) |

| | + | *''[[Godless:_The_Church_of_Liberalism|Godless: The Church of Liberalism]]'' (2007) |
| | + | |
| | + | In ''Godless'', Coulter argues that liberals make a religion out of their beliefs which they follow with the same sort of intolerant zeal which they condemn in [[fundamentalist]]s. "Liberalism is a comprehensive belief system denying the Christian belief in man's immortal soul [and] that we are moral beings in God's image." (pg. 3) |

Otherwise, we displace aggression but don't destroy it. Americans are weaker for having seen that kind of carnage in World War II. Recall that the Worst Generation was raised by the Greatest Generation. That tells you how awful war is. The Greatest Generation was so exhausted by the war, it didn't have the spine to stand up to pot-smoking, draft-dodging hippies occupying administration buildings." <REF>This appeared on Coulter's web site on April 4th, 2007. http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/article.cgi?article=177</REF> | | * "If you want a shorter rebuilding process, then we're going to have to wage less humane wars.
