:"I was in kindergarten and the teacher was trying to read us the story of Bambi. She was wearing a black armband, and one kid asked why. So she gave this speech against the Vietnam War. I raised my little paw and started arguing what I'd heard at home; that you stand by your allies and that we'd be breaking a promise. We never got to Bambi that day." <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/ann-coulter-the-blonde-assassin-556813.html|title="Ann Coulter: The blond assassin"|accessdate=January 2, 2010|last = Byrnes|first = Sholto|date=August 16, 2004|work=The Independent [U.K.]}}</ref>
