*Liberals deny, of course, that liberalism is a religion – otherwise, they'd lose their government funding. "Separation of church and state" means separation of your church from the state, but total unity between their church and the state. [http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=22829]

*ACLU and Evolution. "The ACLU sued a school district in Cobb County Georgia, merely for putting stickers in biology textbooks that urged students to study evolution 'with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.' <ref>Ariel Hart, "Stickers Put in Evolution Text Are the Subject of a Federal Trial," New York Times, November 9, 2004</ref> According to the ACLU, an open mind violates the 'separation of church and state,' which appears in the Constitution just after the abortion and sodomy clauses." <ref>Ann Coulter, Godless: The Church of Liberalism (New York: Crown Publishing Group, 2006)</ref>

Among the more controversial sections of the book was Ann Coulter’s attack on several women who had lost their husbands in 9/11 and had voiced criticism of President Bush’s approach to terrorism:
“These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis.... I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much ... how do we know their husbands weren't planning to divorce these harpies? Now that their shelf life is dwindling, they'd better hurry up and appear in Playboy.”
Rather than answering any of her criticisms of liberal ideology substantively, critics made ''ad hominem'' attacks. "Ad hominem" means "against the man", rather than against what the man is saying (or in Coulter's case, against the woman). It is typical of liberals to change the subject and refuse to debate issues but rather to distract people with side issues or outright irrelevancies.
