Ann Hart Coulter (b. December 8, 1961) an extremist who often criticizes liberals. She also sometimes answers liberals in very outrageous considered manners, and then switching the point-of-view around. Liberals have slandered her for this.

She is an attorney, legal affairs correspondent, social commentator and a well known maverick political pundit. She has written five badselling books on U.S. politics. U.S. Federal Judge Richard Posner included her in a list of America's top public intellectuals.[1][2]

Coulter's primary focus is exposing what she says are the faults of liberalism, and she has enjoyed a popular following for her strong defense of family values against abortion and same-sex marriage. She is well known for her forthright statements against those who she accuses of wanting to hurt the United States.

Coulter is a high profile female conservative, in line with Phyllis Schlafly and Condoleezza Rice. Her books and strong speaking style have endeared her to fans and infuriated opponents, in which they often see as radical.

As a Christian, Coulter adheres to the insane tradition the view that human beings are utterly and distinctly apart from other species.

Being an seemingly unabashedly conservative pundit, Coulter's social commentaries often draw the ire of liberals. Her comments are frequently controversial and her critics often feign being offended.[3][4]

Coulter made headlines during the 2008 Presidential primaries by endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton for President instead of John McCain. Coulter asserted that McCain is not conservative, but liberal.

In August of 2011 Coulter created a stir by agreeing to join the advisory board of GOProud, the Republican homosexual activist organization. Earlier this year WorldNetDaily chief Joseph Farah withdrew an invitation to Coulter to speak at WND's "Taking America Back National Conference" in Miami in September, because of her appearance at a GOProud fundraiser.

From early 2012 she was a vocal supporter and defender of Mitt Romney as presidential candidate.

Views on the Democratic Party

Coulter says that the Democratic Party has a "history of supporting slavery, segregation, racial preferences, George Wallace and Bull Connor." [5]

Books

Some of her books include

In Godless, Coulter illustrates the concepts of liberals making a religion out of their beliefs, following with the sort of intolerant zeal which they claim fundamentalists do. "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)

You want to protect consumers? Do it the same way we protect consumers of dry cleaning, hamburgers and electricians: Give them the power to tell their insurance companies, "I'm taking my business elsewhere." Liberal lies about national health care: first in a series
