The Devil Wears Tactlessness

There are many people that annoy me in this world. A certain coworker. A certain family member. The Jonas Brothers. Robert Pattinson. Subsequently, Twilight freaks. Ann Coulter.

The last one holds a very special place in my heart. I'm not blasting her for being conservative. Heck, I'm socially conservative as well. Maybe not to the extreme level that she is, but I'm sure we share a few fundamental beliefs. The reason she irritates me is that she can never keep her mouth shut.

It's one thing to be honest. It's one thing to be open about one's views. It's a completely different thing to not know when your comments are insensitive and hurtful. In regard to the murder of famed abortionist George Tiller, she said:

"I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester."

Okay, so when did abortion become something funny? Something we can just joke about so cavalierly? I'm not going to go off on a diatribe about my moral views on the subject. Whether you think it's murder, or an acceptable form of population control, one thing can be agreed upon: It is a serious thing. Whether or not you think it's killing a life, it affects everyone it involves. It affects the doctors, the women who undergo it, the baby, and their family and friends. It's not something to joke about.

What really bothers me, is the following quote from regarding the previous quote:

"I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others."

Shut up, Ann Coulter. So, you don't want to impose your beliefs on others, but you publish books with titles such as "If Democrats Had Any Brains They'd Be Republicans" and "How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must): The World According to Ann Coulter." I have 2 problems with this.

1. First of all, regarding the latter title, I love that she's so wise and all-knowing that she can claim that last part of her title. The World According to Ann Coulter. How scary.

2. If she doesn't like to impose her moral values on others, why does she constantly publish work in which she's shoving her political ideology down people's throats? So she's not only an insensitive bitch, but she's an arrogant liar.

I despise Ann Coulter and hope she gets a revelation. I hope she finds Jesus. I hope she finds something that helps her realize the error of her ways.
