Ann Coulter and victims

Ann and I are on the same page with Liberals being obsessed with victims and exploiting the victim mentality. Her book, Guilty, also showed me a different side. I believe (and still do) that the Democratic party is always on the lookout for groups they can single out and proclaim as the latest victims. For victims to exist, you need the villains. And for villains to exist, you need heroes. So the Democratic party tirelessly proclaims how groups of people (by ethnicity, social class, gender, life choices) are being victimized by Republicans, businesses, or other traditional targets. Ann's book highlights that some of the very groups that are being victimized arent victims at all! I can't say that I agree with everything in her book, but she raises some very valid points about the victimization of single mothers for instance. She also highlights the disparities in media coverage and victimization between democrats and republicans. Now, Ann is not known for her tact. Her book would probably be unreadable by card carrying liberals. That is really a shame. Her book is incredible well researched with hundreds and hundreds of citations. Ann just cannot hold back, though, constant jabs and sarcasm when it comes to liberal thinking.

Obama just recently has stated in speeches how HE is going to be targeted personally on his health care ideas. He is going to be attacked. He is a victim. Bill Clinton said similar things during his presidency. I cant remember though G.W. making himself out to be the victim though. Can you?

Creating this false victim mentality distracts from real issues and real debate. Conservatism does not believe of segragating people into groups. Always talking about people as latino, black, gay, or poor. As if all latinos think alike. Conservatism focuses on personal responsibility and the power of the individual. Republicans have a hard time criticizing the record of Judge Sotomayor for fear that they will be called racist and sexist. You cannot criticize that poor poor latina.

It seems like as long as the Democratic party pushes that kind of racial nonsense, racism will never truely end in this country. I would even wager the Democratic party would be WORSE off if racism truely ended in this country. That wont keep them down, though. They will just find new ways to segregate groups and tell them how oppressed they are.
