Thread Name: BS: Ann Coulter in Canada
Subject: RE: BS: Ann Coulter in Canada
That is interesting Sawzaw, I came to the US believing in a lot of ideas and principles which I thought made this country great. I thought that Americans were strong and stead fast and stuck to their principles and Constitution.

Then came 9/11, and Bush and Cheney and a quarter of the country calling themselves "conservatives" willing to abandon those principles because they were afraid. The cowardly reaction to terrorist action that I saw after 9/11 saddened and disappointed me. Coulter is someone who rose to prominence in the wake of 9/11, peddling the cowardice and prejudice that those acts engendered. In the USA I had envisioned, she would be allowed to speak, but an American who believed in the principles this country cherishes would not listen to her.
