From Ann: SORRY FOR THE DELAY, KIDS! IN ADDITION TO ALL THE IMPORTANT ADVICE BELOW, IT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO HONOR YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE PATRIOTIC PARENTS LIKE I DO. NOT SO MUCH, IF THEY'RE LIBERALS. ANYWAY, MY PARENTS WERE BOTH IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN I FIRST GOT THESE QUESTIONS, SO I WASN'T ABLE TO GET TO THEM FOR AWHILE. MY PARENTS ARE BOTH DOING VERY WELL NOW, THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT I COULD HAVE GOTTEN. Here is the Q&A 1. Hi I would like to ask Ms. Coulter about the topic of Che Guevara shirts as well as other communist shirts including CCCP and hammer and sickle shirts. Why is it alright for youths to wear a shirt with representation to years of oppression and atrocities if it pertains to communism, but if I wear a shirt that represented ravages committed by a non-communist regimes say, Adolf Hitler or Nazi Germany, I would be vilified like there is no tomorrow? People are so blind to the devastations committed by communist regimes. (Khmer Rouge, Road to Bones, Gulags, Great Purges, North Korea, China's religious persecutions, Cuba) Thanks for the opportunity, I really appreciate it. From Lance Newman, SUNY Buffalo A: LANCE, THE ANSWER IS THAT KILLING 6 MILLION JEWS IS BAD AND REVOLTING. KILLING 20 MILLION RUSSIANS IS NOT BAD. CRAP, DON'T THEY TEACH YOU ANYTHING AT SUNY? BY THE WAY, I HEAR THE CHE GUEVARA, CHAIRMAN MAO, C.C.C.P., AND HAMMER & SICKLE SHIRTS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY PROFITABLE FOR THEIR MANUFACTURERS-THUS NEGATING THE CORE BELIEFS OF EVERYONE DEPICTED ON THE SHIRTS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CAPITALIZE ON THIS TREND OF LIBERALS SPORTING T-SHIRTS WITH KILLERS ON THEM. HOW ABOUT MARKETING A T-SHIRT FEATURING LADY KILLER SENATOR TED KENNEDY? 2. Ann, What is the best way to get involved at such a young age? I'm only 16 so what can I do to help our fellow conservatives? Thank you so much for your books and inspiration and letting me know there are good people in this world...much like you! Thanks again! ~Spenser Swihart, St. Joseph's High School A: BEST WAY: GET YOUR PARENTS TO BUY YOU MY BOOKS, MY BOOKS ON TAPE, MY ACTION FIGURE, AND THE SOON-TO-BE-RELEASED ANN COULTER ABSTINENCE KIT (WHICH IS AN 8 X 10 GLOSSY OF SUSAN ESTRICH), IMPORTANT FOR BOYS YOUR AGE. WORST WAY: CONGRESSIONAL PAGE PROGRAM. JUST NOT A GOOD AREA RIGHT NOW. 3. Ms. Coulter, As a student at a small, private women's college, I have been very concerned about the recent trend of women's college being converted to co-educational institutions. I am interested in your view on institutions dedicated to the education of women. Also, what do you see in the future for women's colleges? Thank you! Melissa Wilson, Salem College A: BOYS HAVE COOTIES, BOY COOTIES TO BE PRECISE. LETTING BOY COOTIES LOOSE ON AN OTHERWISE STERILE, AND I AM SURE, WELL COLOR-COORDINATED CAMPUS IS INSANE. IT IS NOT AN EDUCATION ISSUE, IT IS A HEALTH ISSUE. 4. Miss Coulter, I am amazed at your scope of knowledge of the issues. Your books have more footnotes than any other I have read. (Excluding textbooks … but I can't say I have ever read one from cover to cover, or anywhere near that.) When you are on the speaking circuit or on a television interview and are hit with a tough question you always have an answer that would have taken me an hour and an internet connection to formulate. How did you get to this point? What would your advice be to us to cultivate a mastery of the issues like that? PS. Keep throwing your punches. I loved your speech at CPAC this past year, no matter what the kum bah yah liberals say about it. Chris Meece - Eastern Kentucky University A: LET ME GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT. HAHAHA - JUST KIDDING, THE REAL ANSWER IS: BOOZE AND CIGARETTES. BOOZE AND CIGARETTES. THIS IS WHY THE LEFT WANTS TO OUTLAW THEM BOTH. NO, I'M STILL KIDDING. READ AS MUCH AS YOU CAN FROM AS MANY SOURCES AS YOU CAN. I'VE SPENT MANY A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT AT HOME READING, STUDYING, AND DOING RESEARCH - AND I'VE BEEN OUT OF SCHOOL FOR SOME TIME NOW. START WITH PAUL JOHNSON'S MODERN TIMES: THE WORLD FROM THE TWENTIES TO THE NINETIES. THEN READ TREASON: LIBERAL TREACHERY FROM THE COLD WAR TO THE WAR ON TERRORISM AND YOU WILL KNOW PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER NEED TO KNOW. THIS WEEK I'M ALSO RECOMMENDING GERALD SCHROEDER'S THE SCIENCE OF GOD - WHICH I WAS HOME READING LAST NIGHT. AMAZING BOOK BY AN MIT PHYSICIST, SHOWING THE MANY WAYS SCIENCE HAS PROVED GENESIS RIGHT. AMAZING. 5. Ms. Coulter, I am so impressed with your dedication to undermining the Liberal ideology. You are the beau ideal of what I hope to be someday! I am a Junior in High School and where I live it is very hard to find young conservative activists like myself that want to stand up for the Conservative cause. A lot of them don't understand the atrocity behind the Liberal religion. By the way....LOVED Godless. So, I was wondering if you could give some advice to a rising Conservative on how to persuade others to not be so self-contained to the Liberal cause. I believe it is essential for the youth of America to be involved in this politically correct savagery. A: THE KEY IS NOT TO CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF YOU - THAT'S THE WHOLE SECRET. ONCE YOU DO THAT, PARADOXICALLY, EVERYONE WHOSE OPINION MATTERS WILL LOVE YOU. (AS AN ADDED BONUS, NOT CARING WHAT LIBERALS THINK WILL DRIVE THEM EVEN CRAZIER THAN THEY ALREADY ARE.) ALSO, REMEMBER THAT EVEN LAZY, BORED STUDENTS KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEING LIED TO -- ISLAM IS A “RELIGION OF PEACE,” RACIAL QUOTAS ARE FAIR, GIRLS MAKE AS GOOD MARINES AS BOYS. THE TRUTH IS INHERENTLY APPEALING. My second and final question is in reference to your Editorial career. I am editor of Opinion s& Editorials for my high school newspaper and was seeking advice on how to be more effective in unveiling the Liberal doctrine without losing eloquence. You have such a beautiful way of writing your weekly columns, but also have startling persuasive techniques. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you in the future! -Toni Woods, Amherst County High School A: WRITE LIKE YOU TALK --AS IF YOU ARE SENDING AN EMAIL TO A SMART FRIEND. THEN EDIT IT ABOUT 50 TIMES, SO IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN YOU TALK. 6. Could you ask Ann if she's ever going to get a radio or a TV show? A: THEY'VE ALREADY OFFERED ME A SPOT ON “THE VIEW” AFTER ROSIE O'DONNELL LEAVES. TALK ABOUT SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL… ALSO, NO ONE ASKED ME THIS, BUT DON'T GO TO LAW SCHOOL.
