Coulter Quote of the Week: `Bill of Rights, we don't need no stinking Bill of Rights'

by: kjbas58

This week's Ann Coulter Quote of the Week falls, unfortunately, on the Independence Day holiday. But we know you can't get along without our weekly dose of Coulter hate and wisdom as her appearance at Cleary University's Economic Club Speakers Luncheon Series fast approaches.

As we celebrate our unique from of government that gives U.S. Citizens the greatest freedoms ever known to mankind we get a few examples of Coulter's warped views of freedom. This is a Bill of Rights that gives people the right to be free in their persons houses, papers and effects against unreasonable search and seizure; due process of law; the presumption of innocence; and protection against cruel and unusual punishment. These are, apparently, values Coulter does not share.

If not for the 1st Amendment she would not be pulling down $30,000 for speaking for Cleary University and spreading her hateful and racist views.

Here are the weekly pearls of wisdom from the queen of hate:

"I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly."---MSNBC 3/22/97

"The presumption of innocence only means you don't go right to jail."---Hannity & Colmes 8/24/01

This quote emphasizing the dominatrix in Coulter probably goes over especially well with the non-redneck wing of her supporters (which would seem to include the types of folks in an economics club).

Now I've heard that men who like to pay to be dominated (such as being flogged - maybe even front of others if it gets kinkier) are often themselves the dominating types in their professional and/or home lives. That executives and the like make-up much of the clientele for the dommes. The reasoning I've heard behind this is they're usually so strung-out on power and running everything that they find relief in having someone else tell them what to do for a change. Another reason might be a need to be "punished" for the dirty deeds they do unto others professionally all the time - as guilt alleviation (if they even harbor guilt).

I don't know if there is any real data that supports this, but I like the theoretical arguments and it does seem to have some ring of truth to it.
