This forceful, sarcastic, and often hilarious book offers tips on arguing with liberals, which include the following: don't be defensive, always outrage the enemy, and never apologize to, compliment, or show graciousness to a Democrat. Welcome to the world according to Ann Coulter. Ever combative, Coulter is unafraid to court controversy or confront her detractors head-on, whether they are mainstream journalists and talk-show hosts who have misquoted her without apology or "weak and frightened conservatives" craving liberal approval. Though the writing is often over-the-top, the book if full of one-liners that will delight conservatives, such as "the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parents' home, get a job, and start paying taxes." But there is more here than just insults and countless jabs at Bill Clinton, and even her most devoted readers will find much new material in the book. Largely a collection of her syndicated columns from the past decade, How to Talk to a Liberal also includes columns that were never released or were rejected by editors--in Coulter's words, "what you could have read if you lived in a free country." --Shawn Carkonen

Book Description
Welcome to the world of Ann Coulter. With her monumental bestsellers Treason, Slander, and High Crimes and Misdemeanors, Coulter has become the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual in years—and certainly the most controversial. Now, in How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must), which is sure to ignite impassioned debate, she offers her most comprehensive analysis of the American political scene to date. With incisive reasoning, refreshing candor, and razor-sharp wit, she reveals just why liberals have got it so wrong.
In this powerful and entertaining book, which draws on her weekly columns, Coulter ranges far and wide. No subject is off-limits, and no comment is left unsaid. After all, she writes, “Nothing too extreme can be said about liberals because it’s all true.” How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) offers Coulter’s unvarnished take on:
•The essence of being a liberal: “The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.”
•John Kerry: “A reporter asked Kerry, ‘Are you for or against gay marriage?’ As usual, his answer was, ‘Yes.’ ”
•Her 9/11 comments: “I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity. The answer is: Now more than ever!”
•The state of the Democratic Party: “Teddy Kennedy crawls out of Boston Harbor with a quart of Scotch in one pocket and a pair of pantyhose in the other, and Democrats hail him as their party’s spiritual leader.”
•Her philosophy for arguing with liberals: “Tough love, except I don’t love them. My ‘tough love’ approach is much like the Democrats’ ‘middle-class tax cuts’—everything but the last word.”
•The “Treason Lobby”: “Want to make liberals angry? Defend the United States.”
In this full-on Coulterpalooza, you’ll find the real, uncensored Ann Coulter. A special concluding chapter even includes the pieces that squeamish editors refused to publish—“what you could have read if you lived in a free country,” says Coulter. How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must) is a stunning reminder of why Ann Coulter’s commentary has achieved must-read status.

Anyone can write a book these days..........2007-10-09
It doesn't matter if you ignore the facts and instead just rant and rave. Hey, if you please the right people you're going to make lots of money! I think I'm going to write my own book called, "How to talk to dumb blonds, if you must."
Once again....Right on!.......2007-10-02
This is absolutely one of Ann's greatest books. She says the things I think quietly to myself. Maybe SHE should be the first woman President.
Her best book.......2007-10-01
This is, in my opinion, Ann Coulter's strongest book. The book is a collection of the essays that she writes weekly and posts on her website and on some conservative sites. Ann Coulter is a good writer and a strong thinker; she has the ability to construct very strong arguments. However, I have never been impressed with her ability to turn her arguments into books. Treason, Godless, etc all have very interesting ideas in them but her argument gets away from her at time.
How to Talk to a Liberal though is different. Coulter's ability to form strong arguments really shines in the short essay format and the essays collected in this book are a real treat to read. I don't agree with everything that Coulter writes but what she has written in this book is bound to make the reader take another look at some of the most serious political issues of our time.
Coulter: The High Priestess of Lunacy.......2007-09-27
Ann Coulter...what can we say about her? I'll take her very own approach to reviewing this book. This book is evil, the work of Satan. Republicans hate America, hate reason and knowledge, hate anything but brainwash, and wallow in primitive myths. There. Brilliant review, right Annie? Annie are you ok, are you ok, Annie?
P.S. At the time of this writing, there are 227 available used copies, starting at less than $1.50! That's funny.
The best political book I've ever read!!!!!.......2007-09-01
Anne Coulter has got to be the greatest conservative mind of our era! Her views and opinions in this book are undeniable and so true.
Book Description
CAUTION: You’re about to enter the world of Ann Coulter

When saying "here Fido---good dog" is not an option.......2007-09-29
OK, let's be clear on this: Coulter's latest little round of lib-bait-&-smash isn't an instruction manual, or even a primer on what a good American conservative can use as snappy comebacks & snarky rejoinders to liberal dunderheadedness, not at all.
It's like that Alien diplomacy primer back in the Golden Age (the 1950's): It's a cookbook!
A cookbook for serving up the peculiarly suicidal phylae known as the Genus Apologeticus Liberalis Americanus: the whiney, uber-politically correct American left-winger. Well done, baby.
And it's admirably civil, compared to my own little book dictating personal conversations with Liberals. How to talk to a Liberal? Easy:
*"I'd like fries with that."
*"Medium starch on the pants."
*"I'd like two tickets for the 8:30 show."
*"Put some real elbow grease into it!"
*"No, no, you're doing it all wrong---you need to use more tongue on the sole---it's not shiny enough!"
And so forth. By contrast, Coulter's wicked little polemic cooks, bastes, boils, friccasees, and sautees the bane of American political discourse: the community-college educated leftist/statist, a creature in vast supply today (free range, no less!) running wild chiefly in newsrooms, Hollywood watering holes, faculty lounges, and in general on the blasted heath of the brain-dead, intellectually starved steppe-lands of what remains of today's American academy.
Coulter's point is not anti-intellectual or ignorantly dismissive: "How to Talk to a Liberal" takes it as a given that the Liberal doesn't want real debate. He doesn't want to talk to you: he wants Power.
Make no mistake about it: the American Leftist, or, as he calls himself (to better hide his goatish hooves and curling horns) the "Liberal", is a tireless enemy of freedom. He has had a major hand in creating the lifeless, lustreless, boil-covered society through whose grey streets the majority of our quivering population is now forced to scuttle.
Think of what we've lost in ten years: having a cigar around the office to celebrate landing the Gorfingle account, having a nice cigar over a steak dinner at the Bull & the Bear, smoking ciggies in New York & El Lay bars, driving down the road with a Fuzzy Navel in one hand and your cellphone in the other, not worrying about the Gestapo pulling you over for not wearing a seatbelt, big dorsal finned roaring American cars built from Detroit steel that belch out black smoke and make grass die---God, man, you could go on forever.
The Left has. The New American Liberal Man, the weenie-less equivalent of the New Soviet Man, has no real spine. Look at most snivelling college leftists: they'd gladly hold their girlfriend's rapist's assault gear if they thought it would save 'em a beating. But for all that, the American Leftist has been pretty macho when it comes to 1)castrating Free Speech through endless PC speech codes; 2) gelding the Free Market through tireless promotion of big government and high taxes; and 3) gutting America's strength & standing in the World.
The Liberal, then---this counterfeit free-thinker!---is a cancer. He is a threat. He must not be debated. He must not have points ceded his way. He has no points to cede.
Dinesh D'Souza has rightly identified American leftist/liberlism as an Enemy at Home bent on the destruction of truly liberal western values: an enemy that must be destroyed, annihilated, his house burnt and the smoking ruins urinated on, and he must pass off this mortal coil to the weeping and wailing of his women (or same sex partners, considering the sort of thing we're talking about here). Figuratively speaking, of course.
Ann Coulter does that. She does it well. She's a kind of right-wing common sense Boadicea, struggling against the faceless, tireless, brainless tirades of a fumbling, dog stupid Liberal establishment. And I think she enjoys herself, which is why her books, while not life-changing, are still spiky loads of fun to read.
That's why her detractors loathe books like this: Ann Coulter makes the leftists dizzy with rage. The reason they rage!rage! is not because her opinions are subversive, but because she is a clever, brutally talented little artillery master of American scorn. She uses words like a spitting cobra uses venom.
Those who claim Coulter just adds to the incivility of American debate wilfully ignore the larger issue: American politics is necessarily uncivil because they made it that way. When you start using Politics as a truncheon, don't whine when someone shows up with a tac-nuke.

Ann at Her Best!!!!!.......2007-09-25
Look, if you hate the right wing, don't waste your time. Why? Because this book is not geared to convert you to conservatism, introduce you to conservatism gently, or even paint a picture of conservatism you might have overlooked being a leftist. Trust me. As for me, I love the woman, saw her speak, and would get into a fist fight over her defense (done it). Do I agree with everything she says, no. But this is my favorite of all her books, and a must have for any Right Wing American. Why? Buy the book- the information, her logic, her ideas, her theories, and her sarcasm.... unparalleled and funny as hell. True this book was more relevant during the 2004 election; it is still timeless in nature. The civil rights movement had its Malcolm X, the Republican Party has its Ann Couler. Truly a living legend, this is her teachings. Enjoy fellow elephants!
The World According to Ann.......2007-09-15
Ann Coulter is a syndicated columnist. In this book she presents her writings about American liberalism. Her commentary covers the war on terrorism, the 2004 presidential election, the state of the Democratic Party, Max Cleland, Bill Clinton, and Freedom of speech is just some of her topics. I finished this in one day. Ms. Coulter is a brilliant writer that is intelligent, witty, and very sarcastic. Combine that with her logical and candid manner and you can see why this very articulate woman is on the bestseller list. A very easy read. This book is entertaining and thought-provoking. There is no question that it is biased, but what book isn't.
No words.......2007-07-11
There is only one word to discribe her and this book, but I am too polite to say it. She must be living in Neverland if she thinks that somebody could get away with not talking to a liberal. With people leaving the GOP in droves and Bush having a less than 30 persent aproval rating, more people are realizing that the times are changing, women have been able to vote for 100 years almost, and killing people and converting people to Christianity went out with the Crusades
Gotta love that woman.......2007-06-25
As always, Ann is dead on. EXCELLENT read. This should be a school textbook!

How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must).......2007-01-09
I would hate to be on the wrong side of this articulate lady who strips liberals down to their figurative shorts by exposing their lies in a series of newspaper columns published between 2000 and 2003 and read by the author herself. Party-line liberals, be careful what you say (especially in print) because she will not just expose you but paint you neon red! Conservative and powerful!
Important safety aid.......2006-06-08
I must admit, Ann sometimes makes sense about Islam and Immigration. The rest, you know, is unbelievably vicious lies.
So why then am I giving it four stars?
Well, you know, sometimes you are driving on the freeway, and you start to get really sleepy, you just can't stay awake? It's very dangerous. Just pop in this CD. ONE MINUTE! You will not. be. sleepy. But please, DO NOT OVERDOSE! A little too much, you could be in a bad road rage incident.

David Gibbs Delivers.......2007-01-10
An excellent reference to the Pigeons and Doves of the world. The color drawings and maps are unbelievable. I was able to identify a lot of birds after reading this book that I could not earlier. I give it two thumbs up.
great book for the family columbidae.......2006-11-26
I am an avid bird man. Love birds from foreign countries, and Pigeons and Doves are a special affection of mine. This book is detailed and complete. A great asset to my collection of bird books.
any one needing a great reference book on Pigeons and Doves would surely buy this book.
Worth every penny.......2004-05-12
This is an excellent book, giving full details on all the pigeon and doves species of the world. Excellent color plates also make the reader very familiar with the different types. I'd recommend this read to the budding aviculturist, old bird breeders, orinthologists, and even the average bird watcher.
