I've never cared for Coulter - I dislike people who use never-ending sarcasm as "razor sharp wit and incisive commentary," but I just had to comment on this statement of hers. Replace Islam with Christianity in the sentence above, and you've got exactly what fundamentalist Muslims want to do to the Christian world. But because it's Christians wanting to do it to Muslims, that's all right? That's civilized? [Don't get me wrong, Islam is a lot worse than Christianity, and I feel fortunate to live in a secular country with a Christian history, but still....)
The only hope for peace in the world is for everyone to be converted to atheism. After 4,000 years of bloodshed over who is the "one true God" (in particular in that holiest of cities of all the world, Jeruselum, it would seem obvious that that is the only recourse.)

Description
"Historically, the best way to convert liberals is to have them move out of their parent's home, get a job, and start paying taxes. But if this doesn't work, you night have to actually argue with a liberal."
Welcome to the world of Anne Coulter. With her monumental best sellers 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 Tslk 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 hand 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 dont' love them. My 'tough love' approach is like the Democrat's '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 eal, uncensored Ann COulder. 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.
