In Ann Coulter’s book; Scandal; she claims that “conservatives are the most tolerant (and long-suffering) people in the world".
I’m not joking. She really said this.
It’s on page 204, if you want to look it up.
So, let’s examine that statement. What sort of horrible suffering have Ann Coulter’s people been suffering? What sort of horrible tortures have the liberals forced the tolerant (and long-suffering) right-wingers of America to endure?
Ann Coulter (as per usual) didn’t bother to back up her claim with any sort of evidence, so it falls to people like me to do the research and attempt to locate examples of American right-wingers suffering at the hands of America’s liberals.
This was not easy research to do. The right-wingers in America were never rounded up and forced into decades of slavery like the African Americans. They were also never forced off their land, rounded up and forced onto tiny, inhospitable reservations like the American Indians. There were no obvious signs of America’s right-wing people being forced into decades of quiet suffering, so I had to look for much more subtle signs of suffering and silent misery.
My research begins in 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote. America’s right-wingers tend to be notable misogynists and Ann Coulter herself has said that it is a “personal fantasy” of hers that women will lose the right to vote and finally be silenced. This means that Ann Coulter’s right-wing brethren have now been forced to endure ninety-eight painful years of women being allowed to vote.
My next example of tolerant and long-suffering right-wingers becoming a victim of liberal aggression is in 1941, when liberal president Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802, which prohibited racial discrimination in the national defense industry. It was the first federal action, (although not the last) to promote equal opportunity and prohibit employment discrimination in the United States.
This executive order; signed by a left-wing president means that those tolerant and long-suffering right-wingers in America’s defense industry have been forced to spend the last seventy-seven years treating African-Americans, Persian-Americans, Arab-Americans, American Indians and other dark-skinned Americans as actual human beings, with actual legal rights!
The suffering continues in 1948, when President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981, which expanded on Executive Order 8802 by establishing equality of treatment and opportunity in the military for people of all races, religions, or national origins.
This executive order desegregated the military and has forced white-Americans to serve side-by-side with dark-skinned Americans since 1948. That’s seventy years of racists and white-supremacists silently suffering as they’ve been forced to share barracks, mess halls and the cramped interior of tanks with people of the “wrong” skin color.
Then; in 1954; there was another outrage that the long-suffering right-wingers in America were forced to endure. This was the year that the United States Supreme Court made their famous ruling in Brown vs the Board of Education of Topeka, in which the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against America’s racists and said that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional.
This led to the desegregation of America’s schools, and for the past sixty-four years racists have had to deal with the agonizing trauma of knowing that when they send their little white sons and daughters to school that they will be forced to associate with children with the wrong color of skin.
Sixty-four years! Are you starting to understand what Ann Coulter means by “long-suffering”?
The Supreme Court dealt another blow to the right-wingers of America in 1962 when they made their ruling in the case of Engel v Vitale. In this Supreme Court case, the court ruled that beginning the day at a public school by forcing the school children to pray violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which says in part, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".
Until this ruling came out, school teachers and school administrators in public schools had the power to force little Jewish children, little atheist children, little Hindu children and all the kids in school to publicly recite Christian prayers.
However, because of this ruling, for the past fifty-six years, right-wing Christians in America’s schools have been powerless to force their religious doctrine on Jews, atheists, agnostics, Sikhs and other non-Christians. That’s fifty-six years that they couldn’t shove their religious dogma down the throats of heretics and non-believers. Can you imagine how much suffering that must have caused them?
Not long after that, (in 1964) President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act. This new law (passed despite the vehement objections of Ann Coulter’s people) ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
This infuriated the right-wingers (especially the right-wingers in the South), and they have now been forced to endure FIFTY-FOUR YEARS of concealing their racism and having to treat African-Americans (and other minorities) as if they were REAL PEOPLE (with the same rights as the white man) whenever they were in public!
In 1965, Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, which banned the use of literacy tests and authorized the U.S. attorney general to investigate the use of poll taxes in state and local elections. Racists in Southern States had used sleazy tricks like literacy tests and poll taxes to keep the vast majority of African-Americans from voting in states like Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and Mississippi. Then, in 1965, they were suddenly told that they couldn’t pull stunts like that anymore, and they had to give dark-skinned people the same voting rights as pale-skinned people.
Ann Coulter’s people didn’t want dark-skinned people voting in local, state or federal elections, however, despite their vigorous efforts at obstruction, millions of African-Americans have been defying Ann Coulter’s people and voting in election after election for approximately fifty-three years now.
Then, in 1972, Title IX (as part of the Education Amendments of 1972), was signed into law by Lyndon Baines Johnson. Title IX banned any and all schools receiving Federal financial assistance from excluding females from any of their education programs or activities. This meant that schools across America had to stop discriminating against girls and treat them like actual human beings.
So, for the past forty-six years, right-wingers have been forced to allow girls to participate in baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball and other activities that previously were the exclusive domain of those who had testicles.
Ann Coulter’s people are basically misogynists, so they automatically believe that males are better at everything than females. Why do you think they have a history of paying women less than men for the same work?
However, despite the objections of right-wingers, girls have been told that they can participate in anything boys can participate in in America’s public schools.
So, these are the sorts of things that left-wingers in America have forced right-wingers in America to endure.
Because of the liberals, Ann Coulter’s people have been forced to endure decades of misery as women voted in national elections, dark-skinned people voted in national elections, little white children went to school with little black children and teachers have been unable to force Christian dogma on little Jewish children, little Muslim children and little atheist children.
So, what’s your opinion?
Have liberals been cruel for forcing them to endure all of these things? Is Ann Coulter correct when she says that the right-wingers in America are the most tolerant and long-suffering people in the world?
I’m not joking. She really said this.
