Could Anne Coulter be an Aspie?

We today have disconnected anarchists committing acts of vandalism, whereas with Obama, Republicans ranging from ground level loons to elected politicians at the city, state, and federal level denying that the President was ever born in America (a thing that was an absolute lie), and should be impeached.
As for every assassinated President having been killed by leftists - John Wilkes Boothe and his co-conspirators were all pro-slavery, racist radicals. Hardly seems to the left to me.
There are still many questions surrounding Oswald that we may never know. Even the depth of his commitment to Marxism is open to debate. The investigation conducted by the New Orleans District Attorney, Jim Garrison, as well as the House Committee On Assassinations had come to conclusions very different from those come to by the Warren Commission. Or in other words, Oswald may have been involved with others, who then left him holding the bag. The people who were believed by some to have been running Oswald have been described as a combination of criminal elements, and fanatical, right wing Anti Communists.

Liberals are some of the most intolerant people I have ever come across. They may not have used to be that way, but modern progressive liberals are the most closed minded people I have ever met. And I stand by that.

Leftists are Democrats. Because they sit on the left side of Congress.That is where the term derives. JWB was not a liberal, but he was a leftist. Same deal. I acutally consider Lincoln's assasination a war crime, since fighting was still going during the time he was shot. Futhermore, Lincoln himself was not an abolitionist. That is a liberal lie. He wanted to get rid of the blacks in America and ship them back to Africa. That was his main course of action, had he not been shot. Lee Harvey Oswald was definitely a communist. He had been over in Russia and married a Russian. He didn't want JFK to interfere with communist Russia and he was upset about the Bay of Pigs.

If Boothe was a leftist, then so were Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis.
No Lincoln had not been an abolitionist - originally. But he was definitely a free soiler, in that he wanted to surround the slave states with free states to put an economic stranglehold on plantation owners, so they wouldn't be able to move further west once the cotton depleted the soil of all nutrients, thereby causing slavery to slowly die. But Lincoln changed during the war, finally realizing at the end of his life that blacks had every right to stay in America as Americans.
Yes, Oswald defected to Russia, where he married his wife, Marina. It's also true, at the very same time, other marines had defected to the Soviet Union who claimed to be communists but were actually undercover agents. I'm not saying Oswald was one of these, but it's more than a little suspicious that he was able to return to America after a few years, with his wife, a thing almost unheard of during the Cold War - - especially since Oswald had renounced his American citizenship. If Oswald had been an agent at one time, I'm not saying he was still one by November 11, 1963, but it does mean he wasn't what he publically had been painted to be. Then there were his associations he maintained after returning to America, especially with right wing fanatics in the Anti-Castro underground in New Orleans with ties to both the CIA and organized crime that Oswald had been discovered to have had, which were rather contradictory for a communist to have. Oswald is an enigma. Most of the conspiracy theorists probably have it wrong, but I also think the Warren Commision also got it wrong.

And hardcore conservatives who call liberals "liberals", "commies", "moonbats", and "queers" aren't intolerant? Both sides have their extremes that sicken me but hardcore conservatives often ignore their own.

Lee was a solider. He was defending his native soil from Federal invaders. Lincoln was a tyrant who violated the Constitution, but i don't have time to go into that now. What is true is Oswald was a communist. Most people are taught that he was some sort of right wing extremist. Not the case.

Are you defending Booth now?

He had similar things to say about Abe before he shot him...

Lee was a traitor who betrayed his country. Lincoln was our greatest President who honored his oath to defend America against enemies both foreign and domestic.
Oswald was an enigma. Yes, he was a communist - at least for a while. If he was a ever an agent, he wouldn't have been the first to have fallen for his own cover. I'm of the opinion that he was a rebel looking for a cause, and God help him, he found it.

How could Lee be a traitor if he was defending his home state? No, he wasn't a traitor. Don't get me started on "Honest Abe". Honest is one thing he was not. If you ever bother to read real history, let me know.

No, Booth was an idiot. Lincoln would have been easier on reconstruction, and perhaps there would be a way to work out the racial divide . He wanted to take actions similar to Thomas Jefferson in establishing the Negroes back to their homeland in Africa. That being said, I still consider what Booth did a war crime, because there was still fighting going on at the time.

Lee's country was the United States of America, not Virginia. Ergo, he betrayed his country.
As for reading real history - I have a BA in history, and so I have read more than a little history, though not any of that Neo-Confederate revisionist fake history.
No, Lincoln was no more honest than most politicians. But at least he was far more competent than his counterpart, Jefferson Davis. In fact, some historians have come to the conclusion that, had the United States, and the Confederacy exchanged chief executives, the war might have had a very different outcome.
Even if you don't believe that the war was about slavery, the fact remains, slavery ended because of a Union victory, hence the right side won.

But Anne Coulter she's just a poor misunderstood victim....who's never expressed any form of intolerance ever.

Actually, labels of left and right date to the era of French Revolution. Monarchists and reactionaries sat on the right, republicans and those who supported secularization and egalitarianism sat on the left. Since then both terms have lost much of their meaning, but right still generally means traditionalist and nationalist, left generally means egalitarian (with arguments over how exactly to define egalitarianism) and internationalist.

They've got nothing to do with seating arrangements in US Congress.

Tangent: Fascists and other authoritarian reactionaries are on the right because they're nationalists and embrace traditionalism, even if their understanding of 'traditionalism' is warped by their utopian interpretations and their radical implementation. That's also one of the main reasons why it's incorrect to refer to many on the far-right as fascists. If the alt-right is the far-right after reading Rules For Radicals and co-opting ideas for building a movement from it, fascists are nationalists who've read Lenin and co-opted his ideas for building a movement, while rejecting his ideology.

Both sides acted immorally. There was no "right" side. Lee defended his people , his homeland. He wasn't a traitor at all. It was a War Between States.

This is true of every war in history.



... and now you just went too far.

The people of the Union were better than the Confederates. The people of the Union weren't angels, but they were against slavery. The Confederates were for slavery. It is true that some of the Union folks were racist by modern standards, but this doesn't make the two sides equal.

While we're at it, we might as well claim that every war in history had no right side because both sides were doing bad things.

"Americans dropped a nuke. Therefore, Hirohito wasn't a bad guy."
"The allies committed war crimes in Dresden. Therefore, Hitler wasn't a bad guy."
"America has a long and ugly history of messing up the Middle East. Therefore, Osama Bin Laden wasn't a bad guy."
"Jesus told his followers to abandon their non-Christian family members. Therefore, the Romans weren't bad guys."



The Confederacy was never recognized as a legit state by anyone aside outside the Confederacy itself.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of countries that recognize the State of Palestine.

If you think that the Confederacy was a legit country, then you also need to acknowledge that Palestine is a legit country, lest you by guilty of hypocrisy.
