Ann Coulter

Ann Coulter is a strong, opinionated columnist that mostly writes about politics and current events. She loves to write about controversial topics so she can show that her side of the argument is supreme. She is not afraid to speak her mind and often insults people in the process. Her writing style is attacking and very sarcastic, as can be seen in most of her article titles, such as “Crimea River” and “A Man of Sterling Character.” She is often biased and sometimes lacks supporting evidence for her argument. In “Crimea River” Coulter bashes on Democratic presidents and how they have dealt with foreign nations. she explains how Carter’s “most inspired strategic move was to abandon the Shah of Iran, a loyal U.S. ally” which led to the Iran hostage crisis. She also talks about how Kennedy acted like a total moron during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that “The Kennedy Myth Machine has somehow turned JFK’s handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis into a brilliant foreign policy coup.”

Is it okay for Coulter to insult former presidents in this way? Is her argument at all believable? Should more columnists be as fearless as Coulter?

    I don’t think it is okay for Coulter to bash former Presidents this way. Being President of the United States is no walk in the park. When a President makes a crucial decision, they are going to receive negative feedback from people no matter what. No matter how hard they try, they can’t make everybody in the United States happy. She shouldn’t insult presidents this way, when she has no idea what it is like to make a critical decisions that can affect your whole country. I think her argument could be believable to some people who feel the same way about their decisions. Ann Coulter is not afraid to share what she has to say despite the feedback she gets, which makes her columns unique. I think more columnists should be fearless like her.
