Here is what Ann Coulter has to say about the Vietnam War (From her book, 

Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism):

"Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost."

"Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."

"In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."

"President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kenedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."

"Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"

"A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."

Hard Truth About Abortion

Note: This is a hard video to watch, both because of its subject matter, but also because of the song that goes along with it. It is a great song, but the audio quality is not very good. I suggest you watch the whole video, but when they come to the song, turn the volume down and just read the lyrics below!

A Malediction:

The judges sat outside the law
And in their pride no evil saw
In setting teeth to Satan's jaw
And feeding him our children.

A curse, a curse, the law it cries
A curse, a curse, on mankind's pride
A curse on him who would deny
God's image in mankind.

When viewed in terms of cost and ease
An unborn child is a disease
A holocaust soon fit to please
Our own convenience.

Torn from out their mother's womb
Denied the sky, denied the tomb
Conceived in lust to their own ruin
A sacrifice to pleasure.

A Curse, a curse their blood cries out
A curse, a curse the heavens shout!
A curse on him who dares to flout
God's image in mankind.

The doctors with their blood-red hands
Who loved their money more than man.
With greed their god they lay their plan
The butchers of mankind.

Oh, rid us of this evil Lord
And turn our hearts by cross or sword
Our nation cannot long afford
To live beneath your anger.

A Curse, a curse upon their heads
O, save them Lord, or slay them dead!
And fill our country with your dread
And turn away your anger.
