Its hard not to love Ann Coulter, when she’s on her rapier wit is thing to behold…
It cannot be said often enough that the chief of staff of the United States Army, Gen. George Casey, responded to a massacre of 13 Americans in which the suspect is a Muslim by saying: “Our diversity … is a strength.”
As long as the general has brought it up: Never in recorded history has diversity been anything but a problem. Look at Ireland with its Protestant and Catholic populations, Canada with its French and English populations, Israel with its Jewish and Palestinian populations.
Or consider the warring factions in India, Sri Lanka, China, Iraq, Czechoslovakia (until it happily split up), the Balkans and Chechnya. Also look at the festering hotbeds of tribal warfare — I mean the beautiful mosaics — in Third World hellholes like Afghanistan, Rwanda and South Central, L.A.
“Diversity” is a difficulty to be overcome, not an advantage to be sought. True, America does a better job than most at accommodating a diverse population. We also do a better job at curing cancer and containing pollution. But no one goes around mindlessly exclaiming: “Cancer is a strength!” “Pollution is our greatest asset!”
In a word…Sweet!
And just cuz’ I like ya: Diversity is population replacement. Diversity is race replacement.

You’ve got to admit they’ve played it beautifully. Look at all that a racialist has to go through before he can get people to think straight about race (i.e. to see it his way). Used to be you just had to argue that integration was a bad idea, or that immigration was a bad idea, or that race-mixing was a bad idea. But then they rebranded every reason you used to offer for why it was a bad idea into a good idea — diversity. In typical rightwing totally-misread-the-severity-of-circumstances fashion, it was thought that this was only something people (loonies) “said,” not anything anyone actually believed. But to the bastards’ credit they’ve pushed it all the way to the very top. Happily, however, they’ve made it easier to send the whole superstructure tumbling by pointing out that diversity, as I like to put it, “despite the wholly understandable reasons well-meaning people might have had to believe otherwise,” is manifestly not a strength and can’t be imagined into becoming one; and if the country is being transformed in countless ways detrimental to its health on the basis that diversity is a strength, the way to restore the country to health is to do the opposite, to “reverse diversity.” (Which makes for a neat little slogan, too.)
‘Reverse diversity?’ it has a ring to it!
“Reversity is strength!”
And dammit, I meant to say send the whole superstructure toppling, not tumbling. Same difference but I’m a stickler for nuance.
;P
indeed!
