The Church of Liberalism: Godless by Ann Coulter?

We Answered:

Liberal comes from the latin word for freedom - 'liber' - thus a liberal believes in freedom. 'Classic liberals' are those who believe in small government and lack of restrictions. These days, in America, that meaning is pretty much defunct and the word has almost become dirty. Liberals as they are defined in modern America stand for big government, and personal freedom to the point of licentiousness (social rather than economic liberalism: pro-choice, gay rights, non-traditional families). In Europe The Netherlands is probably the most liberal country, and has very few government restrictions on sex, drugs, etc.

But liberals have also been responsible for such worthy things as social security, and noted conservative Pat Buchanan called the '60s civil rights movement 'liberalism's finest hour'. This is not to say it has no flaws - I think an excess of liberalism can result in a dangerous abandonment of traditional values - but it is not as awful as people like Coulter have made it out to be. A healthy country will find a balance between both.

What is a good chapter 2 summary of the book, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism ” by Ann Coulter?

We Answered:

In Chapter 2, Coulter starts discussing how liberals adore violent criminals. She states that in the last 50 years, liberals have refused to be tough on crime, and due to their influence, several major legal decisions and domestic policies have been enacted to alleviate harsh punishment of violent criminals. She dissents on several points: “We’re the only modern democracy with the death penalty; Innocent men will be exonerated; The death penalty does not deter; It is applied unfairly; Capital punishment must be suspended until the exact same percentages of blacks and whites are executed; It’s a primitive act of retribution; Life in prison spent thinking about the crime is worse than death; It diminishes us as a society.” Coulter then discusses a number of criminal cases where liberal judges have voted against punishment or voted for early release. She also discusses how the liberals on the Supreme Court succeeded in repealing the death penalty, and how democrats have traditionally favored trying to rehabilitate criminals, which she states has been statistically proven ineffective, instead of them serving long sentences. She concludes the chapter by discussing the drop in crime in New York City , and how Bill Clinton tried to take credit for it, and not give credit to Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
