Republican Arrogance

From what I could comprehend out of Ann Coulter’s editorial “AmericaNears El Tipping Pointo,” she argues that the ‘whites’ are losing their control over government because the candidates they support are not winning election due to the large amount of Hispanic immigrants that mainly vote democratic. I found her editorial to be nothing more than a discriminating rant with very little information to support her claims.

In the posting she insinuates that because the majority of the Hispanic population is unskilled and uneducated, they are incapable of making an informed decision when picking their candidates.  In her statement, “…if nothing is done to reverse the deluge of unskilled immigrants pouring into the country…” the republic party will continue to lose elections.

She also implies that a large portion of the Hispanic population vote democrat because many of them are dependent on welfare, food stamps, and other government funded programs that the democratic party supports. She states, “That’s a lot of government dependents coming down the pike. No amount of ‘reaching out’ to the Hispanic community, effective ‘message’ or Reagan’s ‘optimism’ is going to turn Mexico’s underclass into Republicans.” This gives the impression that Hispanics in the United States are a lost cause.

The majority of the content in her commentary was full of blatant statements and unsupported statistics that make it appear she is stretching the truth. The tone of her writing gives an impression she feels superior over minorities in general. To me this shows her close mindedness and that she is basing her opinions on limited knowledge and experience.

 I found her arrogance to be so irritating it was difficult to focus on the content of the article. All of this made it even harder to find her work credible and respect her point of view. Her writing style and the content of her work is crude and very one sided, unwilling to be open to any alternative point of view on the topic and lacking any contrasting statement to compare to her perspective.  The article seems to be a lot of trying to find where to lay the blame for the Republican Party’s loss of the presidential election rather than really exploring the issues within the party.
