Sorry, I refuse to accept blame for the generalized deterioration of society, regardless of all the drugs I did. And how this relates to pack behavior by teens as a model for liberal-leaning society escapes me completely. (Now maybe \*that \*is from the drugs…) ---

> [@Sarahfeena](#): > > Oh, please…Ann Coulter? You flatter me. How clumsy of him. . . I myself felt a passing urge to admonish **jali** for being a bit harsh. For all that I find you to be wrong such a large percentage of the time, you’re no Ann Coulter. ---

I think you meant that as a compliment, of sorts, so I am going to go ahead and take it that way! 🙂 ---

Yes, I did, so please do. I can’t understand how you managed to construe **jali** ’s post as one, though. :eek: ---

The idea that I’m anything like Ann Coulter because I happen to hold some conservative views is a laugh, in my opinion. ---

My theory is that Ann Coulter is actually a secret liberal, trying to make conservatives look bad. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/liberal-tolerance-on-parade-at-a-local-middle-school/472547.md?page=13)
