If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd Be Republicans

Written by Ann Coulter

Narrated by Ann Coulter

“Uttering lines that send liberals into paroxysms of rage, otherwise known as ‘citing facts,’ is the spice of life. When I see the hot spittle flying from their mouths and the veins bulging and pulsing above their eyes, well, that’s when I feel truly alive.”

So begins If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans, Ann Coulter’s funniest, most devastating, and, yes, most outrageous book to date.

Coulter has become the brightest star in the conservative firmament thanks to her razor-sharp reasoning and biting wit. Of course, practically any time she opens her mouth, liberal elites denounce Ann, insisting that “She’s gone too far!” and hopefully predicting that this time it will bring a crashing end to her career.

Now you can read all the quotes that have so outraged her enemies and so delighted her legions of fans. More than just the definitive collection of Coulterisms, If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans includes dozens of brand-new commentaries written by Coulter and hundreds of never-before-published quotations. This is Ann at her best, covering every topic from A to Z. Here you’ll read Coulter’s take on:

• Her politics: “As far as I’m concerned, I’m a middle-of-the-road moderate and the rest of you are crazy.”
• Hillary Clinton: “Hillary wants to be the first woman president, which would also make her the first woman in a Clinton administration to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office instead of under it.”
• The environment: “God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’”
• Religion: “It’s become increasingly difficult to distinguish the pronouncements of the Episcopal Church from the latest Madonna video.”
• Global warming: “The temperature of the planet has increased about one degree Fahrenheit in the last century. So imagine a summer afternoon when it’s 63 degrees and the next thing you know it’s . . . 64 degrees. Ahhhh!!!! Run for your lives, everybody! Women and children first!”
• Gun control: “Mass murderers apparently can’t read, since they are constantly shooting up ‘gun-free zones.’”
• Bill Clinton: “Bill Clinton’s library is the first one to ever feature an Adults Only section.”
• Illegal aliens: “I am the illegal alien of commentary. I will do the jokes that no one else will do.”

If Democrats Had Any Brains, They’d Be Republicans is a must-have for anyone who loves (or loves to hate) Ann Coulter.

Why on earth does this woman even bother to write? What a squander of valuable print.

I dare you to read this one!
This is one of those books you could nearly read in an afternoon. Ann takes you through some of her best work in a topical fashion. She is one of the best at quick-witted one liners that make the left (and sometimes the right) squirm but you will more often than not agree with her sentiment.
There is a lack of substance in this book however since it goes through her best work rather than take on an issue with renewed vigilance but I can wait for the next book (or interview) to see her do that.
I dare you to read this one! :D

I felt a little cheated that so much of this content has been published in Ann's earlier books and articles. It was all familiar to me and not a lot struck me as new. Still, it's a good read and the content is worth re-reading.

Very much a collection of quotes from the newspapers, columns, etc on a variety of issues. While humorous at times, I do wish she had provided her own ideas of what a practical solution would've been instead of what the Democrats were coming up with. I can see where some of her comments could be taken out of context, but most of the time, she was spot-on in her assessments.

Eh. I go through phases on whether I like Ann Coulter ot not. Sometimes she's fuunny and makes a good point, other times she's said something unhelpful and I disagree. More often than not it is the former. Perhaps I like her just because she pisses off the people who piss me off. I do wish though she'd write one absolutely serious and sober book on conservatism or foreign policy or something without one snide joke at all, just to mess with people's heads. I mean, she ain't dumb, she is a lawyer.

First, this is the first book I have ever read of Coulter's, though I've read many of her columns and seen her on the boob tube. Is she offensive? Yes. But that's her schtick. Does she make sense? I think so. This book is merely a collection of quotes from interviews, TV appearances, columns, books, etc., all organized by theme, taxes, terrorism, etc. The book is fun, I read it pretty quickly, but, then again, I am fairly conservative. Does she use hyperbole? Yes. Does she believe 100% of what she says? I don't think so, perhaps 95%. She does point out, and eviscerate, liberal/socialist/Democrat weaknesses - then she will proceed to beat them as if they were the proverbial dead horse. The latter is perhaps where she goes too far, or needlessly calling people names. But, while she's calling someone a name, she is pointing out their faults in the next breath. That part is often lost - except by those who like her and perhaps agree with her anyway. Thus, in the end, she will rarely convince anyone who doesn't agree with her, but she is fun to listen to if you're in the proverbial choir. Alas, I'd like to give this book maybe a 3.95, but 4 is good enough.
