Ann Coulter, Daddy's Girl
What kind of monster would spawn the likes of the dreaded Ann Coulter? Her beloved father John Vincent Coulter passed recently, and Miss Ann gives him one of the more touching tributes I've ever seen. This was quite an illuminating and unusually personal glimpse into her dark and twisted soul.
She's SUCH a daddy's girl. You can see how she got like she is coming from this guy. Daddy apparently spent some years in his youth as a red-huntin' FBI agent. Some would object to such things, and there were certainly excesses - but I for one am glad that we've had such as John Vincent Coulter checking backgrounds on people working at nuclear plants, for starters.
Most interesting to me was her brief accounting of Daddy's brave service as a strikebreaker.
In the early 1980s, as vice president and labor lawyer for Phelps Dodge copper company, Father broke a strike against the company, which culminated in the largest union decertification ever -- at that time and perhaps still. President Reagan had broken the air traffic controllers' strike in 1981. But unions recognized that it was the breaking of the Phelps Dodge strike a few years later that landed the greater blow, as described in the book "Copper Crucible."
There was massive violence by the strikers, including guns being fired into the homes of the mine employees who returned to work. Every day, Father walked with the strikebreakers through the picket line, (in my mind) brushing egg off his suit lapel.
By 1986 it was over; the mineworkers voted against the union and Phelps Dodge was saved. For any liberals still reading, this is what's known as a "happy ending."
You can practically see her chest puffing up with pride, as well it might.
But those couple of resume highlights are just the framework to explain his personality. This may be the best thing Ann Coulter ever wrote. I challenge you to read this tribute and maintain your hateful attitude to her. God bless Miss Ann and John Vincent Coulter.
