by Ann Coulter
First published 2004
Ann Coulter presents her strategy guide for conservatives engaging in political warfare. She argues that Republicans must abandon defensive postures and embrace aggressive tactics when confronting Democrats. Her core principles include refusing to apologize, deliberately provoking outrage, and withholding courtesy from political opponents. Coulter targets both liberal adversaries and what she calls weak conservatives who seek approval from the left. She criticizes mainstream journalists and talk show hosts for misrepresenting her positions while offering no apologies in return. The book compiles her syndicated columns from ten years, including pieces that editors previously rejected. Coulter includes practical advice mixed with pointed observations about liberal behavior, such as her claim that the most effective liberal conversion happens when they leave home, find employment, and begin paying taxes. She delivers sustained criticism of Bill Clinton alongside broader attacks on Democratic policies and personalities. The collection reveals Coulter's uncompromising approach to political discourse and her belief that conservatives must match liberal aggression with equal force.
