Michael Smith Reviews ¡Adios America!

    On Saturday, September 5, 2015, Michael Smith released a blog post, reviewing ¡Adios America! The review is mostly positive, with only about two criticisms. Here they are:

""What do we owe the Third World?," she asks rhetorically. Plenty. Capital flows from the Third World to the First World, with the poor heavily subsidizing the rich both within nations and between nations."
    The Third World chooses to allow capital to move to the First World. We owe the Third World nothing.



    After explaining how Ann is not racist because her immigration policy would be based on culture, not race, Smith writes:
"Coulter's proposed solution to our immigration woes, however, IS racist. She wants us to imitate Israel [which is a state based on race/ethnicity.] This is OK, because settler colonialism by a master race of chosen people inevitably advances the human race:

"Without the white settlers, what is known as 'America' would still be an unnamed continent full of migratory tribes chasing the rear end of a buffalo every time their stomachs growled."

In short, Jews and Anglos have the capacity to rise and evolve; others do not. Racist? You bet. But this is a very bipartisan racism... which both Democrats and Republicans shout themselves hoarse in support of Israel's ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian people."

Mickey Kaus Explains Ann's 6 Points on Immigration

    On Tuesday, July 28, 2015, Mickey Kaus posted an explanation of why he wants less immigration, and a 6-point list of why Ann opposes immigration.

    Here are some quotes:

    On culture being important:
"If businessmen can make millions babbling about corporate "culture" — If Reddit can have a culture — why can’t we talk about the cultures from which immigrants come?... Thought experiment: What if the entire population of Central America, India, Bangladesh, Russia and Western China –some 1.8 billion people — miraculously moves to the U.S. in a month. Screen them for criminals and terrorists. Don’t change any U.S. laws to accomodate [sic] them. Construct plenty of housing and schools and roads in advance. In two years the country wouldn’t look anything like the country we know now, of course.  Do you think it would it retain the things we now value about America? That it would be a better place? Good. I don’t either. Now we are just haggling over the size and pace of the inflow." [Emphasis original.]

The beginning of point 5:
"5) Diversity sucks! According to Coulter, my idea of a Los Angeles in which Korean immigrants live with Latino immigrants to produce a vibrant synergistic whole is insane. Diversity is "a train wreck." Her big gun in this argument is the inconvenient work of a beloved liberal professor, Robert Putnam:

Contrary to his expectations–and desire –Putnam’s study showed that the greater the ethnic diversity, the less people trusted their neighbors, their local leaers, and even the news. People in diverse communities gave less to charity, voted less, had fewer friends, were more unhappy …It was not, Putnam said, that people in diverse conummnities trusted people of their own ethnicity more, and other races less. They didn’t trust anyone. …[This was copied exactly from Kaus, but he incorrectly quotes Ann. For instance, Ann did not misspell "leaers" and "conummnities."]


"I used to worry that someone who can get on TV would raise the issues Coulter raises... [and] just piss people off and open the door to discrimination. If you wring your hands about Mexicans who don’t acknowledge the Southern border, you’re apt to produce a lot of angry, ethnically self-conscious Mexican-Americans who might decide, hey, now that you mention it, you did steal our land.

But we seem beyond those worries now. Ethnic identity politics has arrived and put down roots ... [S]ome immigrant groups really don’t look at the border the same way we do. A majority (52% ) of Mexicans, in a respected Pew poll, agreed that “Mexicans have a right to be in the U.S.,” while fully 66% thought the “U.S. government has no right to limit immigration.” ... Meanwhile, opponents have to hold their tongues, which makes them angrier." [Emphasis and hyperlink both original.]

Jay Nordlinger Reviews ¡Adios America!

    The National Review Online published a review (by Jay Nordlinger) of ¡Adios America! on Thursday, July 23, 2015, at 4:00am. Here are some quotes:

"The subtitle is "The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole."

From the subtitle, a person might think this book is a crazy rant, and there are crazy-rant touches, for Coulter writes flamboyantly. But this is a serious book making serious points."
"Coulter pleads that she has nothing against Mexico. "Love the food!" But she has concerns (to put it mildly) about lopsided immigration from our southern neighbor."
"To most of us conservatives, it’s plain that a social-welfare state is incompatible with mass immigration. Coulter has penned a formula: "Third World immigration + massive welfare state + political correctness = The End of America." She adds that "we no longer ask anything of immigrants in terms of assimilation. We can’t. That would be ‘racist.’"" [Emphasis original.]
"In one of her closing flourishes, Coulter writes, "Americans love to mock the French for rolling over for Hitler, but at least they had Panzers rolling through Paris. America has chosen to do nothing as our country is taken away from us without a shot fired.""

Dr. Richard Reeb Reviews ¡Adios America!

    Desert Dispatch published Dr. Richard Reeb's review of ¡Adios America! on Wednesday, July 15, 2015, at 12:01am.

    Here are some quotes:

"In [¡Adios America!] there are plenty of facts to support Coulter’s contention that our immigration policy ought to be governed by what is best for our nation and its citizens, rather than the wants and needs of immigrants. Congress possesses complete authority to define citizenship and thereby to determine who is eligible and who is not, but our leaders have been reluctant, to put it mildly, to address the concerns of most Americans who are not bigoted but concerned about our decades-long "transformation.""
"[Our problems] actually started with the Immigration Act of 1965 which, for the first time, permitted members of families to join those already in the country. This was a radical departure from not only previous federal law but the law of virtually every other country on earth to prefer those with a skill or some other tangible contribution."

American Renaissance Writer Hails ¡Adios America! as "A Monument to Common Sense"

    Jared Taylor of American Renaissance released a lengthy review of ¡Adios America! on Tuesday, June 16, 2015. It is called "¡Adios, America!: Coulter’s Call for Immigration Sanity."

    Jimmy LaSalvia brought it to Ann's attention:


    Ann replied with:




    Here are some quotes from Taylor's review:

"The news is full of immigration stories disguised as worry about Americans: poor children, fat children, teen pregnancy, dropouts, income inequality, Medicare fraud, identity theft, child rape, sex trafficking, prison overcrowding, "homegrown" terrorism, drug-resistant TB, etc. Miss Coulter points out that immigrants bring us these things, but to point that out is "racist.""
"Miss Coulter begins by pointing out that the United States is not an idea, but an actual country with a founding stock. She quotes Richard Brookhiser: "The WASP character is the American character . . . . Without the WASP it would be another country altogether." She also notes that "two centuries after the first Europeans settled America, the white population was 80 percent British and 98 percent Protestant." She continues:

The British Empire spread Anglo-Saxon culture around the globe–Protestant morals, individualism, the rule of law. Most British colonies rejected those values. Only the ones populated by actual British people–America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand–managed to hold on to them and, as a result, prospered."
"Back when newcomers were white we were allowed to ask them adopt our ways, but no longer. Miss Coulter reminds us of Dong Lu Chen, who beat his cheating wife to death with a claw hammer. He got off with probation because a judge was made to understand how much the Chinese hate being cuckolded. The head of the Asian-American Defense and Education Fund–a woman–said that a prison term would be wrong because it would "promote the idea that when people come to America they have to give up their way of doing things. That is an idea we cannot support.""
"...Miss Coulter has noticed that men who rape their 11-year-old nieces or 8-year-old stepdaughters are almost always Hispanic. They grew up with different ideas: The age of consent in Mexico is 12 in all but one Mexican state and 14 in the other. Miss Coulter also notes that since 1990 there have been 53 verified cases of girls age 10 and under giving birth in Latin America–and probably plenty more in the wilds of Bolivia and Honduras. By contrast, there have been only eight such cases in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all of Western Europe combined. In seven of those cases, the father was an immigrant."
"It could save a lot of soul-searching about ‘our’ violent culture if journalists didn’t hide the fact that gang rapes are generally committed by people who are not from our culture."
"Miss Coulter reminds us how much Robert Putnam of Harvard squirmed when his data showed that diversity kills community trust. In his study of various cities, San Francisco came in dead last in social capital. "This is one problem you can’t blame on blacks," writes Miss Coulter; "that city is 42 percent white, 33 percent Asian, 15 percent Hispanic, 6 percent black . . . .""
"There is a simple GOP route to victory:

By unapologetically opposing the transformation of America into a Third World country, the GOP would sweep the white vote–once white people recovered from the shock of any candidate asking for their vote. Why should Republicans be ashamed of getting white votes? How about the party work on getting more of them? . . . Any party incapable of winning the vote of white men ought to hang its head in shame. Democrats denounce and abuse white people, and Republicans act embarrassed about having whites vote for them."

Mallory Millett Gives Great Review of Ann's Interview with Jorge Ramos

    American Thinker published Mallory Millett's piece on Monday, June 8, 2015. It is a review of Ann's May 26, 2015, interview with Jorge Ramos. It is long, yet details as concise as possible the 31+ minute interview while giving insight of reactions and adding additional facts.

    In the following quotes, "she" refers to Ann.

    Here are some quotes of Millett:

    On what the audience thought at the beginning of the interview:
"She was wrong because she was too white.  An honest ear and open heart would not be coming from Ramos’ audience to her.  No mercy for white people!  Plug your ears and sing, "la, la, la, la, la, la, la" because anyone that white must be bad and should never be heard.  She's too white not to be a racist; too white to deserve belief."

"One point she made clear is that if an immigrant flees a Third World dump, the last thing he wants is to watch his country of sanctuary become the place he escaped."
"Ramos introduced Ann as someone "who doesn't want immigration reform"... (Newspeak for "This is a bad person")

Wrong.

Ann most definitely demands immigration reform -- total reform: shut down the agency; a triple fence on the border; no one coming in, even legally, for a decade; complete overhaul of the laws.  Now, that would be honest-to-gosh real reform."
""You're [Ramos] the one discriminating against the poor Bangladeshis who would love to come here but they cannot walk across the border.  Why do you discriminate against them?  It is not humanitarian. It is not diversity.  It's just changing our culture into Mexico without checking with the American people."

We are a people who rue past slavery so why would we import a layer of second-class workers? No, as usual, the Democrats, feigning "compassion," persist in creating a proto-slavery with high numbers of second-class virtual slaves undercutting citizen workers who dare to ask an honorable wage."
"I used to live in Asia and without a trace of exaggeration can tell you that every single person, from 6 to 65, whom I met... every single one was brimming with visions of America somewhere in their near or distant futures.  I was very young and charmed and happy so many people admired us.  Except that after a few years charm had turned to alarm!

By the time I returned to the States it was full-blown panic.  I wanted to run up and down streets, boulevards and avenues screaming, Paul Revere style,  "Everyone in the world is coming... batten down the hatches... they're all on their way!!"  Letting this happen is an unsustainable plan and seriously lacking in wisdom."
"Ann's last remark to Jorge Ramos was, "You're a cultural imperialist!!""

Slander: Ben Norton of CounterPunch Calls Ann Racist and Fascist

    CounterPunch published Ben Norton's piece as the "Weekend Edition June 5-7, 2015."

    Here are some of Norton's claims and why they make no sense:

"Ann Coulter [is] now saying all immigrants are bad. This is a fundamental tenet of fascist ideology. The US Right is moving toward fascism... literal fascism."
    Norton goes on with a quote from the Nazis saying immigrants are not allowed in Germany. Well, 1: Ann said we could have immigrants after 10 years, and 2: The Nazis wanted people to focus on collectivism (like Democrats), not individualism (like Republicans). After all, the Nazis are Socialists (like Bernie Sanders).

"The flippant racist title exactly conveys what it is about: the supposed "destruction" of the US by scary brown immigrants. The all-white cover of the book, accompanied by her "Aryan" visage, punctuated by a nails-on-the-chalkboard terrifying upside-down exclamation point (stop being so "backward"!), is the visual semiotic equivalent of her message."
    3: A Spanish title is racist? 4: All white book cover? It includes red and blue lettering, ergo: red, white, and blue. 5: Terrifying upside-down exclamation point? ¿What's your point?

"Ann Coulter is the US equivalent of France’s Marine Le Pen, the leader of a growing neo-fascist movement (founded by her father Jean-Marie Le Pen, a Holocaust denier) that got a shocking 25% of the vote in France’s March 2015 elections."
    6: Le Pen said (English version) herself that Obama is farther to the right than she is. 7: Obama did not recognize the Armenian genocide and would probably deny the Holocaust if it happened today, especially given the light shed on what is happening in the Middle East right now, with the Yazidi genocide (among other genocides) that Obama is not stopping.

"The irony in all of this, of course, is that the very people espousing these racist views and claiming all immigrants are bad are themselves white immigrants—descendants of settler colonialists who massacred and ethnically cleansed the indigenous population in what we today call the Americas."
    8: Immigrant does not equal descendant of a settler. 9: Two wrongs make a right? You are saying white immigrants are colonialist murderers, but modern immigrants making American whites a minority are just loving immigrants? Note: More Native Americans killed Native Americans than whites killed Native Americans, and you're saying it's only wrong when whites do it.
