¡Adios America!: #1 Conservative Book of 2015

    Voters on the Conservative Book Club website chose ¡Adios America! as the best political book of 2015 with a whopping 62% of the vote.


    It's a little strange, though, that the Conservative Book Club ranked ¡Adios America! as #2, and Clinton Cash as #1. Voters, on the other hand, voted Clinton Cash as #6 with only 3% of the vote. That is 21 to 1 in favor of ¡Adios America!

    The decision by the Conservative Book Club was supposedly "based on sales data, wider impact, and editorial discretion."

    The poll was put on by Bradley Matthews and the article was written by Matthews. Why did Matthews specifically ignore the will of the people?


(There are not timestamps on the pages, so maybe the poll was put up after Matthews ranked the books.)

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."

Youtuber Explains That Someone Published a Fake Copy of ¡Adios America!

    Laura Freed* published a video and blog post on Saturday, July 25, 2015, explaining how someone put a fake copy of ¡Adios America! on Amazon. That is not itself very surprising, but Freed believes that it was an inside job. The 8+ minute video is below the quote from Freed's blog post.
"Today I noticed a fake book being sold as Ann Coulter’s "Adios America" – Amazon has very very strict guidelines and any self-published author on Amazon will tell you- it couldn’t have happened without some help from the inside."



    If you do not have time to watch the 8+ minutes, here is what Freed talked about:

Minute 0: Freed saw the fake book while browsing Amazon.
Minutes 1-2: Amazon reviews books before publishing them to make sure they are not fakes, but Amazon missed this one.
Minute 3: Someone named Ann Coulter left a 1-star review on the fake book, saying it was not hers. Freed's anti-liberal reviews were erased by Amazon.
Minutes 4-5: Amazon Vine began taxing users, causing the liberals to freak out.
Minute 5: It is probably an inside job, not the whole company.
Minute 6: [Raw video begins, showing computer screen and website.]
Minutes 6-7: Sometimes beginning authors with identical names to celebrities specifically say that they are not associated with their famous counterpart, but this book does not.
Minute 8: Do not buy the fake book!


*Is "Freed" Laura's last name?

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."

The SPLC's Hatewatch Blog Says Ann Cited Racists

   Published on Tuesday, June 30, 2015, at 12:33pm, the SPLC released "...a rundown of the cast of extremist characters Coulter cites[.]" Not only does the SPLC not explain what is wrong with citing (who they call) "racists," the SPLC themselves cite those exact same people. If the SPLC was implying that Ann is a racist, then the SPLC (based on that logic) is racist too.

    James Fulford of VDARE released a piece (on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, at 11:43pm) on why the SPLC's claims are not substantiated.

Immigration Lawyer Goes to See Ann Speak

    The Indiana Gazette published a piece by Christine Flowers on Sunday, June 28, 2015 at 1:20am. Flowers claims to have seen Ann speak at the Colonial Theater in the suburb of Phoenixville (Pennsylvania implied). Flowers' article is entitled: "Commentary: Liberal women cannot put up with criticism." It is not really about Ann. It's more about Republican women being able to laugh at self-deprecating jokes that liberal women would be offended by.

    Here are some quotes of Flowers:


    On speaking to Ann:
"...I said "I’m probably the only immigration lawyer in America who likes you." And God bless her, [Ann] laughed heartily and said she just wanted to make my job easier (I’m still trying to figure that one out)."


    On liberal women's ultra-PC sensitivity that conservative women lack:
"...[Y]ou cannot tell a liberal woman to shut up without her filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Ann Coulter would just keep talking."
    (It is unclear if Flowers intended this as an insult.)

Widespread Backlash to Ann's Comments on Kennedy

    Ann visited Kennedy recently and said that Nikki Haley is an immigrant.

    Since Haley was born in America, Ann later clarified with a tweet:


    Greta Van Susteren said on Wednesday, June 24, 2015, at 5:36pm, that Ann's comments on Nikki Haley were

"...wrong, reckless and nasty."
    Please explain the "nasty" part, Susteren. Thinking someone doesn't know history? Thinking someone is an immigrant? Neither fits the "nasty" bill.



    Politifact rated Ann's claim as "Pants on Fire," but refuses to consider Ann's explanation.



    Aaron Goldstein said:
"Ann Coulter should own up to her mistake and apologize to Haley... It would just be the decent thing to do..."
    1. Say someone is an immigrant. 2. Take a "rudeness test." 3. See results that say, "Zero rudeness."



    Adam B. Lerner reports that:
"The head of a top Indian-American advocacy group on Wednesday condemned Ann Coulter’s comments that South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley doesn’t understand America because she’s “an immigrant” with roots in India...

He said that the comments are offensive for "presuming that immigrants don’t understand American history.""
    Liberals babble on and on about how great the public school system is, so shouldn't Americans know more about American history than people who immigrated here one year ago?



    Soopermexican (most likely) joked:
"Ann Coulter just about invalidated all her arguments and her entire existence when she... said just about the stupidest thing you could say about Nikki Haley...

WOW. What’s the worse possibility – that Ann Coulter called Nikki Haley an immigrant when she was born in South Carolina by accident, or that she did it on purpose to get attention?"
    Nothing to say here.



    The Wikipedia article entitled "Immigrant generations" begins with:

"The term first-generation can refer to either people who were born in one country and relocated to another, or to their children born in the country they have relocated to. The term second-generation refers to children of first-generation immigrants, and thus exhibits the same ambiguity." [Emphasis added.]
    There is no consensus on what immigrant, whether first or second generation, means, so no one can say Ann was wrong.

    Don't forget that there is such popularity in the phrase "second-generation immigrant" that it has its own Wikipedia article. Here's a quote from the second paragraph:
"Second generation immigrants are U.S. citizens by birth."
     So wait. Even Americans who did not immigrate can still be considered immigrants.

    That settles it.

    Additionally, liberals say immigrants are good for the economy, are hard-working, and generally all-around good. Why are they so offended when someone is called an immigrant? It's like they think being an immigrant is a disease or something.

    According to liberals we are all immigrants and we are a nation of immigrants, but Nikki Haley isn't an immigrant.


UPDATE: About seven months later, Haley gave a response to Obama's SOTU address. Ann tweeted:

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."

Latin Times Writer Reports Ann's Visit to the Metropolitan Republican Club , NY

    Cedar Attanasio reports for the Latin Times Ann's visit to the Metropolitan Republican Club.
The article was published on Wednesday, June 10, 2015, at 11:19am EDT.

    Here is a quote:

"Still, she stressed that she’s not against any racial group of Americans, just immigrants. Then she cites a statistic like this "In Denmark, actual Danes come in 10th in the nationality most likely to be in prison."... "Tenth! Why are you doing this to yourself? It’s as if a country decided ‘oh we’re too pure and white-bread; everybody tie off a vein and let’s give ourselves a shot of Hep-C.""
    Attanasio thinks Ann is saying that she's not racist, but then states something racist. This isn't true. Anyone can see that if a native group of a country has virtually no crime, they shouldn't bring in people from countries with higher crime.

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.

Matthew Boyle Writes a Piece on ¡Adios America!

    On Wednesday, June 3, 2015, Matthew Boyle wrote a piece entitled "Adios, Marco: Ann Coulter's New Book Shreds Rubio Credibility."
