Did Ann Cruelter- er, I mean, Coulter- really say we should "kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity?" (or something to that effect)

How do you pronounce the name 'Pinochet?'

What are all the belts in karate, from highest (black) to lowest (white)? (I don't know the order they all go in).

yes, Ann Coulter did say that.

Sorry, I can't help you with the other two. :(

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war."

1. Yes. Coultergeist really said that. Last Paragraph. (http://www.nationalreview.com/coulter/coulter091301.shtml)

Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Coulter) are some other lovely gems from that bitch, including:

When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."

2. 'Peen-o-shay"

3. Google it.

coulters has probably said that dozens of times

i assume Pê-nô-shê? (the ^standing for long letters)

and karate belts vary with schools. the one i went to was: (color belt then three color stripes from next belt then next belt): white, yellow, blue, red, black, various degrees of black. another as white, blue, purple, red, brown, black, degree of black. or something like that

How do you pronounce the name 'Pinochet?'



As far as I understand, you may pronounce the name with or without the -t in the end. Most of my Chilean friends say "peeno-chette" but some Spanish news reporters on the TV keep saying "peeno-chey". In any way, the "ch" should be a short sound like in "chocolate" rather than "shine".



What are all the belts in karate, from highest (black) to lowest (white)? (I don't know the order they all go in).



This depends om what sort of Karate you mean. Black, brown, blue/purple, green, orange, yellow and white is the probably the most common order, but to make sure, you should specifiy what branch of Karate you are interested in. Sometimes there are several belts of the same colour (you are promoted from green to green) and in some systems a red belt comes into the picture.

For some basic history on the colour system in martial arts, see

http://www.all-karate.com/history_karate_belt_colors.php

Hope that this helps you out.

To paraphrase a good number of my professors on their allegience to the Nation:

"I have no country... I'm a 'citizen of the world!' Socialism has no borders!"

NOW you have no country.. you're a citizen of a mass grave. ;)

Low blow, most definitely a low blow.
I don't believe we should execute all the liberals. However, I think individuals such as John Ashcroft, Michael Moore, and other such assholes on either side should be rounded up, taken to prison, and left in a cell with 50 lifers, all ironically named Shaft.

Except Coulter's definition of traitor is something like "anyone who isn't a Republican." Not someone who travels to a warzone and fights for the enemy.

I'm not arguing for Coulter's definition, whatever it may be. I was responding to her quote here:

"When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors."

If executing actual traitors has the residual effect of putting pressure on potential traitors, then so be it. That's the point, however sarcastically Coulter puts it.

The humor was that I asked for a secular ethical system that would condemn the execution of a traitor. Your response was Jesus, a non-secular figure to say the least.

Treason and revolution are not one and the same, even if revolution can be considered a form of treason. Prosecuting a war and prosecuting traitors are two different animals. Traitors conspire against an established state, while revolutionaries try and establish their own.. two different problems.

Revolutionaries are traitors to the state they revolt against. They're just the conspirators who succeed. Does this mean they're rectified?

Yeah that was her comments concerning 9/11. "I am often asked if I still think we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity . The answer is: Now more than ever!" -Ann Coulter

It sounds good to me!

-With the election a few weeks away, the two main reasons Kerry has settled on for why you should vote for him are: (1) Dick Cheney has a lesbian daughter, and (2) Halliburton! -Ann Coulter

"If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no." -John Kerry citing his undying love fighting for the United Nations, while stating lives lost under the United States flag are unimportant.

Where do you get your skills of making logical connections? They're severely lacking. Or are you just parroting something you saw on tv?
No, he's not "stating lives lost under the United States flag are unimportant"
he's saying it was wrong to send soldiers in to fight an ill-planned battle without the support of more nations on the planet.
