June 6th, 2006 2:41 PM

CNSNews.com has an exclusive interview with Ann Coulter today as her book "Godless" The Church of Liberalism" hits the book stores. She tells Randy Hall that abortion is the "virgin sacrifice" of the liberal "religion" she describes in the book. Coulter goes on to say that one of the main goals of the American public education system is to force small school children to become atheists. Coulter takes on the spectrum of what she considers liberal doctrine, ranging from global warming and stem-cell research to "dry" toilets. Here's a sampler of her lines:

Cybercast News Service: During his May 10 appearance on the "700 Club," Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said: "One of the misconceptions about the Democratic Party is that we're godless and that we don't have any values. The truth is we have an enormous amount in common with the Christian community, and particularly with the evangelical Christian community." How would you respond to his statement?

Ann Coulter: Who knew Howard Dean had a sense of humor?

Cybercast News Service: Do you think U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and U.S. Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) will ever admit they were wrong for claiming in September 2004 that President Bush had a "secret plan" to reinstate the military draft after the presidential election? Or does their military service insulate them from having to apologize?

Ann Coulter: Excellent question! No.

Cybercast News Service: In your book, you state: "If you gave all the money in the United States to the public schools, they would not improve; they would simply cost more." Can you envision any federal attempt to improve education at the local level that would be effective?

Ann Coulter: Yes, abolish the Department of Education and bring RICO suits against the teachers' unions.
