Subpontibian: The Church of Ann Coulter
NewsMax has a review of Ann Coulter’s new tome, Godless: the Church of Liberalism.
I think we can now dispense with any silly ideas about Coulter being anything other than a troll who’s made a successful career by making the most outrageous statements imaginable to offend as many people as possible. What surprises me is how few people are willing to call her on it. Surely she can’t possibly believe this, can she?
(Warning: Turn off your irony-meters before proceeding. Management is not responsible for any damage done by exploding irony-meter shrapnel.)
“It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total world view, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe,” she writes.
“Liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as a `religion.'”
“The Democrats will sell out blacks, blue-collar workers, Catholics, Hispanics and the elderly. But they will never cross NARAL [The National Abortion Rights Action League]. The most important thing isn’t the little guy, the poor, the voiceless, civil rights, or the ‘other America.’ The most important value to liberals is destroying human life.”
And the part that she got from Bill Dembski, which should tell you something about the quality of her scholarship:
Coulter devotes the last 80 pages to her full-scale attack on the theory of evolution and the utter dishonesty of what she calls the “Darwiniacs” and their refusal to face the fact that evolution is a patent absurdity, according to Coulter, credible only to those who will find any reason to deny the existence of God.
“The fundamental difference between our religion and theirs is that theirs always tells them what they want to hear,” Coulter declares.
“Darwinism never disappoints the liberals. They never say `Well, I’d like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight, but that would violate Darwinism.’ They can’t even say `I’d like to have cheap meaningless sex tonight with a goat, but that would violate Darwinism.’ If you have an instinct to do it, it must be evolved adaptation. Liberals subscribe to Darwinism not because it’s science, which they hate, but out of some wishful thinking. Darwinism lets them off the hook morally.”
With Pontius Pilate, the Darwiniacs ask “what is truth?” Their answer: Whatever they want it to be.
She’s right about NARAL. I’ve never known a liberal to compromise on the abortion issue and try to find a reasonable balance between the rights of the mother and the rights of the baby. Since the vast majority of abortions are not done to save the life of the mother, some sort of compromise should be possible.
Her comments about Darwinism are truly ridiculous, though. Evolution is a scientific theory, not a religious dogma. She might as well be arguing over whether or not gravity exists!
Do you have any reliable figures for this? I think the CDC has collected a lot of abortion-related data, but I haven’t seen it.
Check a search engine and look up “reasons for abortion.” It took me about 3 seconds to find a statistic that 1% of abortions are done to save the life of the mother. Further investigation will undoubtedly show some discrepancies in the figures but the general consensus seems to be that about 98% of abortions are done for non-medical reasons.
I’m not suggesting that these women do not have genuine problems. They certainly do, but the problems are of a non-medical nature and other ways of dealing with them exist.
I still insist that Coulter will eventually strip off the makeup and the falsies and announce that for the past N years (s)he has been executing an extended performance art piece centered around humanity’s gullibility.
And she would’ve gotten away with it, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!
MY reply to Kathleen Parker on Hillary and Religion–
Hillary was a Lay Minister in her Methodist Church.
Hillary has always been a regular attendee at church. Unlike you know who.
Hillary loves her Bible.
Hillary has always prayed to God for Guidance. With her family.
In private as directed by Jesus not on street corners as the hypocrites.
Hillary cares for the less fortunate as Jesus.
Hillary loves Peace On Earth not Wars
Hillary is against killing via executions.
I disagree with her on Gay marriage and permissive abortions..
Her husband had it correct and shut out opponents with his–
Safe-Legal-Rare–Rape-Incest-mom’s life
Opponents are “mommies killers” let mom die to save itsy bitsy sperm and egg.
They will eventually want to outlaw Masturbation–Menstrual Period–Wet Dreams.
They destroy eggs and sperm which prevents life.
Hillary loves her family. She suffered to keep her marriage intact.
She stuck by Bill’s adultery due to her strong love for him as a total person not just one bad virtue amongst many good ones.
She knew her husband was 99% pure .
Hillary earned $23,000 one year as First Lady of Arkansas when her fellow lawyers made hundreds of thousands.
She spent a year and visited every school district working to improve schools.
Hillary is no Smearer.
Hillary does not Lie(intent to deceive)
Hillary respects others even when they disagree.
Hillary invited to the White House one of most evil smearers. Richard Melon Scaife.
Hillary has a brilliant mind. Not alcohol scorched one.
Hillary will hire experts in each area to manage our government. Bill did same.
One of major reason for Clinton’s success was the experts he hired in the government.
She has not announced for President.
The Moogumboo and Frog Manure will be unreal for the next
31 months.
The American Conservative has an article with her pic on front as a witch.
Republicans are desperate to retain power. Many will go to jail with a Democratic Congress or Justice Department.
