Ann Coulter is a buffoon.
She has some excellent points. Plus, what would have been truly courageous is if he was sacrificing himself for him to STAY there and not come here possibly exposing our whole country to the thing. Running home to mama so to speak. Missionaries are true martyrs and God Bless them, but there are other points to consider, especially about possibly serving here as well.
The author is using Ann Coulter as a club to attack American Christians.
I don't know of any Christians(in my parish anyway) who spend all day sitting on their behinds. They work hard at the difficult and dangerous jobs that make our country work. They support and nurture their families. They coach and support the youth sports teams. They volunteer in the parish and in the community.
I don't have any respect for some self important little punk like the author who says American Christians just sit on their behinds.
Good article. Well said.
Why would an American doctor, or soldier or researcher in Africa working with and treating Ebola, not expect to come home if he needed medical treatment to save his life?
Since when did giving aid in other nations become a one way suicide trip?
Ann wrote an extremely nasty and anti-Christian article condemning Evangelical Christian missionaries from Franklin Graham’s organization as “narcissistic Christians”.
She is disgusting and idiotic.
America is not rich, we are so deep in debt our great-great grandchildren will still be paying it off as debt slaves.
Liberia, which means "land of the free," was founded by free African-Americans and freed slaves from the United States in 1820.The first ship, Mayflower of Liberia(formerly Elizabeth), departed New York on February 6, 1820, for West Africa, with 86 settlers.[1][2] Between 1821 and 1838, the American Colonization Society developed the first settlement, which would be known as Liberia.[3] On July 26, 1847, it declared its independence.

I did not think her article was nasty or anti-Christian. I don't agree with her point that Christians should not help those from other countries but this is the gist of what she said:
“Right there in Texas, near where Dr. Brantly left his wife and children to fly to Liberia and get Ebola, is one of the poorest counties in the nation, Zavala County — where he wouldn't have risked making his wife a widow and his children fatherless.
Today's Christians are aces at sacrifice, amazing at serving others, but strangely timid for people who have been given eternal life.”
Her point was simple. Charity begins at home. Help those close by before flying around the world.
That is not anti-Christian.
However, the author said American Christians sit on their behinds all day. That is anti-Christian.
Amen. What a wonderful article.
The fear mongering and ignorance of true risk is mind boggling. You ask an excellent question.
It is none of Coulter’s business what the Dr. does on his own time with his own dime and it is certainly not her business to get between the Dr. and the Holy Spirit. She’s as bad as the government for cripe sake.
I am impressed with the great number of Muslim physicians that have volunteered to travel to Africa to treat the poor that are dying of Ebola. The oil rich Arabian nations are pulling the majority of the weight to help the poor African nations. Yea, sure. Why doesn’t the MSM point this out?
Add pathetically thin. I mean, anorexic-looking thin. While I do not support many of her recent political comments/stunts, I do worry about her health.
Ann Coulter in her article “”There may be no reason for panic about the Ebola doctor, but there is reason for annoyance at Christian narcissism.””
She is an idiot to attack Evangelical Christians and missionary work in Africa and especially Ebola work by our evangelical Christians, and U.S. Army and CDC in Africa.
I wonder if she will write an article about Spain tomorrow and the Catholic church?
“”A Spanish priest who contracted Ebola while working in a hospital in Liberia was flown back to Spain for treatment, along with a nun who is to be isolated in case of infection””
I said I don't agree with her point that Christians should not help those from other countries.
It is not his own dime. Both his and his nurse's medical and transportation costs are paid by others. If they are paid by a charity, it is the decision of those who donate to the charity. If they are paid for by taxpayers, it is every taxpayer's business.
“There may be no reason for panic about the Ebola doctor, but there is reason for annoyance at Christian narcissism”
I agree with you about that. It is clearly not narcissism that motivates the doctor and it is stupid for her to say it is. I said I don’t agree with her point.
I totally agree with you! If Dr Brantly and the missionary were left in Liberia, they would have most likely perished. They have lost total control over there and they are basically giving up and closing the hospitals. Dr. Brantley and the missionary would have been left to fend for themselves without any medical care. They are American citizens and they should have been brought back to “momma”.
As for them endangering American citizens, I do not believe that Dr. Brantley would have allowed himself or the missionary to be brought back home if he thought that would be the case. Anybody that would risk his life to help people in a hell hole of a country is a great person and I am willing to give him and the missionary the benefit of the doubt!
