I suppose SHE would gripe at Father Damien who worked with the lepers in Hawaii.
Even the US Government honored him for his work.
There are times she needs to shut up or find better political battles to fight.
“...Ebola kills only the body; the virus of spiritual bankruptcy and moral decadence spread by so many Hollywood movies infects the world....”
When she’s on target, boy, is she EVER on target...
No one knows his heart? Everyone is claiming he’s a hero
Logic, folks.
Ann can be way off she was recently praising McConnell
But I know as well as Ann that for this guy to be considered a hero takes some overlooking of his being a young family man in addition to his bringing a dread disease into our hospital system
“God has you where He wants you.”
So, I guess the doctor and the other person were where God wanted them, no?
I mean you can’t have it both ways.
Maybe no one should ever leave their home town, but quite frankly we gave that up pretty much right after we got kicked out of the Garden of Eden.
Coulter nails it - her best column ever.
Her “thesis” centers on service as a zero-sum game, a pox that affects leftists. Ack! I can’t comment more on Coulter’s narrow and ridiculous screed.
You don’t have to go to foreign lands to be a missionary anymore. Ubama is bringing all their poor here.
To second guess the charity’s decision to spend money to bring their missionary’s home is reminiscent of Judas’s complaint about the woman pouring expensive perfume on Jesus’s feet.
I don’t think anyone has the right to second guess a doctor who puts his life on the line by treating deadly diseases in a third world country.
The decision to bring him home at whatever expense, was almost certainly the charities decision probably in conjunction with the CDC who may have had their own reasons for wanting them transported to the U.S. It was their decision to make and nobody else’s.
We can question the CDC letting the disease into the country. But to question the expense incurred by the charity is just rather snarky. I realize Ann was probably shooting from the hip, which she usually does well, but this time she is out of line.
“Go ye therefore and teach those nations which are near to you or most convenient to meet your needs.” - Matthew 28:19, Coulter Standard Version
Doctors love to go on medical missions because they actually get to practice real medicine instead of DEALING WITH CHEESY LAWYERS LIKE ANN COULTER.
Is there a new push against Evangelical Christians being launched?
“Crocodile Crock: Sir Elton Attacks Christian Missions—and We’re Paying for It!”
“”What is wholly offensive, however, is Sir Elton John’s attack on Christian missionaries is being funded by U.S. taxpayers—Us!—and distributed to the very nations that are in dire need of help. This Voice of America video is titled “AIDS 2014—Living in the Shadows.” It’s a series of stories of truly terrible treatment of people suffering from AIDS, or survivors whose family members died of AIDS. There’s nothing wrong with showing compassion for these desperate people.
There’s a lot wrong, however, with Elton John pushing the idea that the spread of AIDS is the fault of Christians, especially American Evangelicals, who have “targeted Africa for thirty years.”
(snip)
The world has just witnessed an amazing story of Christian missionaries facing death by Ebola for the sake of Christ. Dr. Kent Brantly and his colleague, Nancy Writebol, were airlifted from West Africa to Emory University to an isolation unit. Both of these Christian medical missionaries serve with Samaritan’s Purse, the aid organization founded by Dr. Franklin Graham. He’s the son of famed evangelist, Billy Graham.
Both of these missionaries risked death to treat victims of another deadly plague.
This Elton John attack video—promoted by the Obama administration—could not come at a worse time. Throughout Africa, the Mideast, and South Asia, Christians are suffering persecution worse than at any time since the eighth century. Daily, Christians are murdered, raped, tortured, and driven from their homes. They are ordered to convert to Islam, pay a jizya tax, or be killed.
In the face of this historic evil, the Obama administration’s record of muted response and a blind eye is a shameful one. But worst of all, when Christians are being attacked, the Government of the United States is weighing in with this bigoted video.
It seems the Obama administration’s foreign policy—which is in total meltdown—consists of making the culture war a world war. Sir Elton John’s participation in the Voice of America video is but the latest example of this administration’s hostility to Christian practice and belief.””
I dunno. The two Americans brought home and treated with the new magic tabacco serum has created a climate of awareness about them that could lead to them being fast tracked and put into the field years sooner than it would have been otherwise, thus potentially saving thousands of lives over the next ten years.
God has his own plans. That $2 million bucks may have been very cost effective method of painting the FDA regulators into a corner where they have to cooperate with instead of frustrate the process.
"For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" JesusThere is no way to put a price on a soul.
2. Why go overseas?
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," Jesus.Christians are commanded to meet real needs and spread the Gospel here and overseas.
The truth is often harsh and ugly....never the less it is still the truth.
Q; Whats wrong with Ann Coulter?..
A; Shes a lawyer..
Yes, it might be a bit much to presume.
I promise you, no matter what you do in this life, someone somewhere will say, "what do you want to do that for?"
And when things go wrong, there will be plenty of people who will say, "I'd never do that". And the answer is, no, you wouldn't.
It’s easier for liberal elites to feel superior to third world types than to Americans in this country. Plus the travel and stories are better...
That said, there are saintly people who actually do a lot of good in the world... I suspect the good doctor who came down with Ebola was in the group that was doing good. Ann Coulter has also chosen a difficult path - she brings goodness to the world also... just in a different way.
Coulter is an attention addict. Best thing to do would be to just ignore here.
