In Ann Coulter's latest book, she asserts that "liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as 'religion,'" including a creation mythology (evolution), priests (public school teachers) and a holy sacrament (abortion).
"Godless: The Church of Liberalism," is the fifth book written by the best-selling author and commentator. "Godless" hits store shelves on June 6, 2006 (6/6/06, a date she deliberately chose since the numbers correspond to the mark of the beast.)
Cybercast News Service interviewed Ann Coulter about her book. Our questions and her replies are published here, in their entirety.
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.
Cybercast News Service: Most people consider evolution to be a branch of science, or at least a scientific theory, yet in "Godless," you refer to it as a "cult" and a "fetish." What is your basis for calling it that?
Ann Coulter: There is no evidence that it is true. The fossil record contradicts it, and it is a theory that cannot be disproved. Whatever happens is said to "prove" evolution. This is the very definition of a pseudoscience, like astrology. (Of course, I would say that. I'm just a Capricorn, aren't I?)
Cybercast News Service: Creationism is not considered a science because it can't be observed or empirically tested. You assert in your book that the theory of evolution has the same problems. Why then has the U.S. public school system been willing to accept the theory of evolution, but snubbed creationism?
Ann Coulter: Because evolution is the official state religion. Although it is possible to believe in God and evolution, it is not possible to not believe in God without believing in evolution -- otherwise, atheists have no explanation for why we are here. Thus, it's very important for the liberal clergy to force small school children to believe in a discredited mystery religion from the 19th century -- evolution -- in order to prepare them to believe in the nonexistence of God, one of the main goals of the American public education system.
Cybercast News Service: Al Gore and others assert that the recent rash of destructive hurricanes, tornadoes, snow storms, heat waves, etc. are by-products of "global warming." Many in politics and the media also believe that "global warming" is indisputably threatening our future. Has the political Left won the debate over "global warming," or is there any way to persuade the majority of America that we're not burning up?
Ann Coulter: The Left will have won the debate on global warming when the American people agree to give up their cars, their commercial air travel and their manufacturing jobs. You let me know when that happens, OK?
As I said in Slander, the reason "global warming" has become such a burning issue for liberals is that this time we can't prove them wrong for a thousand years. They were wrong about the Rosenbergs, wrong about Alger Hiss, wrong about McCarthy, wrong about the Cold War, wrong about Reagan, wrong about welfare reform, wrong about tax cuts, wrong about Clinton, wrong about Ayatollah Khomeini -- wrong about everything. With global warming, they finally have an issue to be hysterical about that we won't be able to prove them wrong for a thousand years!
Cybercast News Service: What do liberal environmentalists have against toilets that use water?
Ann Coulter: They admire the living situation of the earthworm and believe humans should emulate it.
This is why they adore primitive societies where people crap in holes behind their mud huts. They pray that these primitives never leave the mud huts -- unless it's to come clean their designer spa bathrooms "off the books."
Cybercast News Service: Do you think any of them has ever used the type of dry toilet that they advocate?
Ann Coulter: Well, that would certainly explain why they're so cranky all the time. Dry toilets are worthless. You can't even use them to destroy a copy of the Koran. And believe me, I've tried.
Cybercast News Service: Why do you consider abortion the holiest sacrament of the liberal "religion"?
Ann Coulter: It's their version of virgin sacrifice. The Democrats will betray any special interest group -- except the pro-abortion ladies. If you mean why is it the holiest sacrament of the liberal religion, it is because they think if women have access to easy abortions, they can engage in carefree trysts without consequence.
Cybercast News Service: Do you think Democrats will ever nominate a presidential candidate who's considered pro-life?
Ann Coulter: Sure, right after they invent a time machine and nominate a Democrat who can be trusted on national defense.
Cybercast News Service: Please compare the success between adult stem-cell research and research using embryonic stem cells. What does this show about liberals' attitude toward science?
Ann Coulter: The difference in their success is roughly equivalent to the difference in success between the computer and the flushless toilet. Adult stem cells have been used to treat more than 80 diseases. Embryonic stem cells have cured nothing -- they have never, ever been tried in one human clinical trial. The embryonic stem cell debate is a fraud to lure Americans into ceding ground on human experimentation.
Cybercast News Service: What advice would you give Tony Snow on handling the media now that he's the new White House press secretary?
Ann Coulter: Make sure Helen Thomas passes through a metal detector
With a title like that, I got to bump this thread.
Priceless.

LOL!

No, they will not apologize. It wasn't false prophecy. It was a deliberate lie to young American voters. SeeBS-Viacom's MTV ran "newsbreaks" in the middle of programs like Pimp My Ride to warn young voters of Bush's looming draft. Scare them into voting Rat.
LOL. Great line Ann
Is man also responsible for storm activity on Jupiter?
Bump
ROFL!
Hear! Hear!
Kudos!
All the names we have been called, all the screaming into our faces and the name-calling. For pointing out the Truth.
Maybe, we pioneered the likes of this beauty :-).
She really has a very keen mind. She doesn't have Rush's gift of "likeability," though. I think it's more difficult for a woman to "thread the needle," though. I mean, to be effective as an adversary against liberalism, and "likeable" at the same time.
BTTT
Yeah, she's jumped the shark with this bit of foolishness.
It looks like her massive Adam's Apple was airbrushed out of the cover pic. She reminds me of Morton Downey Jr, minus the entertainment value.
Why would you say that someone has "a very keen mind" after posting evidence of that person's idiocy?
