"In my experience, some of the most obnoxious and self-righteous leftists in America (and probably also South America) are Christian Leftists. "

I don't call a bunch of people that support gay marriage, spew out Bush hatred as a matter of routine, and stand practially every single Christian principle in the bible, Christians.
I don't care if they are "priests" or not.
Some of the biggest con men, swindlers,vicious murderers and spewers of hate that he have had in New York have been "reverend" fathers.
A guy like "Reverend Jessie Jackson spews out more BDS hate than 99% of the people on the planet, and Jimmy Carter, is as evil as they come, despite professing to be a "Christan".
Ann is right. These people ARE Godless.

[Carl LaFong]

Especially when she stands sideways..sorry....that was uncalled for..but I kid Ann..

[Jameison]

"I have read here on FR that claim that Ann will do to 'conservatism' what Mikey did to liberalism."

That piece of nonsense keep getting repeated by the DU/Kos trolls on this site, simply parroting out the loony left talking points.
How anyone can compare the fiercely patriotic Ann Coulter, to a Michael Moore that not only makes a viciously anti-American movies, but spent months traveling Europe spewing out as much aniti-American bile and stirring up as much anti-American hatred, is beyond me.

[Jameison]

"....that was uncalled for..but I kid Ann.."


No You don't
You merely kid yourself.

[samtheman]

You're making the same mistake liberals make, defining religion to fit your own bias. The fact is, liberation theology pukes believe in god, and just because it's not your god, the fact is, it's a belief in god. And when Coulter claims that liberalism=godless she's very nearly as much an idiot as the very idiots she so beautifully condemns for their obvious idiocy.

[samtheman]

Question: Who invented Socialism?

[samtheman]

Actually, I withdraw the word "invented". Socialism was probably invented by the Greeks.

But the tradition of "self sacrifice for the greater good" which Karl Marx and Vlad Lenin so eagerly picked up on... where did that come from? What deeply-routed tradition were they building on?

Any idea? Hint: what a friend we have in ....

[Jameison]

"You're making the same mistake liberals make, defining religion to fit your own bias."

Nonsense.
Christianity is Christianity.
There is no "buts" of "ifs" about it.
I cannot see any definition of Christianity that come anywhere near closer to Jessie Jackson's or Jimmy Carter's constant spewing out of Bush hate.
I happen to know my bible.
If you think constantly spewing out vicious hate is Christianity, you have no idea what Christianity is.

[Jameison]

"The fact is, liberation theology pukes believe in god, and just because it's not your god, the fact is, it's a belief in god."

There ya go.
Ann Coulter's book is called "Godless", not "godless".
Now if you have read your bible, you will know that one and only God himself got angry with the Israelites, when they started worshiping your kinds of "gods" who's creed consists of debauchery, drunkenness, and every kind of crime known to man.
Jessie Jackson, screwing women outside his marriage and actually furthering a child with another woman while married, while at the same time, practically every word that comes out of his mouth is hate, is not part of any Christianity I know.

[samtheman]

I never said anything about Jackson or Carter. I have no idea about them personally. But there are plenty of liberal Christians.

And even forgetting the word liberal for a moment, let me ask you this:

If George Bush were an Ayn Rand conservative instead of an evangelical conservative, do you think the federal budget would be smaller or larger than it is right now?

I don't care how conservative evangelicals want to be, the fact is they are lured by the same self-sacrifice garbage that the left is. Although they are a million times more worthy than the leftists, as individuals and as a group, the fact is, they still have this incredible weakness for the self-sacrifice myth, which is easily exploited, even with the best of intentions. As in the case of W.

[Just mythoughts]

I have to agree it is stunning to be told there is anything to be compared about Ann and Mikey.

Considering what has been said about the US, President Bush and conservatives in general over these past many years, by these leftist hate America most crowd, it is strange to be told conservatism and conservatives are to turn the other cheek. It is as though there is a small segment of moderates whose only concern is maintaining their health care and social security and protected gated communities.

They forget what it was that allowed the Vietnam syndrome to take hold and paralyze the national spine, even though these twisted liberals are alllllll about reenacting that quagmire of their own creation.

A lot of nice words in the article but when all is said and done, I see little Coulter does to further the conservative cause. She makes matters worse when she puts people into the position of having to defend her classless style.

Sorry, but the conservative cause does not have to be furthered in the way she attempts to do. Her words are nothing more than emotions coming out. Liberals are the people that do and say things based on emotions. I prefer a more mature approach to things and especially not in a manner designed to sell books.

Now it's off my chest.

[samtheman]

jackson's the only "man of god" who committed adultery? No evangelicals ever did that? Want to check your facts on that?

By the way, my choice of what words to capitalize has no bearing on the validity of my argument. And if coulter says god must be capitalized (i'm not saying she does say that, but it seems you're implying that) then she's a bigger idiot than i thought.

[Jameison]

"Question: Who invented Socialism?"

Why don't you tell me?

[samtheman]

Like I said, I withdraw the word "invent". Probably goes way back.

But the tradition in the west, that was built on by Marx, Engels, Lenin and Mao. What tradition is that?

Any idea?

What is the fountainhead of socialist thought for the last 2 mellenia?

Hint: what a friend we have in ...

Don't Call Ann Coulter the Michael Moore of the Right

While the treatise on Moore vs. Cuban-Amercians is interesting, the premise of the article's title is much simpler to support -- regardless of one thinks of her bombastic, frequently over-the-top style, Coulter doen't make things up and pass them off as fact. From that view, she'll never sink to Moore's level, no matter how crude or caustic her opinion statements become.

[Jameison]

"But there are plenty of liberal Christians. "

Where are they at?
Name any well known liberals who are REALLY Christians (that is, for example, don't spew out Bush hate as a matter of routine). The Jimmy Carters of the world need not apply.


"If George Bush were an Ayn Rand conservative instead of an evangelical conservative, do you think the federal budget would be smaller or larger than it is right now? "

Exactly what does Ayn Rand or budget deficits got to do with Christianity?
Or Ann Coullter calling liberals "Godless"?

[Jameison]

"jackson's the only "man of god" who committed adultery?"

Plenty of "men of god", with small "g" have committed adultery, sure.
But they sure were not true men of God, with a big "G".
There is a difference.
Jessie Jackson not only screw other women routinely, like his leader BK Klinton, its hard to go for even one month without hearing some more vicious Bush hate coming from this sucker.
Is Jessie Jackson a Christian? Not a chance.
