Nobody’s heard what she’s going to say, yet. Amazing.

This is the same Ann Coulter who REGULARLY "speaks before" such paragons of our conservative ideals as The View, Katie Couric, James Carville, Bill Maher, Alan Colmes -- and God knows who else...

She is debating and refuting all of those people, not giving them legitimacy. Pro-homo "conservatives" quoted in this article know her appearance is giving this group legitimacy within the conservative movement.

"If she says you guys are wrong, then what better forum to discuss the subject. If she says 'right on queers' then I may have to re evaluate my opinion of her."

What if she neither condones their lifestyle nor criticizes it? What if she spoke at a NAMBLA convention because they paid her to. And she just spoke about Conservative issues but didn't confront them on their perversity. Isn't that by default giving them legitimacy by lending her name to the event?

Ronald Reagan have spoken to a homosexual special rights organization?

"Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality." --Ronald Reagan, July 12, 1984.

Even if it was genetic, would that make it right? The Fall corrupted everything. Even if the blueprints say the wall goes here, doesn't mean that's what the architect intended. I refer to the Architect when the blueprints are suspect.

Ann doesn't seem pro-gay agenda here: Should gay priests adopt?. Don't think she's changed her point of view.

Really, do you think anyone here wants to go out and google N$MBLA?

But then Kevin Jennings is the Safe School Czar.

If, and only if, Coulter speaks out against gay marriage, the repeal of DADT and the threat to religious freedom and parental rights caused by the homosexual agenda during this speech will have respect for her.

If she does, I will apologize here to her.

That's a pretty tall order, for a speech that will probably only last 15-20 minutes...
...particularly since she ALSO has to squeeze in attacks on ObamaCare, the RAT's judicial malpractice, their "pro-terrorist" foreign policy, and their DISASTROUS economic policy...
...as well as promote OUR agenda.
But, that's O.K. -- she talks fast. :o)
So I'll bookmark this post for 9/26 -- for your apology. Or mine. ;)

“politics and sexual preference do not correlate ... I’d truly have to say that they were born that way”

Are you honestly claiming that there is nothing seriously wrong with a man who eroticizes the hairy waste elimination canal of another male? Even a child would react with complete revulsion to their lifestyle. On what planet is someone like that not considered mentally deranged?

If she doesn't criticize the primary agenda of this group, she gives the group legitimacy and suffers the consequences.

And, I think she could squeeze something in about gay marriage and DADT if she really wants. Why would think otherwise?

DISASTROUS economic policy

What good is a healthy economy if we don't have religious freedom, parental rights or free speech, all which are threatened by the homosexual agenda of GOProud?

“This is the same Ann Coulter who REGULARLY ‘speaks before’ such paragons of our conservative ideals as The View, Katie Couric, James Carville, Bill Maher, Alan Colmes — and God knows who else...
...without giving any of THEM them “legitimacy.” (She cleans their clocks!)”

This is a total mischaracterization. Those are news type shows and she WASN’T paid. She debated and discussed issues. This militant homosexual group GOProud is PAYING her to speak and they are promoting her as their “Judy Garland”. Are you willfully blinding yourself to what is going on here? What if a NAMBLA convention invited her to speak and promoted it with posters announcing “Ann Coulter: the boylover’s MLK”. Would that indicate any kind of tacit approval of their degenerate lifestyle or special rights agenda? Hello?

Any atheist is a dunce and incapable of understanding that the foundation of this nation's freedom was that our Founders based liberty on the concept that rights were inalienable and come from the Creator.

Not to take a cheap shot, but look at how some in the Catholic church hierarchy turned a blind eye to the behavior of some of its priests.

Nothing wrong with insisting on accuracy. It was just one of those things where I saw some photos in the New York Post and some Pro-Life publications (HLI Reports, maybe?) and Fidelity Magazine, and I assumed it was business as usual because I had not heard otherwise.

Regarding the Church hierarchy, well it was Danté who said that the floor of hell was paved with the skulls of bishops. The funny thing is that this stuff had been leaking out since at least the early '90's. The Wanderer, a conservative Catholic paper, had covered the problems in Texas, including and especially the quiet transfers of known bad apples. It also reported on problem dioceses (because of problems in the seminaries) where it was opined that trouble was likely to happen, though there was not yet hard evidence.

Eventually there was a settlement in the Texas case. Even then, it was sort of understood that this was a widespread problem. At the time, conservative Catholics WANTED the truth to come out. We had assumed that the papers and networks weren't covering it (web was not yet, Internet was limited to military and University types including me using FTP and Gopher) because they were in sympathy with homosexual priests. For some reason, they waited for it to hit Boston, or maybe it was just a matter of the right reporter or the right victim getting heard.

In any event, the conservatives always wanted to find them, expose them, and weed them out. That said, there is also a danger of embracing a policy where priests are dismissed or assumed guilty just on someone's say so. It would be easy for some faux victim who either wants to hit the jackpot or wants to hurt the Church to make up a story. Unfortunately, even some priests who are outwardly good, pious and orthodox have been actually guilty, so we can't make assumptions either way based on age or orthodoxy.

God formed the world from chaos, sin brings chaos back in. These are difficult times for Catholics, and are likely to get worse. We have Christ's Promise, and if we can cling to Him, we shall be saved.

I am a flaming heterosexual, do not support gay marriage, and I am fine w/Ann going to speak to them.

Conversation among conservatives does not hurt...

GOProud is not a conservative group. That is the point.

Here is GOProud’s legislative agenda. 90% leftist homosexual agenda, 10% conservative.

GOProud is a militant homosexual front group. This is what they say about themselves:

Chairman of the Board, Christopher Barron: “We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people.”

Twitter Aug 4, 2010 http://twitter.com/

Below is verbatim from their websites, my comments as “NOTE:”

http://www.goproud.org.php5-12.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/federal-legislative-priorities/

Federal Legislative Priorities

GOProud’s Conservative Agenda

The so-called “gay agenda” is defined by the left through a narrow prism of legislative goals. While hate crimes and employment protections may be worthy goals, there are many other important priorities that receive little attention from the gay community. GOProud’s agenda emphasizes conservative and libertarian principles that will improve the daily lives of all Americans, but especially gay and lesbian Americans.

NOTE: “Hate crimes” and forcing people to hire homosexuals are WORTHY GOALS!

1 – TAX REFORM - Death tax repeal; domestic partner tax equity, and other changes to the tax code that will provide equity for gays and lesbians; cut in the capital gains and corporate tax rates to jump start our economy and create jobs; a fairer, flatter and substantially simpler tax code.

NOTE: Domestic partner - more “gay” rights!

2 – HEALTHCARE REFORM – Free market healthcare reform.
Legislation that will allow for the purchase of insurance across state lines – expanding access to domestic partner benefits; emphasizing individual ownership of healthcare insurance – such a shift would prevent discriminatory practices by an employer or the government.

NOTE: Domestic partner health benefits - end “discrimination” - code words for “gay” rights!

3 – SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM - Bringing basic fairness to the Social Security system through the creation of inheritable personal savings accounts.

NOTE: “Fairness” is a code word for “gay” rights!

4 – DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL REPEAL – Repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.

NOTE: They want homosexuals in the military!

5 – HOLDING THE LINE ON SPENDING – Standing up for all tax payers against wasteful and unneccessary spending to protect future generations from the mounting federal debt.

NOTE: But they want government spending for “gay” rights!

6 – FIGHTING GLOBAL EXTREMISTS – Standing strong against radical regimes who seek to criminalize gays and lesbians.

NOTE: They want the US to police other countries for “gay” rights!

7 – DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION – Opposing any anti-gay federal marriage amendment.

NOTE: THEY WANT HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE!

8 – ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP – Package of free market reforms to encourage and support small businesses and entrepreneurship in the gay community.

NOTE: Tax money to “GAY COMMUNITY”!

9 – REVITALIZING OUR COMMUNITIES – A package of urban related reforms; expanding historic tax preservation credits; support for school choice.

NOTE: They want tax money for old town parts of cities where homosexuals often live!

10 – DEFENDING OUR COMMUNITY – Protecting 2nd amendment rights.
