Coons Stonewalls on Yale Courses (Marxist? - Delaware's Senate Candidate)
The American Spectator ^ | 9.29.10 @ 12:11PM | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 09/29/2010 3:04:13 PM PDT by DelaWhere

It is increasingly clear why. After looking into Coons' love affair with the Marxism-as-Christianity "liberation theology" and specifically his volunteering for the South African Council of Churches, the Coons Yale Divinity School interview surfaced. It is clear the "Bearded Marxist" article was not, as Coons and his liberal media friends have tried to portray it, any kind of a joke.

After a serious look here at The American Spectator at the courses, assigned reading, and teachers of Yale Divinity School -- Coons clammed up. Suddenly Coons has gone silent on the entire topic.

When questioned about his statements, his studies, his professors, Coons clams up!

"I will bring my Yale Divinity School values to the Senate."

"Since Coons' liberal friends have made much of a high-school date by O'Donnell with a guy into witchcraft, did Chris Coons take the "Witchcraft" course the school offers? How about the "Queer Worship," "Feminist/Womanist/Gendered Theologies" or "Introduction to Christian Ethics II" courses? The latter featuring readings by Black Liberation theology guru James Cone and social justice evangelist Ronald Sider? If not, what specific courses did Coons take while getting his Master of Arts in Religion at YDS -- graduating in 1994. Who were his teachers? What was the assigned reading?"

NO ANSWERS!

Coons is silent because he is ahead. He will hide under the desk as long as he can. He does not want it known how left he really is.

O’Donnell’s people NEED to EXPLOIT this, and put a barrage of ads on which focus on his marxist roots.

It’s true, so JUST DO IT.

Given the last 2 weeks controversy, it's hilarious that

Coon's coursework included "Religion 717: Witches and Witch Hunting"

I just read: God and Man at Yale by William F. Buckley, Jr. and he wrote about his classes and professors.

He actually quotes the professors in 1950, mind you...and they most definitely were collectivists and anti-Christian. He proves it in the book.

I can only imagine what tripe and cr*p comes out of the current crop of so-called “professors” sixty years later.

Buckley was trying to point out the travesty that education at Yale had become which was nothing more than a Marxist brainwashing machine...pumping out Marxist/atheists from a so-called “Christian” university.

He thought it very odd that they would denigrate capitalism and free markets and a belief in God since it was what made this country so great and superior to any in the history of man.

Of course, the Progressives were undermining this nation starting with the transformation of the educational system by John Dewey and his Progressive/Marxists friends.

We need to clean up all curricula and get rid of these books that promote the big lies. They have to be fumigated. Not allow cr*p and lies in the schools being used to turn our kids into non-thinkers and little Marxist/atheists.

Well, I don’t know if (or if not) Coons has something to hide. I am just going by the pattern here.

When is the last time the media trying SO hard not to vett a candidate? Yep, we got Mr. DopeyChangey teh WON his very self.

I firmly believe those media type were fully aware who Mr. Obama truly is. And in the case of Mr. Coons, it is the same thing.

As a Delaware voter, I will assume the worst about Coons, unless he can clear things up.

>>>As a Delaware voter, I will assume the worst about Coons, unless he can clear things up.<<<

I’ve been doing quite a bit of investigating - and this Delaware Voter has seen enough for me...

Whether it is the First Amendment Rights, Fourteenth Amendment that he violated against different citizens who spoke out against his policies - he was found guilty and then hid behind the ‘immunity of his office’ to avoid conviction...

The vowing to support Harry Reid and Obama policies...

The signing of sweetheart contracts with unions that increase expenses twice as fast as income...

The 5%, 17.5% and 25% property tax increases in 4 years that only put them in the black for THIS YEAR - next year 7% budgeted shortfall, and it escalates from there(their cash-flows are public record so I checked)...

The blowing through more than 2/3 of the reserves the county had, and the forthcoming BANKRUPTCY in 2014 with Zero reserves left unless massive additional tax increases are put into place... Their AAA rating was with reservations and concerns. Namely the depleting of reserves and continued spending beyond income...

Being for Cap and Trade, for Obamacare, Federal funding for abortions, thinks negotiations will reduce necessity for military, - the list goes on and on...

I really haven’t found an area that I can agree with him on.

Soooo, this voter and our whole danged family will be supporting Christine wholeheartedly!
