“Your girl can’t compete on the accomplishments”

What accomplishments? You are right, she can’t compete with Coons. She’s not a Marxist. She’s not an Ivy leaguer.

She’s just an average every-day American girl.

Why would I want Coon’s accomplishments? I want someone who I believe will do the best thing for Americans. I want someone who understands common sense principles.

“just trying to find ways to make that not matter.”

Ok, question then. Does it bother you that Coons is, by his own admission, a Marxist? Why do you believe that education is a panacea? It’s not. Education is a tool. How you use your education is the important part, not the letters behind the name.

Maybe I should quote Buckley again. I’d rather be governed by the first 500 names out of a phone book than the board of Harvard. Buckley was an educated man, and he understood all to well the problems with education, and how education disassociates people from reality. It teaches them many things that simply are not so.

If Coons were pro life, pro market forces, pro anything that I believe, then he would be under consideration. As it is, despite his ‘education’ he’s chosen to be pro abortion, and pro market intervention. Pro marxist if you will like. I have a problem with Marxists, because I’ve known those who have survived under a real communist government. I want someone who believes in the American way of life, who respects Freedoms, not someone who dallied in Marxism because it was the fashionable ideology on campus.

Apparently Coonsie boy has decided to clam up about his once highly touted educational background...

.......................................................................

...this month Coons assured the Yale Divinity School's Notes from the Quad that serving in the Senate would be a "great way for me to apply the principles and values that were honed at YDS." Coons got a Master of Arts in Religion in 1994, specializing in ethics. He learned a lot.

Now everyone who has followed the Delaware race knows that the conservative, Christine O'Donnell, has been exposed by Bill Maher the comic genius for appearing on his show sometime in the 1990s and claiming to have "dabbled" in witchcraft. But do you know what was being taught at the Yale Divinity School when Coons was there as a graduate student? Witchcraft! Had Christine been a bit older and presumably sophisticated she could have attended classes with Chris and been taught witchcraft by scholars. Perhaps she could have earned a Ph.D. in the mysteries of reading chicken entrails.

Along with classes in witchcraft, there were classes in Queer Worship and Feminist/Womanist/Gendered Theologies, and, in the Introduction to Christian Ethics II, there was Black Liberation Theology, a study Coons first picked up in Africa. Were the "values" taught in these classes among those absorbed by Coons at the YDS? We do not know because Coons is not answering calls for him to release his transcripts.

More On The Delaware Race

Five e-mails and a follow-up phone call from The American Spectator to the Coons campaign have been ignored. The request? 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?

The kind of socialist values taught in these courses have a direct bearing on Americans since Coons insists he will bring these values to Washington with him.

But the once voluble Coons is suddenly doing the old Nixon stonewall routine -- simply refusing to answer any questions even as questions pile up about just what he was taught and by whom while at the Yale Divinity School.
