Lately, Ann's gotten a little too big for her britches. She thinks the media attention she gets is evidence that she is saying something profoundly important when in many cases she is being used because she is a drop dead gorgeous conservative woman (making the liberal women look all the more ugly). The boob job was my first clue that this attention is going to Ann's head. This "let's Christianize them" thing pushed the envelope too far. i don't think Ann realizes there are limits on what even she can say and get away with. Jonah Goldberg is kind of a punk, but i think he's not out of line on this one.

This "let's Christianize them" thing pushed the envelope too far.

While I don't agree with you, I do agree that you have put you're finger on the problem. And the problem is the "conversion" of National Review.

I have been a longtime (45 year) subscriber to NR. I have always known it was not a Christian magazine. It was conservative, but Buckley was at least a Catholic -- and therefore nominally Christian.

Now fast forward to 2001 and Ann Coulter is fired for what? Suggesting that the solution to our problems with primitive pagans would be solved by conversion to Christianity. Well, here's news -- IT IS THE SOLUTION.

What is truly sad is that on this forum, people are talking about everything but the issue. I read nonsense about the length of her skirts, her hair, her bustline. None of that was the reason that NR -- of all entities -- fired her. They fired her because she SAID what every Christian KNOWS -- the solution to our problems with the Mohammedans is their conversion to Christianity.

As I have said before on this forum, I am done with NR after 45 years. Not because of Ann Coulter, but because NR has abandoned Truth. Ann Coulter's firing is a symptom of NR's disease; it has rotted from the inside.
