Ann Coulter's 'Idiotic' Response to Christian Missions

One of the essential lessons of clear thinking is to avoid specious either/or dichotomies. Ann Coulter violated this basic standard in her intentionally sensational article, Ebola Docs Condition Downgraded to Idiotic." She wondered why missionary doctor Kent Brantly didnt stay in the U.S. to serve Christ instead of going to Liberia, where he risked making his wife a widow and his children fatherless. In other words, in Anns opinion, Christian service is limited to one of two options: serve in the U.S., or abandon wife and children to slink off to do heroic good works in Third World countries that are disease-ridden cesspools. Obviously to folks with Anns infantile perspective, such idiocy is merely to impress people like the NY Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. It is ironic that someone as so publicity-obsessed as Coulter would have the gall to assert that if missionaries werent so narcissistic and had courage or werent burned out over all the social problems in the U.S., theyd stay in some deadbeat town in the U.S. and forego all the superlatives they get for serving as foreign missionaries.
I probably is a waste of time to ask the question: did you really mean to reveal how shallow your thinking can be?
Ann Coulter has made a living by saying outrageous, shocking things, wrote Dr. Russell D. Moore, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Moore focuses his remarks on the lack of discernment and wisdom shown by those who fall for hucksters and demagogues like Coulter and Donald Trump, who even earned the ire of Nigerians when he suggested that missionaries had to be willing to suffer the consequences when they enter Christian service.

She used to hook up with Bill Maher, but I don’t keep up with her so I cannot say if they still are or not.

Ann has come out against Evangelical Christians, and finally doing it in the open, she has been hinting at this for years as she supported gay penetration of the GOP and Mitt Romney for at least 7 years, etc.
I wonder if she will write on Spain and the Catholic church?
A Spanish priest who contracted Ebola while working in a hospital in Liberia was flown back to Spain for treatment, along with a nun who is to be isolated in case of infection.

I guess since we spend $20,000 per American child in education with very dismal results, some people think they’ll be able to accomplish more elsewhere.

Ann Coulter was an idiot from the get-go. An obvious circus clown. And no, just saying what we like from time to time doesn’t make the person any less a clown.

exactly - God placed me here....why should I expend resources to go over the xxxxx where Im culturally and societally unaccepted?
What makes better sense is training someone who is culturally relevant to impact change from within.

Ann should take over for the recently departed Fred Phelps from the Westboro Baptist Church.. Two hate filled phony Christians.

Her obnoxious style is old and worn and it isn’t good for conservatives.

So you’re saying there is no biblical basis for missions?
