Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I'm thinking they were wanting to ax Ann long before this article came out and were just waiting for a good excuse to fire her. Well, they let the editorial get published with the "convert them all to christiananity" comment and *poof* they now have a reason to fire her. If they truly valued Ann's contributions then they would have asked her to remove those comments prior to publishing. Yes, which is why the "men" at National Review are girly-boys.
