You missed the point entirely. Horowitz does not personally fear the religious right personally, he fears the effect that they could have on the "big tent" of the Republican party. I am aware that he has nothing but disdain for for the religious right and I also never meant that to suggest that Ann Coulter is part of the religious right. What I said was that she aimed her book at lighting a fire under the religious right to fight the philosophic war with the left.

Like I said on another post, Ann was singing to the choir, preaching to the congregation (moderates) and outraging the sinning leftists.

I'm not really sure how one qualifies as a member of the "religious right," but I do know that Ann appears to believe not only in God, but in Christianity---she even gives the Lord an acknowledgement at the start of "Treason." I believe she's Catholic, which is cool, because so am I.

I don't know whether there's any truth to the rumors that Ann has been this or that person's "paramour." However, I do know that people who profess Christianity---be it Catholicism or Presbyterianism---know that sinning, repentance, and divine forgiveness are part of the profession. I also know that Ann has never espoused violation of Christian tenets about sexual morality. Recalling the Lord's challenge in John Chapter 8, I find it hard to believe that a fellow Christian (not to mention at this point a fellow conservative) would try to make an issue of Ann's private conduct on a thread about whether or not her book "Treason" is factually accurate or stylistically appropriate.

I respectfully disagree with your point. I think Ann is incontrovertibly "right," and I will warmly credit her religious profession. For me then, Ann is part of the "religious right," and one of its most precious members.
