Ann the Man dispenses more of her "wisdom"... (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/10/04/coulter-opposes-women-voting/)

"If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."

Normally I agree, but Ann was in my area this week, giving a rant in Howell, MI (home of the KKK in MI).

She got front-page coverage from the conservative local paper. :rolleyes:

For the most part people tried to ignore her. There was only one guy who was outside protesting her, but they had a picture of him in that paper and his sign was hilarious. It said,

"Ann, you ignorant slut!" (SNL reference)

perhaps we should just take away her right to free speech like the left wants to do to anyone who oppsoses them in any way. even if its an obvious exageration that stupid assholes like that dick puppet dhrama spurts out without even knowing WTF is really going on.

sorry, I am just pissed off today about the whole rush limbaugh thing and seeing in plain sight the exact type of regurgitating left wing jerk off here on the boards that perpetrates such BS in the form of dhrama makes it worse.

I did not hear ANYONE one on the board suggest that. I guess what most are saying is that "WOW can you believe what this media hungry, ugly, sad, bitter, person said?" and then "WOW can you believe people still listen to her?"

But nobody is suggesting that she should be muzzled!

It's so funny to see the "tolerant" left mock her for her mannish looks when, by comparison, Janet Reno makes her look like Playboy Bunny. I mean, seriously - if Ann has a cock, then I can almost guarantee it's roughly 9" shorter than Helen Thomas'.

Are you suggesting Reno should? For fuck's sake, Nap - she's a man in a dress, period; no Adam's apple necessary to prove that one - for Janet sports a type of "full-blown" androgyny that Ann couldn't compete with if she actually exposed her own penis on CNN, prime time.

In short, there's simply no comparison between the two. As a matter of fact, the only people who made fun of Reno's looks were the talentless asswipes on Saturday Night Live. The right was decent enough not to.

I understand what you're trying to say, but I really don't see it like that.

I contend that most women make fun of her because, A) she's incredibly thin, B) she's prettier and smarter than they are, and C), she's an anti-feminist.

I guess you haven't heard about Bush's "free-speech zones."

Bush Zones Go National (http://www.thenation.com/docprint.mhtml?i=20040816&s=hightower)

At the 2000 GOP nominating convention in Philadelphia, candidate Bush created a fenced-in, out-of-sight protest zone that could only hold barely 1,500 people at a time. So citizens who wished to give voice to their many grievances with the Powers That Be had to:

(1) Schedule their exercise of First Amendment rights with the decidedly unsympathetic authorities.

(2) Report like cattle to the protest pen at their designated time, and only in the numbers authorized.

(3) Then, under the recorded surveillance of the authorities, feel free to let loose with all the speech they could utter within their allotted minutes (although no one--not Bush, not convention delegates, not the preening members of Congress, not the limousine-gliding corporate sponsors and certainly not the mass media--would be anywhere nearby to hear a single word of what they had to say).

Once ensconced in the White House, the Bushites institutionalized the art of dissing dissent, routinely dispatching the Secret Service to order local police to set up FSZs to quarantine protesters wherever Bush goes. The embedded media trooping dutifully behind him almost never cover this fascinating and truly newsworthy phenomenon, instead focusing almost entirely on spoon-fed soundbites from the President's press office.

Left wingers are by definition, more tolerant than right wingers. That doesn't mean they will tolerate anything. Some stupidity is just too great to be left unchallenged.

Yet as Chris Matthews pointed out this week, the Bush administration has called his producers and the network and tried to get the editorial content of his show changed. As much as he badmouthed The Clinton administration, he admitted they never tried to do such a thing.

*non-faith* is the defacto condition of homo sapiens. Having *non-faith* is akin to possessing the breathing reflex. When you are born, it comes standard.

Sadly, you missed the message behind that rather beautiful quote. In a reasonable mind, the concepts of faith and critical thinking aren't at odds with one another. At all, actually. OTOH, feel free to wear your pocket protectors and push those taped glasses further up your nose all you want while proclaiming "there's no proof of faith in science, hence I've concluded the indoctrinated masses have undergone a form of brainwashing in which they've made a conscious choice to abandon reason and rationality for their beliefs".

Well, Poindexter, you may be right. You can't prove faith, but it exists in the human heart as a fundamental part of who we are. There's an internal compass inextricably linked to the concept of it; for example, faith in mankind, faith in love, faith in doing what's right, and faith in your wife.

Fundamentally, something's missing in your life to make you such an embittered, godless cynic. I don't like organized religion one bit more than you do (as a matter of fact, I fucking hate it with a passion), but with that said, you're a sad man to dismiss the concept entirely because we can't "prove" it scientifically.

Take the blinders off, dude. That's a pretty black & white world you're living in.

Ok.

But I don't wear glasses or a pocket protector.

You can't prove faith, but it exists in the human heart ...

The human heart has no synaptic connections.

...as a fundamental part of who we are.

I do not agree that "faith" is a fundamental part of the makeup of homo sapiens.

The sort of religious "faith" that we are speaking of here is, at the root of it, a belief in the supernatural.

And belief in the supernatural is a form of mental imbalance.

...I don't like organized religion one bit more than you do (as a matter of fact, I fucking hate it with a passion), but with that said, you're a sad man to dismiss the concept entirely because we can't "prove" it scientifically.

It does not take a *sad* man to dismiss it, but a rational one.

...Take the blinders off, dude. That's a pretty black & white you're living in.

Those with "faith" are the ones wearing (self imposed) blinders. And my worldview is the antithesis of a *black and white* viewpoint. The world is full of endless shades of gray.

Here's another gem from Ms. Coulter. That anyone actually sticks up for this bigoted bitch is astounding.

Coulter: We want 'Jews to be perfected'

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Conservative commentator and best-selling author Ann Coulter may find herself in the midst of a controversy for comments Monday suggesting America would be better if everyone was Christian.

Asked by CNBC host Donny Deutsch what the U.S. looks like in her dreams, Coulter said it would look like the Republican National Convention in 2004

"People were happy,” she said, according to a transcript provided to CNN by CNBC. “They're Christian. They're tolerant. They defend America."

When Deutsch responded, "It would be better if we were all Christian?" Coulter said "Yeah."

Deutsch, himself Jewish, continued to press Coulter on her remarks, asking, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians then?"

"Yeah," Coulter responded, adding "Well, it's a lot easier. It's kind of a fast track."

"You can't possibly believe that," Deutsch responded. “You can’t possibly. You’re too educated.”

"Do you know what Christianity is?" Coulter replied. "See, we believe your religion, but you have to obey. We have the fast track program."

Later in the interview Deutsch asked Coulter if she doesn't want any Jews in the world, Coulter responded, "No, we think — we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say."

"Wow, you didn't really say that, did you," Deutsch said.


"Yeah, no,” Coulter replied. “That’s what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. You have to obey laws. We know we're all sinners."

Deutsch said he was personally offended.

"No. I'm sorry. It is not intended to be," she said. "I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews. We believe the Old Testament. As you know from the Old Testament, God was constantly getting fed up with humans for not being able to live up to all the laws. What Christians believe — this is just a statement of what the New Testament is — is that that's why Christ came and died for our sins. Christians believe the Old Testament. You don't believe our testament."

Deutsch continued to call Coulter's comments anti-semetic.

"No, no, — I don't want you being offended by this," she responded. "This is what Christians consider themselves, because our testament is the continuation of your testament. You know that. So we think Jews go to heaven. I mean, [the late Rev. Jerry] Falwell himself said that, but you have to follow laws. Ours is "Christ died for our sins." We consider ourselves perfected Christians. For me to say that for you to become a Christian is to become a perfected Christian is not offensive at all."

"I don't think you should take it that way, but that is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews."Does this mean Muslims are perfected Christians?

According to Islam, both Jews and Christians got it almost right. The Jews' only mistake, supposedly, is thinking of themselves as God's chosen people. Christians made the mistake of, essentially, deifying the messenger. Muslims are very careful not to let anyone think of Mohammed as divine, because the only God is Allah.

I suppose Muslims think of themselves as "perfected Jews" more than "perfected Christians".

“They're Christian. They're tolerant. "

I do agree that MOST christians are tolerant people (probably the most tolerant of ALL religions expect maybe Hindu -who knows..)

But they way she put it, is an oxymoron. Basically "if we we were ALL christians then we would be tolerant"

By the way, what is "perfected"?

Yeah. That is patently untrue. In fact, within 20 years of the legalization of Christianity (with the Edict of Milan), the Nicaean Creed was written, setting down the orthodox beliefs of "official" Christianity. That, of course, opened the door for Orthodox Christians to start persecuting other Christians (Gnostics, Arians, Monophysites, etc.), and persecute they did. Christians have continued to hate other Christians up to this day (think the split between Eastern and Western churches, the Protestant Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, persecution of Puritans, Baptists, Catholics, etc. depending upon who was in power at the time, and of course most recently the conflicts in Ireland between Catholics and Anglicans.)

My boyfriend's parents are Methodist and Episcopalian, and he says his grandparents didn't even want them to get married. They're both Christian, and both Protestant even... I don't see the point.

Correct.

As evidenced by Ms Coulter herself, it is a religion rife with hatred for "the other".

________________

Now to the root of the matter. The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved --Judaism, Christianity, Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal --God is the omnipotent father-- hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates. The sky-god is a jealous god, of course. He requires total obedience from everyone on earth, as he is in place not for just one tribe but for all creation. Those who would reject him must be converted or killed for their own good. Ultimately, totalitarianism is the only sort of politics that can truly serve the sky-god's purpose. Any movement of a liberal nature endangers his authority and that of his delegates on earth. One God, one King, one Pope, one master in the factory, one father-leader in the family home. ___________Gore Vidal
