Simple answers to simple questions: Oct 12, 2007.


Blogging Tory Raphael asks:

I see a few Blogging Tories are quick to defend Ms.Coulter with her virulent and lunatic statements which have now culminated in outright outlandish xenophobia. Damian first sensibly called her out for her outrageous suggestion that Christians are "perfected Jews". Is this the kind of person "conservatives" admire?

Answer: Yes.

This has been another installment of "Simple answers to simple questions."

THE JOY OF RIGHT-WING SEMANTICS: Over at Little Green Fascists, they're all excited about exposing that pernicious, liberal media bias:

Notice that they directly quote Coulter as saying:

...America would be better off if Judaism were “thrown away”...

But if you read the transcript, you’ll discover that Coulter never said this.

Donny Deutsch did, however.

Why, yes, let's go to the transcript, shall we?

Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?" She responded: "Yeah."

All right, then ... for a minute, we all thought Coulter had said something hideously offensive and insulting. It's a good thing Fox News was there to clear things up. What would we do without them?

Too bad RA's post had to be soiled by Brian Lemon's assertion tbat "She's an idiot - a Conservative Al Francken (sic)."

It just never ends with these dolts. No matter how hateful and ignorant a self-described conservative is, it's always a manifestation of some liberal/lefty perfidy.

I don't think Al Franken, in his entire career, has said anything as boneheaded as what Coulter says every minute of the day. Yet somehow, in the cesspit of Brian Lemon's mind, they're equivalent?

While Christianity in its first iteration was an open religion, Christianity, under the guidance of the Reformed Churches, has become an exclusive religion, in the sense that anyone who is not a Reformed Protestant is excluded from the definition of "us," "man," humanity," "American" or "Canadian" even. It is not good enuff to explain that Ms. Coulter was only articulating Christian Doctrine when she articulates it in a manner that excludes the "imperfect" — and we're not only talking about Jews here — from "the better part" of society. It was precisely this determination of Reformed Protestants to marginalize people who disagreed with them that led to the adoption of the "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion, or restricting the free exercise thereof . . ." amendment.

By the way, the ultimately imperfect race is the African race. But the immigrant race is in the running.

This is the reason the perfected class rejects welfare. All we're doing is throwing the taxpayers' money at the imperfect. And that includes you illegal Canadian immigrants too! Don't think we don't know you're here!

They're cracking down on that. The last (and perhaps final) time I went to the US, I decided to take the scenic route and take the train... (big mistake). The US immigration agents threw two people off at the border because their stories about why they were going to the US didn't seem plausible (...I didn't think they were either). First time I ever saw that.

Implausible? Implausible that anyone would want to visit the United States under George W. Bush's occupation of it?
