A couple weeks ago, I picked up Michael Moore’s 2008 Voting Book. After reading it, I decided I really needed to read more Moore!! LOL! (I have seen Fahrenheit 9/11 – - and LOVED it – - not too many surprises; although, the couple things that DID surprise me, just filled in the puzzle of its empty pieces.) The other day, I picked up Stupid White Men and Dude, Where’s My Country?…..and in the same area was Ann Coulter books. I thought to myself: “Self, if you are gonna give Moore the time of day, wouldn’t it be fair to give Coulter the same respect?” And I decided to pick up her book Godless: The Church of Liberalism.

I finished Stupid White Men and had started Dude, Where’s My Country? when I decided to just read a little of Godless. WOW – - Big Mistake!!
Now, I have heard her a couple times on TV – - and like Bill O’Reilly, a little goes a LONG way. In the first two pages I was so irritated that I had to put the book down. Within seconds of putting the book down, I realized that I would NEED to blog if I had any hope of getting to sleep tonight. (How sad is that?)
The offending sentence: “As a matter if faith, liberals believe: Darwinism is a fact, people are born gay, child-molesters can be rehabilitated, recycling is a virtue and chastity is not.” Am I that only one who feels like: 1) The ignorance of this woman is so overwhelming that 2) this drivel was enough to knock the wind clean outta you?

Firstly, I was struck with the word “Darwinism” – - and thought it odd. What does she mean by “Darwinism?” Is she referring to natural selection, evolution, Big Bang? So, I looked it up and according to Wikipedia: “ While the term has remained in use amongst scientific authors, it is increasingly regarded as an inappropriate description of modern evolutionary theory [....] In modern usage, particularly in the United States, Darwinism is often used by creationists as a pejorative term.” Ah Ha! She isn’t referring to a specific scientific study – - she is just trying to “imply contempt.” As she is not trying to pinpoint specific things and only put liberals into some sort of clumpy lump, I suppose I could argue the same thing: All conservatives believe: Creationism and The Flat Earth Theory are fact. Phew, yes, that is much better!
Oh, and as an aside, many people who believe the scientific evidence supporting evolution, do not necessarily “believe” The Big Bang Theory – - they are “open to the possibilities” and will continue to evaluate the scientific information.

Secondly, as with Creationism/Big Bang, Gayness is not KNOWN – - most liberals don’t really care how a person got their gayness – - they just want all people, including gays and conservatives to be treated equally….with the same liberties.

Thirdly, I’m not sure I know any liberals who COMPLETELY support ONLY rehabilitation attempts for child-molesters (CM). I think that most liberals will feel about CM’s the same as they do for most any first offense criminal. The first time should be about “rehabilitation” and allowing everyone one fuck-up – - and cuttin’ everyone a break. But, I don’t know many (liberals or conservatives) who would continue to advocate rehabilitation after the first offense. What about the Pedophilic Catholic Priests? Oh, that’s right, conservatives don’t want to “rehabilitate” those child-lovers – - instead, they will just move them to another child-infested Church.

Fourthly, recycling is a virtue? As opposed to what? Greed? Wastefulness? I think most liberals would be okay with that charge…..LOL!!

Fifthly, a woman who has been engaged several times is touting the virtues of chastity. Seriously? Well, I suppose that it IS possible that she is still a virgin. But, I digress. So, conservatives are a chastity bunch, eh? Do these names mean anything: Eliot Spitzer, Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, Randy Cunningham, Rev. Ted Haggard, David Vitter, Randall Tobias? I think it has less to do with left {wing} or right {wing}- – it has to do with getting’ a nut off. Typically, your leftist will be more “forgiving” because they don’t have the stigma of “perfection” attached to their actions. If a right-wing Conservative has an affair (whether gay or straight), it is INSTANT news….especially if the act happens to come in direct opposition to messages that they have been touting (look specifically at Ted Haggard.) It really wouldn’t surprise me if Ann was cleaning carpet.

Okay, I feel much better now…..thanks for listening!!
