Great Ann Coulter Quote today about Brit Hume's statements

Ann Coulter's article today on the liberal reaction to Brit Hume's comment on Fox New Sunday was inspiring...as was Brit Hume's gutsy statement to begin with. But one of her quote's just made me laugh out loud. What religion -- what topic -- induces this sort of babbling idiocy? (If liberals really want to keep people from hearing about God, they should give Him his own show on MSNBC.)
I do not know how to feel about Brit Hume's comments because I am conflicted myself that maybe he did not pick the right "time, place, and manner" to say what he said. I say that because I feel protective of intellectual people like him who believe in God. I care about his credibility and do not want him marginalized for making the statement. But really what he did was brave and came from the most honest place in himself and I have never admired someone more. Those few sentences revealed all I needed to know about his own journey. As soon as I heard it I was reminded that the suicide of his own son had brought him to God, and it made me tear up. Because that is how it is suppose to work isn't it? Out of his own loss his own suffering - he found his way again and he was better for it. He reminded me that Good, intellectual people who "have it all" need God too, even though everything else tells us its not so. Brit Hume did something I know I could never have done given the same opportunity under the same circumstances. I admire him because Brit Hume is a man of great respect in a hard profession. It is difficult enough to get men to go to church with their wife and kids...most churches were started and run by women and make up the population of most churches today...even though men remain the leadership in most churches. And here was a MAN on TV with no one putting him on the spot to say what he said and he did it anyway - even though "they" were going to make fun of him - he had to know that - and he did it anyway. I think I have just witnessed an example of a true "disciple" - and my ears cannot believe it. I hope he never regrets what he said...even if time shows it would have been better he never said it. I am in awe.

Lone Ranger said...: I totally forgot to read Ann's column this week.

I was shocked when Britt Hume said that. If there's any way to attract the ridicule of left-wing bigots, bringing up Christianity is it. That's why I seldom take a position from a religious viewpoint. Liberals can "win" the argument (they argue, they don't debate)by simply saying they don't believe in a bearded white guy who lives in the sky.

Hume's remarks were surprising because they seemed so out of place.; 3:30 AM
Mark said...: Tonto, you are absolutely right, of course. We heard the statements, and they went in one ear and out the other. I had not considered the long term ramifications of Hume's statement. Possibly because his statement was so obviously common sense. Most regular people believe and understand it. There is, to us, no controversy here.

Perhaps that's why I can never be a Liberal.; 8:56 AM

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.
