I saw Coulter described as "the Paris Hilton for conservatives."

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann
For the most part, Liberalism is theologically at odds with Christianity. I mean, who are you referring to precisely? Episcopals, Methodists, or Presbyterians?
Listen. punk. My grandmother died of typhoid in China. Presbyterian missionary. My grandfather died of beheading/gunshot in China. Presbyterian missionary. My mom and dad spent three years in a Japanese prison camp in World War II - Presbyterian missionaries. She later caught polio in Japan as a Presbyterian missionary and died when I wes three. My dad came back to the US as a Presbyterian minister and preached for racial equality in 1961 or so in Arkansas. They, by all accounts, were pretty nice folk.
Don't attack other members of your faith who don't seem to you to be as Ideologically Pure (TM) as you are. They just might possibly be Christians, too.

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann
"If liberals cared as much as they do over abortion as they do over recycling, we'd have a pretty good society."
As long as we're wandering around here - does Ms Coulter, or N_J for that matter, give any specifics on this point? How, precisely, would or society be better if we had a couple million more "crack babies" in our schools and labor pool, and several million more kids with teenaged mothers? Is a fourteen-year-old unmarried girl likely to raise as stable a member of society as a somewhat older couple might?

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann
Any Bible scholar could tell you that the tenets of liberalism contrast drastically to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Just read the gospels if you do not believe me.
Hmm. I might suggest that you try reading them. What are those things called again? Beatitudes? They don't resemble Reaganomics much...

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann
So you agree with the premise of eugenics?
I didn't say that, did I? I asked you: "How, precisely, would our society be better if we had a couple million more "crack babies" in our schools and labor pool, and several million more kids with teenaged mothers?"
If you have no answer, just say so. I won't mind.

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann
Being that Reagan respected the Beatitudes and liberals don't, you aren't in the position to try to compare an economic pattern with a moral instruction.
We must be misunderstanding each other here. The Reagan I was referring to is Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the US. Who are you talking about?

Re: How Liberal's react to Ann
Approximately 127,000 people annually adopt children on average in the United States alone; this according to factual statistics.
And there are ten times that figure wanting to adopt? There are about 1.3 million abortions annually in the US, y'know. (88% of them prior to 12 weeks' fetal age, before you bring up "suffering" again.)
