Heartless: The Church of Conservatism

Originally posted on June 8, 2006

Okay, most conservatives I personally know aren't heartless. Just like most liberals I know aren't. It’s just a parodied version of Ann Coulter’s new book, ‘Godless: The Church of Liberalism’. The title for this blog entry is well earned regarding a disgusting remark she made recently toward some of the political activists whose husbands died on September 11, 2001 in the terrorist attacks. Clearly, she is far too biased for her own good. I don’t think too much of Hilary Clinton either, even after she tried to add some character to herself after blasting Coulter. Sort of an odd egg if you ask me.

Yes, I do have my bias just like everybody does. Though, I do my absolutely best to keep it out of the way when I make my political commentaries and I put my personal feelings into it instead. That’s something Ann Coulter has failed to demonstrate, she absolutely refuse to see a single positive aspect about any other political philosophy other than conservatism. As a person, I believe there are positive and negative aspects in all liberalism, conservatism, libertarianism and more. For me, I’ll call it Banjoism. The philosophy is, I believe in what I believe, it’s that simple.

It's a matter of far the extremism goes on both sides of politics. For example, Alan Hevesi, the NY State Comptroller a while ago said to a bunch of college grads that he would “put a bullet between the President’s eyes” if “he could get away with it”. It was incredibly moronic of him to say such a thing. Even with his public apology, it was still quite damaging to his reputation. With his political agenda toward gun control; you would think he’d know better than to make such a comment to the public. Personally, I think he should resign; no politician should ever make a hint at wishing death upon the others. In fact, isn’t it a felony to wish death upon a president? A person can be jailed for up to ten years for making such a threat.

Ann Coulter, recently made an appearance on NBC’s ‘Today’ to promote her new book, ‘Godless: The Church of Liberalism’. She’ll do anything to make a quick buck these days and using ‘shock’ tactics can either work or backfire. In many cases, it works for her, as it will quickly become controversial leading to a spike in copies sold. Ann Coulter may have a lot of good points to offer on some subjects, but must the sheep always gleefully nod in agreement with everything she says on the television? No, you don’t have to. You are your own person with the ability to form your own opinions and stand up for what you believe in. It’s not the point she was trying to make; it’s her lack of decency that is causing the nasty backlash from the liberals, moderates and quite a good amount of the conservatives.

What I cannot believe is how many people are coming to her defense. It was dead-on obvious that Ann Coulter lack humanity in her character. She claims to be a Christian, but she acts in a quite unconvincing way for a Christian. I know this myself because I am a Christian and I was taught to never hurt people for political purposes. If Ann Coulter wants to talk about morals, she should at least practice it herself.

She said this on NBC’s ‘Today’, "I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.” How can this remark be ever justified? You cannot defend this. It’s different when you criticize a person for their political beliefs, but it is crossing the line when you are using their own family against them. Especially when they are dead. Never, never in my life have I used the death of someone against a person for political purposes.

I don’t believe in using death as a political tactic. Period. However, I will express my feelings toward world issues involving deaths in wars, poverty, genocide and more. They are not political; they are my personal feelings.

Ann Coulter is all about politics. Nothing more. She’s just doing this to make an extra million dollar. Such a shameful display of greed, she’s using all of her followers to turn a profit. It’s such a shame that some of these people have blinders on and aren’t even aware that they are being used to make her richer when she really don’t give a single crap about them. She just wants to make money, and that’s why she resorts to the ‘shock’ tactics.

Sorry folks, but it’s my personal opinion of her. A person with such weak humanity doesn’t settle too well with me when it comes to him/her being the ‘voice’ of a country. A country cannot be considered a great nation if it lacks humanity.

They are picking the wrong ‘voice’ to speak for them. At least, that’s what I believe and I am deeply concerned about it. Picking the wrong ‘voice’ to represent your country can be a grave danger to your welfare and the principles the country was built on.

They have the freedom to make their own choices. They often forget one thing; they usually come attached with consequences.

Just think about it. Is this what you really want for yourself and your country?
