Where Ann Coulter Is Viewed As Too Liberal

posted by swaldman | 11:03am Friday April 3, 2009

Conservative pro-life radio show hosts ambush Ann Coulter for supporting Mitt Romney. He is viewed by some religious conservatives as too pro-choice, to pro-gay and too, well, Mormon. She gets quite emotional about the “anti-Romney fanatics.”

Good Bye
Today is my last day at Beliefnet (which I co-founded in 1999). The swirling emotions: sadness, relief, love, humility, pride, anxiety. But mostly deep, deep gratitude. How many people get to come up with an idea and have rich people invest money to make it a reality? How many people get to create

Secularizing the Cross (Christian Activists: Be Careful What You Wish For)
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week, in Buono v. Salazar, about whether a white 6 1/2 foot cross can be displayed in a national park as a tribute to World War I soldiers. Though it's depicted as a classic clash of the secular and the religious, it actually illustrates why Christian act

Romney certainly isn’t pro-choice. Every action he took as governor came down on the side of protecting life. He’s not anti-gay either, only anti-gay marriage. These Huckabee fanatics like Steve Deace and Bill Keller don’t like Romney’s religion, plain and simple. They want to impose a religious test for office, even though the Constitution prohibits it.

“I only want to talk about the book”–big surprise.
Hard to take anyone seriously who says that.

If there is one thing we can thank the Huckabee and the Evangelicals for its poisoning the Republican Party’s well. Kathy hit the nail on the head. Romney could have beat Obama given the economic circumstances, yet a Mormon in office (which seems ok for Democrats and Harry Reid) is intolerable. They would rather the Country be taken over by secularism than have a man of Faith (albeit different than their brand) run things. Romney became the canary in the anti-Mormon mineshaft. I predict that Obama will serve 2 terms only to be followed by another Democrat. It will take a generation for the old Evangelical bigots to die off and the new educated rising generation to save the GOP.

I third Kathy’s comments. The whole “flip-flopper” thing is a strawman argument. Christians especially should agree that people can have a change of heart in their life and believe differently than they had before. Hands down, Romney was the best candidate in the 2008 race; all conservatives can agree that he was by far the most qualified to tackle our current economic crisis. But alas, because of the un-Christian-like hatred of another Christian religion (yes, I said it – the Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints is Christian), Romney was ultimately ostracized and persecuted for his beliefs.

Aww, the Mormons and the evangelicals not getting along after their Prop Straight one-night stand? So sad…

It’s very sad that Romney–the corporate turn-around genius–is doing talk shows and Obama–still in a leftie grad school bubble–is in the White House.
I mostly blame the evangelicals, urged on by Huckabee, for that.
I’m Mormon and for years I’ve read evangelical books and websites without finding much to disagree with, but it’s hard to view them in a friendly way after 2008.

Romney began his political career as a moderate to liberal Republican in the mold of his parents, George and Lenore. George might have been slightly wacky but he was a man of political courage, chastizing his own party for its racism. But now Romney is positioning himself as the most conservative of the conservatives, not really a recipe for success. Obama is off speaking to foreign nations, which he can do easily because he spoke to virtually every part of America as a candidate, while Romney snubbed just about every minority we have in our own country when he was a candidate. Why anyone thinks this one-dimensional man who couldn’t even get to first base last time around would make a good candidate next time is beyond me. And I too am a Mormon!

Did you commentors here at beliefnet even view the Coulter Hang-Ups video before you commented on it? It’s sure hard to imagine that you did. And so, your comments are so off-base and irrelevant to the documented facts in this short video, that you have no credibility.
