Coulter began to get my version of the “steely eyeball” back when she said that she wanted to “perfect the Jews”. At the time I thought I understood what I thought she meant but knew this was not an intelligent thing to say. After the last 500-700 years, Christians should speak softly and with large amounts of consideration and compassion when referring to any thing to do with religion. Her willingness to make this statement was to me:
1. an outright ploy for headlines.
2. Injudicious regardless of the reasons.
3. Arrogant.
4. Monumentally stupid.

She only had about 2 nerves left with me and she jumped on both of them with these recent revelations. I don’t like it that you had to do it Charles but (you know how you feel when you get that IRS letter in the mail — you’re not too happy with the mailman) thanks for bringing this up. But for my reading here, I wouldn’t know this and ignorance is NOT bliss.

When I talk to my evangelical relatives I know that they want to “Save” me as part of their Religious dogma. Individually they might have different levels of clarity about what they are asking. It wouldn’t bother me if Muslims wanted to convert me either. The value of religious freedom here is that no one is going to kill me for thinking differently. Ann Coulter has also said she would like to see Iraq converted to Christianity. One would wonder if there is room for compromise?
