Interview Aptly Done on 6-6-'6

For the full story on Ann Coulter's most recent appearance on the today show, head over here.

While there's obviously a lot about her book and her viewpoint I disagree with, there's only one thing I want to wax poetic on here (and frankly, I'm thankful our free speech applies to her as well; it's unfortunate she seems so unwilling to hear the frank responses she's given over her use of it).

From page 7 of her latest book:

"Environmentalists' energy plan is the repudiation of America and Christian destiny, which is Jet Skis, steak on the electric grill, hot showers, and night skiing."

Wow. Seriously, I'll give major brownie points to anyone who can show me Biblical proof that the Christian destiny involves any of these material rewards, even metaphorically. Where in the Bible does it say that the meek shall inherit the earth and the righteous shall be given unlimited lift tickets for Shasta Ski Resort?

Whatever your religion, bless you for it. While I'm agnostic, I'm inclusive. Are there seriously any Christians out there who think Coulter isn't being sacriligious and/or hypocritical when she makes statements like this and (regarding 9-11 widows) "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis. I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much" [p.103] as well as any number of the other hare-brained things she writes?

LOL... I find it funny that I did MY quote from her book here before reading YOUR quote from her book here, even though you did it a day earlier.

I guess she's going for "Manifest Destiny" I mean the settlers took the land away from the Indians not because it was in the bible... but we were COMMANDED to "Be fruitful and multiply" which meant taking land... which lead to "Manifest Destiny" The white U.S. must take land from the 500 Nations because it is "OUR MANIFEST DESTINY" to stretch from coast to coast.

So maybe the beast needs Jet Skis, Steaks on the electric grill, hot showers, and night skiing to land herself a man.
Actually come to think of it, the Beast isn't doing her job as a PRE PREGNENT woman of trying to be fruitful and multiply as there is no Mr. Beast.

For "pre pregnent" see the following link.
