Celebrating A Season Of Hate
Wow. I had no idea Ann Coulter was so incredibly stupid. Blonde, somewhat attractive in a very cold, stick-figurish way, sort of like a praying mantis. Offensive, grating and hateful. But judging from what I just read on her site, she’s also a raging moron. Which makes it much easier to attack her (read a little of what she has to say; her tenuous grasp on reality and overwhelming hatred for pretty much everything make her very easy to ignore).
“To The People Of Islam:
Just think: If we’d invaded your countries, killed your leaders and converted you to Christianity YOU’D ALL BE OPENING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Merry Christmas”
— Ann Coulter, Hate-whore
Yes, and if a Muslim nation had invaded us, killed our leaders and converted us to Islam, we wouldn’t be opening presents right about now. Raging Ramadan, Ann! So, what is your point, besides that you like to print incredibly stupid things? If that is the only point you were trying to make, then I say “Bravo! You succeeded phenomenally! Why not quote from me next?- I say stupid things all the time and could use the exposure.” If it is not, then you have a serious problem.
Your statement raises an interesting question though: If we did invade all Islamic countries as you seem to be promoting (not going to happen — too many lack oil and are therefore not worth “liberating”, even for Crusaders like you, Bush and Cheney), would the inhabitants really be all that keen on converting to Christianity? It certainly has not played out that way in Iraq. Or does Ms. Coulter have some Great Crusader Secret that will help in the conversion process(beyond kill them all, that is)? Perhaps some secret passed down from generation to generation of spite-filled fascist that will, when revealed, provide the impetus for conversion. If so, hopefully it does not also involve the thus-far unchecked greed, bigotry and rampant corruption that one associates with the Conservative Christian these days. The world really cannot afford more Enrons, more Halliburtons, more Cheneys and Bushes. It could use more Jesuses, however, assuming that Jesus was the man or God the Conservative Christian claims he was with their words but constantly refute with their actions. Tolerance, love, peace, openness and caring would really be nice. I suppose, though, that is what your God is supposed to provide, and in return you provide the world with hatred, intolerance, greed, pettiness and violence. Sweet deal for you, but rather crappy for the rest of us.
What if, as I proposed earlier, the Muslims invaded us and killed our leaders? Would we really be so keen to convert to Islam? Or would we all be a bit bummed? Or how about this? What if we’d been conquered by Buddhists? Would we be celebrating Nirvana, or perhaps our navels? Hardly! We’d be wondering how a bunch of pacifists had kicked our god-fearing asses in a war. Beyond that, we would probably be continuing our lives in some manner as we had before being conquered. If we celebrated Christmas before, we’d be celebrating Christmas now. Why? Because a military defeat does not change who you are. We would celebrate Chrismas, the Buddhist would celebrate his navel, and the Muslim would celebrate Ramadan. Not all at once, perhaps, because then nobody would be available to run the Slurpee machine at the Seven-11 and we’d all starve. A military victory does not convert the faithful of any religion or belief. One that attempts to do so only creates martyrs and a much worse enemy further down the line. So, spew your hate, share your ignorance and glory in your self-righteousness now, because if you have your way, things are really going to get ugly later on. Uglier even than you pre-makeup.
p.s. – What two wars have we won since 9/11? From what our glorious leaders have stated, our invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan are part of the same war on terrorism, which from the mounting body count, we sure as hell have not come close to winning.
