Ann Coulter: Americans should be Christian, ‘Jews need to be perfected’

Yet another Conservative demonstrates that Conservatves are as much a threat to America as the Leftists are; this interview is astonishing in how openly, un-appologetically, thuggishly bigotted and anti-reason she is:



Keep in mind this is from a conservative intellectual.

For an opposite view on whether Americans should be Christian, here's Thomas Jefferson:

I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the earth...

Update: deleted one of the quotes since I couldn't verify it's authenticity.

Enviro-libertarians

Consistent with his environmentalist tendencies, Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds goes gaga over leftist environmentalist Amory Lovins:

Instapundit.com

I agree [with Lovins] -- that it doesn't matter whether you believe "peak oil" catastrophe scenarios because you ought to be doing the same thing anyway. Likewise the global warming debate, which I also agree with. "The debate about energy conservation is about costs, but it's not about costs -- everybody who saves energy makes money on it."

This is completely false. It makes no economic sense to incur huge costs to obtain a minimal reduction in energy consumption.

Intellectuals vs. America, yet again

A Chicago Tribune editorialist searches for the great Amercian novel. Among her picks:

I'm momentarily partial to the violent incantations of "American Psycho." Reviled upon its initial publication for its gleeful gore, Ellis' novel about an unrepentant serial killer strikes me these days as witty and knowing. It's filled with brand names and sex and social anxiety ...

The rest of her picks aren't much better.
