Coulter: Abortion is Dems' Version of 'Virgin Sacrifice'
By Staff
CNSNews.com
June 06, 2006
(CNSNews.com) - In Ann Coulter's latest book, she asserts that
"liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as
'religion,'" including a creation mythology (evolution), priests
(public school teachers) and a holy sacrament (abortion).
"Godless: The Church of Liberalism," is the fifth book written by the
best-selling author and commentator. "Godless" hits store shelves on
June 6, 2006 (6/6/06, a date she deliberately chose since the numbers
correspond to the mark of the beast.)
Cybercast News Service interviewed Ann Coulter about her book. Our
questions and her replies are published here, in their entirety.
Cybercast News Service: During his May 10 appearance on the "700 Club,"
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said: "One of the
misconceptions about the Democratic Party is that we're godless and
that we don't have any values. The truth is we have an enormous amount
in common with the Christian community, and particularly with the
evangelical Christian community." How would you respond to his
statement?
Ann Coulter: Who knew Howard Dean had a sense of humor?
Cybercast News Service: Do you think U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and
U.S. Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) will ever admit they were wrong for
claiming in September 2004 that President Bush had a "secret plan" to
reinstate the military draft after the presidential election? Or does
their military service insulate them from having to apologize?
Ann Coulter: Excellent question! No.
Cybercast News Service: In your book, you state: "If you gave all the
money in the United States to the public schools, they would not
improve; they would simply cost more." Can you envision any federal
attempt to improve education at the local level that would be
effective?
Ann Coulter: Yes, abolish the Department of Education and bring RICO
suits against the teachers' unions.
Cybercast News Service: Most people consider evolution to be a branch
of science, or at least a scientific theory, yet in "Godless," you
refer to it as a "cult" and a "fetish." What is your basis for calling
it that?
Ann Coulter: There is no evidence that it is true. The fossil record
contradicts it, and it is a theory that cannot be disproved. Whatever
happens is said to "prove" evolution. This is the very definition of a
pseudoscience, like astrology. (Of course, I would say that. I'm just a
Capricorn, aren't I?)
Cybercast News Service: Creationism is not considered a science because
it can't be observed or empirically tested. You assert in your book
that the theory of evolution has the same problems. Why then has the
U.S. public school system been willing to accept the theory of
evolution, but snubbed creationism?
Ann Coulter: Because evolution is the official state religion. Although
it is possible to believe in God and evolution, it is not possible to
not believe in God without believing in evolution -- otherwise,
atheists have no explanation for why we are here. Thus, it's very
important for the liberal clergy to force small school children to
believe in a discredited mystery religion from the 19th century --
evolution -- in order to prepare them to believe in the nonexistence of
God, one of the main goals of the American public education system.
Cybercast News Service: Al Gore and others assert that the recent rash
of destructive hurricanes, tornadoes, snow storms, heat waves, etc. are
by-products of "global warming." Many in politics and the media also
believe that "global warming" is indisputably threatening our future.
Has the political Left won the debate over "global warming," or is
there any way to persuade the majority of America that we're not
burning up?
Ann Coulter: The Left will have won the debate on global warming when
the American people agree to give up their cars, their commercial air
travel and their manufacturing jobs. You let me know when that happens,
OK?
As I said in Slander, the reason "global warming" has become such a
burning issue for liberals is that this time we can't prove them wrong
for a thousand years. They were wrong about the Rosenbergs, wrong about
Alger Hiss, wrong about McCarthy, wrong about the Cold War, wrong about
Reagan, wrong about welfare reform, wrong about tax cuts, wrong about
Clinton, wrong about Ayatollah Khomeini -- wrong about everything. With
global warming, they finally have an issue to be hysterical about that
we won't be able to prove them wrong for a thousand years!
Cybercast News Service: What do liberal environmentalists have against
toilets that use water?
Ann Coulter: They admire the living situation of the earthworm and
believe humans should emulate it.
This is why they adore primitive societies where people crap in holes
behind their mud huts. They pray that these primitives never leave the
mud huts -- unless it's to come clean their designer spa bathrooms "off
the books."
Cybercast News Service: Do you think any of them has ever used the type
of dry toilet that they advocate?
Ann Coulter: Well, that would certainly explain why they're so cranky
all the time. Dry toilets are worthless. You can't even use them to
destroy a copy of the Koran. And believe me, I've tried.
Cybercast News Service: Why do you consider abortion the holiest
sacrament of the liberal "religion"?
Ann Coulter: It's their version of virgin sacrifice. The Democrats will
betray any special interest group -- except the pro-abortion ladies. If
you mean why is it the holiest sacrament of the liberal religion, it is
because they think if women have access to easy abortions, they can
engage in carefree trysts without consequence.
Cybercast News Service: Do you think Democrats will ever nominate a
presidential candidate who's considered pro-life?
Ann Coulter: Sure, right after they invent a time machine and nominate
a Democrat who can be trusted on national defense.
Cybercast News Service: Please compare the success between adult
stem-cell research and research using embryonic stem cells. What does
this show about liberals' attitude toward science?
Ann Coulter: The difference in their success is roughly equivalent to
the difference in success between the computer and the flushless
toilet. Adult stem cells have been used to treat more than 80 diseases.
Embryonic stem cells have cured nothing -- they have never, ever been
tried in one human clinical trial. The embryonic stem cell debate is a
fraud to lure Americans into ceding ground on human experimentation.
Cybercast News Service: What advice would you give Tony Snow on
handling the media now that he's the new White House press secretary?
Ann Coulter: Make sure Helen Thomas passes through a metal detector.

I read her bio and it says nothing about any biology degree.

After reading a little more, I think that any real man would split this
skinny little ***** in two.
What absolute *****-stain this "person" is.

Some random points:
Okay, so Buddhism isn't a religion. The jury is out as to whether
Islam (the Sunnis, at least, have no formal clergy, and its creation
account is at least very vague) is a religion. Is Coulter implying
that fundamentalist Christianity isn't really a religion, or that
creationism is a mythology? As I recall, she used to think more
clearly than this.
Evolutionary theory doesn't cover huge swaths of "creation," such as
the origin of the universe, the origin of life itself, or the origin of
the particular culture that produced the account.

Cybercast News Service: Most people consider evolution to be a branch
of science, or at least a scientific theory, yet in "Godless," you
refer to it as a "cult" and a "fetish." What is your basis for calling
it that?
Ann Coulter: There is no evidence that it is true. The fossil record
contradicts it, and it is a theory that cannot be disproved. Whatever
happens is said to "prove" evolution. This is the very definition of a
pseudoscience, like astrology. (Of course, I would say that. I'm just a
Capricorn, aren't I?)
Most scientists are rather leery of the word "proof," which is strictly
applied to the work of geometers and distillers. Of course, if
evolutionary theory is correct, then it would be said that whatever
actually happens supports (not "proves" in the sense of a mathematical
proof) evolution. But all sorts of imaginable happenings would
contradict evolution: discovering that humans shared certain
pseudogenes with dogs and horses, but not with other primates, or
rabbit fossils in the PreCambrian, or fossils of organisms like
centaurs.
The fossil record shows a succession of fauna from those very unlike
modern forms to those very like modern forms, with transitional fossils
between primitive groups and modern groups. Stephen J. Gould's
favorite example was whale transitionals; for decades creationists
crowed over the absence of such transitionals, or any sign of fossil
land mammals with clear avian affinities. Then, over the course of a
few years, _Pakicetus_ (a hoofed land carnivore with teeth and inner
ears like those of primitive whales), _Ambulocetus_ (an animal suited
for a partially aquatic, partially terrestrial lifestyle), _Dorudon_
(an early whale with hind limbs), and others. Further details could be
cited (e.g. hominin skulls which straddle any dividing line one might
wish to draw between human and ape "kinds").
Cybercast News Service: Creationism is not considered a science because
it can't be observed or empirically tested. You assert in your book
that the theory of evolution has the same problems. Why then has the
U.S. public school system been willing to accept the theory of
evolution, but snubbed creationism?
Creationism used to make testable assertions (e.g. that there would be
human fossils and artifacts under the lowest level of the Mesozoic
sediments, which were assumed to have been laid by Noah's flood), but
these were falsified with such regularity that creationists gave up on
them. Evolution does make testable predictions: e.g. if humans and
macaques share versions of the GULO pseudogene, chimps and gorillas
should have it also, and it should be more similar between humans and
chimps than between either species and monkeys).
Ann Coulter: Because evolution is the official state religion. Although
it is possible to believe in God and evolution, it is not possible to
not believe in God without believing in evolution -- otherwise,
atheists have no explanation for why we are here. Thus, it's very
important for the liberal clergy to force small school children to
believe in a discredited mystery religion from the 19th century --
evolution -- in order to prepare them to believe in the nonexistence of
God, one of the main goals of the American public education system.
It is perfectly possible to have questions with no answers to them.
Refuting evolution would not constitute evidence for creation or God.
Note that there are creationists who are also geocentrists: they feel
that science degenerated into an anti-Christian mystery religion long
before Darwin, when Copernicus's theories were accepted in preference
to the clear biblical teachings of an unmoving Earth. Clearly,
therefore, astronomy classes are an attempt to demonstrate the
nonexistence of God.

If Coulter, Limbaugh, and O'Reilly are the intelligentsia of the
Republican party, it is no surprising the country is getting the the
current results.
