Ann Coulter Links Barack Obama To Terrorism On Fox News



"Faith stopped being used to bring us together, faith got used to bring us apart... faith got hijacked" stated Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Obama goes on to say that the Christian Right has exploited what divides the American people; it has portrayed the Democrats as disliking their values and disrespecting their church while at the same time suggesting that the rest of nation- the "religious" peoples- only care about issues such as abortion, gay marriage, school prayer, intelligent design, etc; he basically accuses the Christian Right if hijacking religion from the Democrats. I actually think that this is a perfect way of describing what is going on in the country. Not all Democrats are not religious, and not all Republicans are religious- and those who are generally care about more issues than what the Christian Right focuses on. He implies that the Christian Right imposes its agenda on the American people and suggests that anyone who disagrees is immoral... from what I have learned in this class about the Christian Right, I would have to agree with Obama. As for Ann Coulter, this lady is ridiculous- she basically implies that Democrats are "Godless," that anyone who is not Conservative should not speak in a church, and that someone with a name such as Obama Hussein should not use "religion" and "hijack" in the same discussion... she is completely narrow minded and absurd, and actually had the nerve to say that the Right's way of going about religion is the correct way. Someone needs to put this lady in her place.
