On Coulter, Christians, And Jews
On Donny Deutch’s television talk show earlier this week, Ann Coulter honestly answered “yes” when asked by Deutch if she believes that this country “would be better if we were all Christian.” She further stated that Christians “just want Jews to be perfected,” i.e., to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. (The full transcript is here .)
Let the outrage begin!
Deutch, a liberal Jew, accused Coulter of making “hateful” and “anti-Semitic” remarks.
Michael Savage, host of one of the most popular conservative talk radio shows, and also a Jew, likewise accused Coulter of anti-Semitism, and called her a “deranged hag” for good measure.
I must say that Savage’s comments surprised me, because he has been one of the strongest voices in recent years against the cult of “political correctness.” And what is Coulter’s crime in this case? Not that she is an anti-Semite. This is absurd. I seriously doubt that either Savage or Deutch truly believes that Coulter “hates” Jews. Rather, Coulter’s crime is that she violated one of PC’s most sacred taboos: Expressing belief in the correctness of one’s religion. The only thing worse than this in PC land is asserting the superiority of one’s race.
Well, at least when it comes to white Christians. For the rules of PC do not apply equally to all. They do not apply to Jews or blacks or women (except to the extent these groups express “conservative” points of view). The strictures and penalties of PC only apply to the majority of the American people, as well as to the Founding Fathers who established this great country, and to the many generations of overwhelmingly white Christian Americans who built this nation into the freest, richest, and most powerful country on earth, and defended our country through several bloody wars against its enemies, foreign and domestic.
The ideology of PC is anti-American to its core. Its fundamental purpose is not to ensure that “minority” Americans share more fully in the American Dream. Its goal is to tear apart this nation—its people, its culture, its history—root and branch, and replace it with a miasma of atheism, socialism, and multiculturalism. To see Michael Savage acting the part of PC police is stunning.[...]
I say, thank god that so many Christians in this country still believe in their religion! That is the only thing that will prevent the violent and tyrannical expansion of the Muslim world. And that is the only thing that will preserve the existence of the Jewish people.

The truth is that the Jews of Europe could not have saved themselves from Hitler’s rampage. Practically every Jew alive today owes his or her existence to the fact that Hitler was defeated by the brave and virtuous troops of the Anglo-American alliance, practically all of whom were Christians too. Could FDR and Churchill and the rest of the western leaders have done more to help the Jews, both before and during the war? Perhaps. (Forget what the Soviets could have done; their moral corruption ran almost as deep as the Nazis’.) But I refuse to play that despicable blame game. I simply am grateful for the good people of this country, who made for my grandparents and parents, and now for me, the best home on earth that Jews have ever enjoyed.

But measured by the amount of heat and vitriol her comments generated, the real enemy apparently is Ann Coulter. How dare she assert the truth of her religion? True or not, I know that Christianity is far preferable to Islam. Would Donny Deutch and Michael Savage and all of the other critics who are blasting Coulter rather live in a Muslim country? One does not have to be a scholar of the world’s religions (and I am not) to know the answer to that question.
[...]
What Deutch and Savage and the other critics fail to understand is that only a Christian people who truly believes in the correctness, indeed superiority, of their religion will be able to win this fight. A secularized people who believes in nothing but watery principles of tolerance and democracy inevitably will succumb to the combination of violent Islamic intimidation and the “nondiscriminatory” imperatives of their own multicultural worldview. If sharia ever does come to the United States, I am quite certain that its handmaidens will be atheists and liberals, not believing Christians.
As a Jew living in this great country, I have no doubt who my enemies are, and who are my allies. And I know to which group Ann Coulter belongs.
Read the whole thing.
The war against the forces that seek to destroy this country, from both the Islamofascists and the neocommunists, won’t be won by the timid, who quail at Ann’s outspokenness.
