Coulter always gloms onto things that she thinks will win her support from the conservative base. Everything for her is a black/white good/bad issue. But plenty of Democrats do go to church, and a lot of Republicans and Libertarians don't. There are agnostic or atheistic conservatives and religious liberals. Life is complicated like that, and not everyone lives in a knee-jerk world.

What Ann's doing isn't so different from how those kids behave who'll tell you that you have to think Mumia innocent and a victim if you believe in civil rights. They don't think that people can make up their own minds about a particular controversy based on the facts at hand. Everything has to be part of one global mentality or another. It's the same way with Ann.

But Coulter sometimes has the opposite affect on people than she intends. When she jumps on board one side of a controversy, some people jump off -- not necessarily because they're liberals, but because they don't like being browbeaten into this or that position.

Or maybe it's something she believes.
