Coons: I Will Bring Yale Divinity School Values to Senate (This is MUST reading!)
The American Spectator ^ | 9.27.10 @ 6:09AM | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 09/27/2010 9:45:54 AM PDT by DelaWhere

And what values does Chris Coons insist he will bring to bear on this problem?

The values taught at Yale Divinity School. Values exemplified by the exotic, overripe teachings, readings, preachings, and writings of socialists, Marxists, and camp followers of Liberation Theology who believe in one variation or another that capitalism is immoral, a sin. This includes the one-time Dean Thomas Ogletree and his late writing partner the American Communist Party's Herbert Aptheker, the assigned writings of Liberation Theology's James Cone, Ronald Sider the anti-capitalist Evangelical leftist, and the Brazilian socialist Paulo Freire.

The only YDS graduate I know quit the Jesuits and became professional homo advocate. Even he complained about how strange the place was.

Where’s Captain Obvious? He’ll take his Marxist values, learned at Yale Divinity School, to the Senate. At least he admits it.
It makes that high-school witch story pale in comparison.

He will bring the values of hating big business and hating the white honkies who colonized the pristine, peace loving peoples of the Americas.

In other words, he is a friend of Obama.

....we have “Yale Values” at pretty much every level of our government right now.

And how is that working out?

>>>Bring back HUAC!<<<

I vividly remember that!

Committee would have to replicate itself many hundred-fold to just scratch the surface today.

Televise the whole thing - every channel - people would be in shock.

Maybe then we could have a ‘fresh start’ under the Constitution.

Excellent Read BUMP & PING!!!

.........................................................

Serving in the United States Senate would be a "great way for me to apply the principles and values that were honed at YDS." --Delaware Democrat and U.S. Senate nominee Chris Coons, to the Yale Divinity School Notes from the Quad, September, 2010

"We must attack the materialism of our culture and the maldistribution of the nation's wealth and services…. Before God and a billion hungry neighbors, we must rethink our values regarding our present standard of living and promote a more just acquisition and distribution of the world's resources."

In other words, these would be the values of wealth redistribution and social justice of not only Yale Divinity School and Obama-enthusiast Chris Coons -- but yes indeed, the Obama administration itself.

We could go on and on and on here. There isn't room enough to talk in depth about the values to be found in the mandatory reading that is, say, Indecent Theology. This value driven beauty of a book, according to its reviews, integrates "Latin American liberation theology, feminist theology, queer theology, and other theologies of the poor and oppressed" to emphasize that "all theology is sexual."

And so on.

Are we getting the idea of what kind of values so impressed Mr. Coons at Yale Divinity School? This is a school devoted to the divinity of secular leftist extremism, the philosophical golden calf that is the real God at the center of Yale Divinity School. This is the real core set of values taught to students like Chris Coons.

And Chris Coons is dead serious about bringing these Yale Divinity School values to Washington.

Yikes, this Coons is a real piece of work.

Thanks for the ping, Smooth.
