Donald Trump, Ann Coulter, and ‘No Apologies’ Conservatism

National Review ^ | 09/18/2015 | Jim Geraghty

“Trump’s steadfast refusal to apologize for his controversial antics may be the most striking thing about him.”

Yet it’s all cool when the leftists’ god-king does it.

Trying to link Coulter's "f***ing Jews" tweet

to something a member of Trump's audience said

and then pin it on Trump?

Pathetic.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I would not equate the two. Ann thought she was being funny but once again failed. She says she doesn’t need to hear candidates say the regular Republican things. WELL THE REST OF US DO. I want to hear it. I want to hear it over and over and have it be persuasive. We have a whole new generation to educate. It doesn’t hurt to be reminded ourselves. And how else can we spot the frauds.

Ann claims to be the only one who can spot a fraud. Well more and more she looks like a fraud to me.

How many apologies have we gotten out of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
How many out of Obama, Karl Rove or MSNBC.

It appears as a Christian Trump believes that God knows his sins and forgives them. That’s what communion and the cross represents to me.

I would never ever say F***ing Jews. I might say F***ing Moslems (Not saying I would). Just look at the nascent 'clock builder' in Texas, going to the White House.

[Mr. K]

The people "crave" his apology? the ONLY people that crave it are the media, who will then use it against him from then on

"He was FORCED TO APOLOGIZE after...."

[USS Alaska]

A real conservative never says he’s sorry.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Yes, there are some things that you just can’t imagine ever saying. That is one. I can’t even say it to say I won’t say it.

[MarvinStinson]

Yep.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

With Jews it is just that they have been so stunningly persecuted. I do not like liberal Jews but I still would never call them that. I wouldn’t use that first word for any purpose, but especially that.

[MarvinStinson]

WHO IS this Jim Geraghty exactly?

Anyone can see from this he is anti-Trump.

And trying unsuccessfully to connect A to B—by using C.

[Objective Scrutator]

Ann Coulter is a known s***-stirrer, and someone who is in the pocket of the Left.

Donald Trump’s conservatism is in question, but his hatred of liberals is not. Thus, Trump can be of use to the Tea Party. So long as he focuses his cannons on liberals and not on Cruz, we should support him. It is clear that he has steered national discourse in a favorable direction, although whether or not he would make a good President remains to be seen.

The National Review and its writers, on the other hand, only thrived because they sucked the teats of the Left. So long as they attempted to keep conservatives from taking action, they believed their rag would prosper. Now that a new conservative wave has swept America, the NR’s advocacy for inaction is going to get them what they deserve: regelated to a compost with the rest of the Commie publications.

I understand as as Beatrice Evelyn Hall (a Voltaire fan) is supposed to have said - “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” As to Donalds comment, stepping back what he is saying to me is Why do we make so much of peoples Heritage, Specifically those of Jewish "extraction (known between me and my Kosher friends as MOT - Member of the Tribes) As if (Coulter) all of the Evangelicals (Protestant Christians, Hand in the air) do not matter as much as their fellow Monotheistic bretheren who worship the same God but differ on His Son Pandering - pan·der ˈpandər/Submit verb gerund or present participle: pandering gratify or indulge (an immoral or distasteful desire, need, or habit or a person with such a desire, etc.). "newspapers are pandering to people's baser instincts" synonyms: indulge, gratify, satisfy, cater to, give in to, accommodate, comply with "David was always there to pander to her every whim" Jews in America represent by and large Hollywood, Financial and other parts of life but are no more or less important than any other American. To be sure, the linkage between us is based on common Judeo-Christian morals and Ethos, we are a Constitutional Republic unique in all the world. So in closing I am not picking at you, just asking all of us to step back from a tendency to, as I learned at HP was to shoot, shoot, shoot, aim (Compaq) or the HP way, Aim, Aim, Aim, shoot Think more broadly about how we all have been coerced into not speaking the truth and accepting the medias "rules" for how and when to speak. No one can make everybody happy, but none of Us is as good as ALL of US!! You Rock, Lets Roll!

Liberal Jews are only Jews by ancestry, not by culture or values. That makes Coulter’s statement even worse, and is further proof that she suckles at the teats of the Palestinians and the rest of the Islamists. She’s hideous enough to need a burqa, so maybe that’s a reason she does the things she does.

[MeganC]

NEVER apologize to liberals because they are NOT Christians! Christians see a heartfelt apology as an act of contrition and a reason for forgiveness.

Liberals see any apology as a confession of guilt and a justification for the death penalty (which they oppose in cases of murder but approve of when someone is ‘offended’.)

[MarvinStinson]

And what is the National Review?
