First of all, lets get this straight:“The real sulliers of FR are those that resort to calling names because they are incapable of debating FR members, imagine if they came face to face with Coulter.” You left this part out: Probably pee their pants.
No, I wouldn’t “wet my pants”
You admit you are one of the "real sulliers" with that answer. OK, that's a given anyway.
I chose to use the word “whore” because I think it is metaphorically true. Do I thing Coulter is a “whore” in her personal life...I don’t know or even care.
Yet you called her a slut, which you conviently left out. Which is a comment on her personal life.
Unless she is a metaphoric slut. Try to justify that one "only the truth"...what an ironic name you chose.
Oh and I have never gushed over anyone, on this fourm or in real life. That's not the way I roll
Well you have good bone fides, I will give you that.
Your slection of propler candidates is right on.
But calling Coulter a slut is over the line, and downright trollish behaviour.
“But calling Coulter a slut is over the line, and downright trollish behaviour.”
I do not apologize for calling Coulter a “slut” because I meant it metaphorically in regards to her “loose political morals.” I will apologize for the appearance that I was trying dodge saying it. I consider “slut” and “whore” to be synonymous. I responded to the “sully” remark because I have, on several occassions, said that she “sullies” this forum.
Like I said before, I don’t know what Ms. Coulter is like in her private life and I don’t care.
She trashed Newt recently because she is enamored with Romney. That is what really pushed me to become firmly convinced she isn’t a real conservative, but has been merely assuming a personna to sell books. Plus, I know this is highly debated amoung conservatives, she IMO gave aid and comfort to the homosexual agenda. Thus, I don’t believe she should be given “air time” on this forum.
I do not have a hidden agenda. I am deeply worried about the moral decline of our culture (the repeal of DADT being an example) and also about us becoming vulnerable because of an ever weakening military (at 57 I’m still serving in the Reserve). Most times moral issues are my first concern. However, in this cycle, until Santorum won Iowa, no moral conservative was viable. So, National Security became my front issue. I have watched many of the debates, and Newt seems to be the most capable. I concluded that I would feel safest with Newt and CinC. I still feel that way even though I really like Santorum. Peronally, I think a Gingrich/Santorum ticket would be a winner...it is something I can get behind.
Ann is messing with that....by trashing Newt and blowing the horn for Romney. She needs to be corrected or silenced. Has she gone after Santorum yet? I couldn’t deal with reading her after the Newt thing. BTW - I am NOT a fan of Newt...I just think he is the best choice with the right mix of priorities. Anyway, I want to see the primary stop being such a mess. I want Romney & Paul stopped cold quickly so we can get Mr. Obama out of office.
Until Coulter can get her head on straight, she needs to feel the disdain of conservatives. If we allow her to continue, uncorrected, we harm our own best interests.
FR carries clout. Were she banned from FR, it just might be what it takes to get her either corrected or silenced. That is why I take such a strong stand against Coulter.
Most certainly I have not been as amiable towards you and others on this forum regarding Coulter. That is not something I am glad of. Also, please realize that I find the term “hot” as being vulgar. I read a wonderful editorial by a lady the other day that describes how we have started to show a preference to “hot” over “pretty.” “Pretty” implies attractiveness plus modesty and innocence. “Hot” implies just sexuality, and not in the right expression there of. We need to get back to seeing women(especially the young ones) as “pretty” and not “hot.” Sarah Palin is a “pretty” woman...it degrades her to the level of stripper/prostitute to call her “hot.” Sarah Palin is a virtuous “lady.” IF Ann Coulter is truly “hot, hot, hot” then she is a form of pornography. That is really crude.
“But calling Coulter a slut is over the line, and downright trollish behaviour.”
I am trully sorry to continue to babble. However, I want to make another observation about the use of “Hot” verses “Pretty.”
I’m 57 year old male, and I can see you are near that age or older. In my lifetime, I remember when the term “hot” used in reference to a woman was meaning she was in a state of sexual arousal (as in “hot and bothered”). I won’t belabor that point in detail. However, I am certain you remember this as well as I do. So, every time I hear someone call a woman “hot” it makes me flinch; and not because it causes me to get aroused. Because of my age, it means more in my thinking that saying “attractive” or “pretty.” So, when you posted a picture of you and Ms. Coulter and said she is “hot, hot, hot” it just conjured up a disturbing picture in my mind, and made me question the reason for your “support” of her. I do apologize if using the medically correct name for a male anatomical feature is offensive. I should have said, “you are thinking with your hormones, not your brain” instead. Although, I will say publically, that I don’t believe that was the case anymore, and I do owe you a public apology for denigrating your character.
However, I will not back off of my position that Ann Coulter requires rebuke and correction. I have learned that both you and Jim Robinson personally know Ann Coulter, and consider her a friend. It is hard to have to turn on one’s friends, even when they are wrong (as I KNOW Coulter is), but I will not bother you about it anymore because you have a personal conflict of interests here....that is not meant to be an insult.
