Moses had to grab Jews by the scruff of their necks and drag them to the desert for 40 years to get a generation capable of living in freedom -- and even then the Jews were complaining about it being too drafty. The first "stiff-necked" generation didn't even want to leave Egyptian captivity.ee food back in Egypt. Kind of reminds you of liberals talking about Saddam's rape rooms.I think the point is that just like the Hebrews missed the food they got back in Egypt, we American Liberals miss getting raped in Saddam's rape rooms.
Once free, they complained about the food, which apparently compared unfavorably to th
I for one don't miss getting raped in Saddam's rape room. Actually I found that most unpleasant. Wait, I'm thinking of eating at Arbys. I never was raped in Saddam's Rap Rooms. Why I'll bet most liberals weren't raped in Saddam's Rape Rooms.
Coulter wants to pretend that we Liberals miss Saddam, which is in fact not the case. She compares Americans and specifically American Liberals to the Israelites being led around in the desert. Again, it's a strained metaphor. The stress we liberals undergo is the stress of watching our relatives and countrymen dying in an unjust war, and contemplating the suffering of the Iraqi people that has been caused in our name. It's called compassion.
Ironically compassion is also taught by the Passover, as witnessed by Deuteronomy 10:19. "Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt."
This is not a biblical virtue of much interest to Coulter, who spends the first part of her article mocking the Genocide in Darfur and those who find it appalling.
These people can't even wrap up genocide. We've been hearing about this slaughter in Darfur forever -- and they still haven't finished. The aggressors are moving like termites across that country. It's like genocide by committee. Who's running this holocaust in Darfur, FEMA?I was a stranger in Egypt (metaphorically not literally) and so I can't stand aside and see the slaughter in Darfur or in Iraq without wanting to help. Ann Coulter has apparently never been to Egypt; I suspect she's been hanging around Babylon.
Oh and she's nuts too, in case I didn't mention that earlier.
