Three enormous cheers for Ann Coulter and Human Events Magazine (I worked for them twenty years ago hosting a radio show called “Dateline Washington: News and Commentary from Human Events”) for their heroic stand declaring Roy Moore, “Man of the Year.”
In sharp contrast, WORLD Magazine thumbed their nose at Moore and selected as “Daniel” of the Year, Dr. Philip Johnson, for his work in the field of “Intelligent Design” (a philosophy which believes that atheism is wrong, but the Bible must not enter into scientific discussions). Johnson is a man who is on record advocating (a) the belief that God may have used evolution to create the world; (b) belief in billions of years; and (c) worst of all — he has repeatedly apologized for the Gospel by insisting that neither Jesus nor the Bible have any proper place in the public scientific discussion over origins. The decision by WORLD was sadly consistent with their philosophy of pluralism and cultural surrender which was brazenly heralded throughout their “Daniel of the Year” edition. Stay tuned for more in-depth analysis...
In the meantime, I want to treat you to some nuggets from Miss Coulter’s outstanding essay, found at www.HumanEventsOnline.com:
...Only the attack on Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s Ten Commandments got national attention. And it was a newsworthy event: When liberals attacked, Moore didn’t fold...
A lot of conservatives said Moore was wrong to refuse to comply with the court’s idiotic ruling. Conservatives keep trying to play fair in the faint hope that, someday, liberals will play fair too. Note to conservatives: That will never happen. The conservative argument for enforcing inane court rulings is that the only other option is anarchy. But we are already living in anarchy. It’s a one-sided, Alice-in-Wonderland anarchy in which liberals always win and conservatives always lose — and then cheerfully enforce their own defeats. Oh, you see an abortion clause in there? Okay, I don’t see it, but we’ll enforce it. Sodomy, too, you say? Okay, it’s legal. Gay marriage? Just give us a minute to change the law. No prayer in schools? It’s out. Go-go dancing is speech, but protest at abortion clinics isn’t? Okie-doky. No Ten Commandments in the courthouse? Somebody get the number of a monument removal service. What passes for “constitutional law” can be fairly summarized as: heads we win, tails you lose. The only limit on liberal insanity in this country is how many issues they can get before a court. If a federal judge can issue an opinion premised on the finding that Chief Justice Moore is “Congress,” why can’t Moore, in his capacity as “Congress,” tell the judge he’s impeached? But we can’t do that, conservatives say, because that’s not really what the liberals mean. And if we don’t give liberals everything they want, when they want it, it will lead to anarchy...
Apparently the only thing standing between a government of laws and total anarchy is the fact that conservatives are good losers. If we don’t obey manifestly absurd court rulings, the argument goes, then liberals won’t obey court rulings when they lose. Point one: They almost never lose. Point two: They already refuse to accept laws they don’t like. They do it all the time — race-discrimination bans, bilingual education bans, marijuana bans. If you don’t let them win every game, they walk off with the football...
...But if I were a man rather than part of the frivolous, nonproductive chattering class, Roy Moore is the man I’d like to be. He lost his judgeship because he did what was right. He took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to uphold whatever blather a liberal judge manages to put on paper. He followed the real law, not liberals’ make-believe law. He put principle above his personal interest or comfort. He was actually brave — and this is the only newspaper in the country that will say so. The Ten Commandments monument was removed, but this time, not without a fight.
