Un-Lady Like Conduct
This week, I read about Ann Coulter's crude comments about John Edwards and thought, "I wish some conservative Christian leader would condemn her ungodly behavior." Well, thank God for Al Mohler. His article "Recovering Civility...and Refusing to Deny the Obvious" is worth a read. He takes on Coulter and, while stating his political disagreements with him, honors Edwards' love and commitment to his wife and family.

This woman has always stretched me, and many times, made me frustrated (might even go as far as angry) when I hear her battling on TV. If not so much for her political views, it's exactly for what she does here to John Edwards. It scares me that everyone was "okay" with such conduct. What has this country come to? Reminds me of highschool!

It's to bad that she gets called on this, yet you get people on the left saying similar things (think "Chocolate City" comment by Ray Nagin) and there isn't a peep. At least conservatives and Christians are standing up and calling her on it.

What's even more disturbing is all the people who thought this was hysterical. I wonder how many Christian brothers and sisters in attendance were laughing.

I completely agree. Unfortunately Ms. Coulter has lost sight of her original purpose and has been caught up in the desire for higher ratings, and has thereby become ineffective. I pray that Christian conservatives realize this and ensure that all they do and say - about politics or anything else - is glorifying to God. We are called to be salt and light - not ranting offenders.

I laughed. With conservative christians like Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell, I think conservative christian leaders would be doing everyone a favor by keeping their mouths shut more often. I dont know Coultiers beliefs, but non christians are not christians, and its unfair to hold them to that standard. Doing so comes off as holier than thou and condescending. Most people dont care what good news you have to tell them when they think youre looking down your nose at them.

Jason,
I agree with you that we can't hold non-Christians to biblical standards. But from what I understand Coulter would claim to be a Christian and is often supported by conservative Christians. Hence, I believe it's appropriate to point out where her actions and attitudes don't represent us.
