Christine O’Donnell Eludes the Evolution trap and Calls Coons a ‘Marxist’ at Debate

Weasel Zippers says: She’s only telling the truth. Coons is a true-believing Commiecrat…







This was a very deft performance by Christine O’Donnell who didn’t fall in the usual Liberal marginalization trap-Do you believe in evolution? I’ve seen Conservatives stumble over this question for years, but O’Donnell brought it to where the issues should be and stayed on message and rightly nailed Coons who is as Far left a candidate as you can get.



Democrat controlled states like California, New York, and Michigan are being run into the ground as a result of their tax and spend policies.



The New York Times reports that Democratic candidate Chris Coons, left, and Republican candidate Christine O’Donnell wait for the start of a televised Delaware Senate debate at the University of Delaware in Newark, Del.



Christine O’Donnell, the Republican Delaware Senate candidate, and her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons, hurled personal attacks at each other in a nationally televised debate Wednesday night.



A feisty, aggressive Ms. O’Donnell called Mr. Coons a Marxist whose beliefs came from a socialist professor and said he would “rubber stamp” the policies of the Democrats in Washington. Mr. Coons raised questions about whether Ms. O’Donnell’s faith would drive her positions on social issues like abortion, prayer and evolution.



Pressed by CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer, Ms. O’Donnell refused to say whether she believed evolution was a myth, saying that “what I believe is irrelevant.” As she did throughout the first half of the debate, Ms. O’Donnell quickly tried to return the focus to Mr. Coons, saying, “I would argue there are more people who support my Catholic faith than his Marxist belief.”



Mr. Coons responded that the source of her charge – an article he wrote as a student – was “a joke” that his Republican friends at the time conceived when he registered as a Democrat.



“I am not now nor have I been anything but a clean-shaven capitalist,” Mr. Coons said.



Ms. O’Donnell entered the debate as the clear underdog in the polls, trailing Mr. Coons by double digits in many polls. Throughout the face-to-face exchange, Ms. O’Donnell was repeatedly on the offensive, hurling charges that Mr. Coons misspent public money as the top official in one of Delaware’s counties.

Far Left Looney Bogger Greg Sargent Smears Christine O’Donnell’s Christian Beliefs on Homosexuality and Pornography

The Leftists cannot defend the Obama agenda on it’s merits because an overwhelming majority of the American people are poised to make their voices heard through the ballot box in November.

So it’s time to crank of the smear machine against Conservatives to divert attenuation away from issues that really matter.

Greg Sargent who runs The Plum Line, one of the most Far Left blogs on the net, made his mud pie contribution by accusing Christine O’Donnell, the Republican candidate for the Senate from Delaware, of believing that homosexuality is a personality disorder.

It makes no difference to Sargent what O’Donnel’s position is on high taxes, Obama’s big spending ways or his failed stimulus package and 10 unemployment.

No, that would be to responsible.

Instead he tries to paint O’Donnell as an “extremists”. The Left loves to the E-word around but never explains how or why a person is extreme.

But Sargent goes further than that. He uses a 2006 profile of O’Donnell to make his accusation when he writes:

This passage from a 2006 profile of Christine O'Donnell in Delaware's Wilmington News Journal may not be conclusive, but it certainly cries out for further exploration:

She considers homosexuality an identity disorder and sees pornography and the lust it engenders as selfish gratification.

"Sex is a covenant between a man and a woman and God," she says. "Your job is to satisfy the other, the giving of oneself to another. Porn turns that around."

He also writes:

At a minimum, though, that is an extreme view, and its appearance next to her name in a reputable paper is grounds to ask whether she really believes this, particularly given the views she's already expressed on related topics.

How can Sargent accuse O’Donnell of believing that homosexuality is a personality disorder when she doesn’t even mention homosexuality in the quote he provides?

And what exactly is extreme in saying that sex is a covenant between a man and a woman and God?

Does Sargent really want to examine God’s role in O’Donnell’s life and what’s written in the Bible about homosexuality or sex or anything else?

I really don’t think so.

What Greg Sargent is simply doing, and quite clumsily at that, is throwing the proverbial spaghetti against the wall and seeing if any of it sticks.

He would go to any length to portray O’Donnell as being something that she’s not to protect his buddies in the Democrat Party that are running this country into the ground.

I wonder if Sarget posed these kinds of questions about Keith Ellison, the Muslim Democrat congressman from Minnesota. Islam has the same view of homosexuality as Christianity, namely that it’s an immoral life style. Has Sargent ever accused Ellison of being an extremist? In fact, in Islamic countries in the Middle East they chop off homosexual’s heads if they’re not in the mood to stone them to death instead.

But, according to Sargent, O’Donnell is the extremist.

Nice try Greg, but stick to writing about something more relevant like Michelle Obama’s arms.

Jim DeMint on GOP: 'I don’t want the majority back if we don’t believe anything' = Conservative Reformation

Sen Jim Demint is one of if not the best conservatives in the senate who is not afraid to stand up for Conservatism-period.

Many GOPers like Karl Rove and others have been exposed as comfortable Washington insider Republicans who don’t want genuine Ronald Reagan conservative (Tea Party) taking over the GOP.

Tough toenails boys and girls because that’s exactly what’s happening and either you get on board or you’ll be kicked to the curb like Mike Castle.

The Hill reports that GOP Sen. Jim DeMint said his party is on track to become stronger ideologically with O'Donnell's win over Castle.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who endorsed Tea Party favorite Christine O'Donnell in Delaware's Republican Senate primary, said he's content with the GOP staying in the minority if the party doesn't stand for any principles.

DeMint's party argued before O'Donnell's victory that she could not win a general election in Delwarare, and polls suggest Democrat candidate Chris Coons will defeat O'Donnell in November.

But DeMint, the leader of the Senate Conservatives Fund, said the GOP was on track to being a stronger party ideologically with her victory.

“I don’t want the majority back if we don’t believe anything," DeMint said on Fox News. "So I think if we want the numbers, if we want the majority, then we’re going to have to stand on some principles that the American people believe in.”

The point is America needs more Jim Demint Republicans (True Conservatives) instead of Lindsey Graham RINOs which is the same thing as an Obama Democrat.

New York Magazine Writer Dan Amira Knocks GOP Delaware Nominee Christine O’Donnell for Not Believing in Evolution

For weeks during the Ground Zero Mosque debate I found it very hypercritical for the Left to scream in favor of “religious freedom” as if they really believed in such a thing.

Well, today the so-called religious freedom fighting Left have reverted back to their old form.

Writer Dan Amira of New York Magazine took a pot shot at recently nominated GOPer Christine O’Donnell for her stance against the theory of Evolution and in favor of Creationism.

What happened to religious freedom when it concerns a Conservative? And why is it a crime not to believe in Evolution?

Concerning her view on Darwin’s theory that is still considered a theory for over 100 years, O’Donnell said this:

CHRISTINE O'DONNELL: Well, as the senator from Tennessee mentioned, evolution is a theory and it's exactly that. There is not enough evidence, consistent evidence to make it as fact, and I say that because for theory to become a fact, it needs to consistently have the same results after it goes through a series of tests. The tests that they put — that they use to support evolution do not have consistent results. Now too many people are blindly accepting evolution as fact. But when you get down to the hard evidence, it's merely a theory. But creation

Now that’s a pretty well reasoned response O’Donnell gives hitting all the points why evolution is still considered a theory instead of a scientific law.

But, Dan Amira who only graduated in 2007 from Union College, obliviously an academic powerhouse, writes the following critique:

“Whoops. Technically, evolution is a theory in the scientific-nomenclature sense, but it's so widely accepted by every legitimate scientist in the world that it is considered fact”

Yes sir, those Union College graduates leave MIT in the dust don’t they?

With analysis like this Amira needs to be the chief admin for NASA!

If this hogwash sounds familiar it’s the same kind of bogus rationale the Left uses to sell the world on Global warming by saying a consensus of scientists believe that it is real.

You don’t arrive at scientific facts by a show of hands!

If I throw an apple in the air, I don’t care if a million of these tree hugging scientists vote that it won’t come down. The LAW of GRAVITY says it will come down every time I throw the apple in the air no matter what country I throw up in.

This is the fallacy of the theory of evolution and it is the reason why it is still called a theory after all these years.

O’Donnell should not be made to look odd for having the constitutional right to believe the way she does.

And Amira needs to get a refund from Union College.

G.O.P. Insurgents Win in Del. and N.Y. Christine O'Donnell Carl Paladino Win Big

The line in the sand was drawn by establishment Republicans in Delaware and they got their butts kicked!

What these GOPers need to understand is that the people want Conservatism more than Republicanism.

The rest of the legacy GOP better get the message which is, “Don’t try and fake the funk!”

Translation?

Don’t give us more Olympia Snow, Susan Collins or John McCain. The people want BOLD COLORS and the Conservative wave is taking over the GOP.

Memo to the Pussies-R-Us

Get you’re ass together or you’ll be ASSED OUT!

The New York Times reports that the Tea Party movement scored another victory on Tuesday, helping to propel a dissident Republican, Christine O’Donnell, to an upset win over Representative Michael N. Castle in the race for the United States Senate nomination in Delaware

Mr. Castle, a moderate Republican who served two terms as governor and had been reliably winning elections for the last four decades, became the latest establishment Republican casualty of the primary election season. Republican leaders said the victory by Ms. O’Donnell complicated the party’s chances of winning control of the Senate.

And in New York, a Tea Party-backed candidate, Carl P. Paladino, defeated former Congressman Rick Lazio, a favorite of Republican party leaders, in the primary for Governor. A Palidino victory will likely send shock waves through the New York Republican Party as it prepares to do battle with Andrew M. Cuomo in the November elections.

Ms. O’Donnell had won the endorsement of Sarah Palin, Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina and other leaders of the party’s conservative wing. The state and national Republican Party mounted an aggressive campaign to defeat her, but it fell short, with Mr. Castle unable to rely on independent voters who have long formed his base of support.

New Member to the Pussies-R-Us: Charles Krauthammer for trashing Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint endorsement of Christine O’Donnell

In June I created a new designation for cowardly Republicans who are afraid to stand up for Conservatism known as Pussies-R-Us.

Well, I think it’s time to expand and also induct commentators, writers, or anyone else besides politicians.

Therefore I’m inducting Charles Krauthammer as the newest inductee to Pussies-R-Us to join charter members John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Mike Pence for this comment he made on Monday.



Charlie, I love you, but you’re missing the boat on this one. It does the Republican Party no good to have Democrat-lite candidates blurring the difference between the Liberal and the Conservative points of view just to get elected.

You’re smarter than, Charlie.

Maybe you had a bad breakfast on Monday and it affected your brain. And instead of misapplying the Buckley rule that says nominate the most electable Conservatives in a given geographical area, Ronald Reagan said the party needs to offers BOLD COLORS, not pale pastels.

Membership in Pussies-R-Us isn’t a permanent thing. A member can be released from membership upon growing some balls.

UPDATE: Christine O'Donnell Defeats Mike Castle in Delaware Primary for Repub Sen

Palin Robocalls for Christine O’Donnell and My Thoughts on Conservatives Taking Over GOP

My biggest gripe about the current GOP leadership is that they are a bunch of punks who are too comfortable in Washington.

The people are not served with Rino Republicans like Mike Castle who embraced too much of the Obama agenda. Its fallacious thinking that suggests that Northern East Republicans need to be more Liberal to win elections.

That’s a crock!

Conservatives need to wrestle control of the GOP once and for all and kick these Democrat-Lite idiots like Castle to the curb.

CNN reports that Sarah Palin is taking on the GOP establishment again.

"I can relate to the vicious personal attacks on Christine and can tell you it's sad to see the establishment's desperation in this," the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee says in a new robocall and radio ad taped for Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell who she endorsed last week.

O'Donnell is the insurgent tea-party backed candidate who is now giving the state's best known Republican, Representative Mike Castle, a run for his money in the primary. O'Donnell won the endorsement of the Tea Party Express this summer and both Palin and Senator Jim DeMint threw their support behind her campaign in the last few days.

The O'Donnell campaign has bought time to broadcast the Palin robocall on the radio. In it Palin says "a wave of positive change can really sweep across our land with the election of Constitutional conservatives like Christine who promise to use common sense and rein in federal government spending." She urges listeners to vote on Tuesday insisting, "We just can't afford more of the same in Washington and Christine will help usher in the real change that we need."
