I first heard about Ann Coulter's opinion on Dr. Kent Brantly and Africa from Dana Loesch on her Friday night program on The Blaze. It had sealed the deal for me on why I believe that Ann Coulter has been bad for the conservatives in this country and I needed to check the article out for myself. I know she is and countless like her are nothing but opinion. The smart intelligent women of the right will listen to her simply because she is a woman. Here is her website so that you can form your own opinion, http://www.anncoulter.com/
I grew up in the church, but religion was liberally taught in my home. The basic point was follow the Ten Commandments, love others, obey the parental units and be tolerant of those who pray and worship differently from me. It was really basic simple God loves everyone. I was allowed to explore with the guidance of my family. I have seen nothing wrong with this family plan and hope that this is what I am passing to my children. The moment I hear Ann Coulter speak it makes me cringe. I believe she takes her idea of Christianity to a whole new level with the article that she posted on her website. She basically raises the question of why did Dr. Kent Brantly have to go to Africa and why couldn't he minister through Christ here in America. Ms. Coulter I am here to answer for you it's because he was called to Africa and it's where his heart most likely felt at home. I don't know the man personally, but know that when my heart isn't where it should be then life just isn't where it should be for me.
I personally would not go if I was leaving a family behind. This guy risked his life for those in Africa that did not share his same religious views. I know that we as an American society live or worship differently than one another. The families in African countries and other places around the world do not share the same exceptionalism that we in the States have enjoyed. I would imagine that Dr. Kent Brantly wanted to share this American idea through his love for Christ. Dr. Kent Brantly was called and didn't waist time and worry. He could have accepted the medicine but declined in favor of the nurse that was working with him. This is the example that we all should set and especially those of us who are American Citizens. I ask this question, Why is it a bad thing to not only to serve here in the United States but take this exceptionalism and spread it around the world? Let's show the world the best of us as the missionaries in Africa risked their lives to do the same. It is my hope that Ms. Coulter remembers as to why she is a Christian. Christ sent the twelve to show freedom through God. This is all Dr. Kent Brantly was doing and it is a job well done.
