TCUnation
social network for conservatives
Ann Coulter, Billy Hallowell
Please just offer your opinion about these people (if you know them). I don't understand much about politics yet, but since joining TCU, I am researching, reading, and trying to understand/learn. I have just been in awe of some of the comments/replies and subjects. Billy Hallowell claims to be a Christian political writer but he was upset with me about following Ann Coulter on Twitter. (www.williamhallowell.com) I was just trying to read and learn more about Ann to decide what she stood for and her viewpoints, but apparently it upset a few people (Billy Hallowell) because I looked around. I saw just a few seconds of her on a show and it seemed she was getting bashed for her viewpoints and I didn't catch the whole interview, but I liked what she said when I walked through. They both seem to have some viewpoints that I agree with but a lot I may not. Please offer any advice, opinion, viewpoints, knowledge, etc., about these two people. I finally found a site (TCU) where I feel I can trust the advice and opinions of the members without being attacked (for my lack of knowledge) and I trust I will be led in the right direction from people who share my convictions. Thanks.

Pamela,
You have stumbled into what, in my opinion, is the basis of the conservative movement. Having a set standard that we try to live by, by the ability and freedom to judge for yourself what you feel is right. I don;t know much about Ann Coulter, but what I have heard from her and read a little, I really like. Billy Hollowell, I don;t know at all, know nothing about him. All i can say is research it, listen to them with an open heart and let the spirit (I am a born again christian) lead you toward the truth. Many people are educated idiots and are supporting a group just for looks or to fill an agenda. Judge for yourself, the truth will not return to you void.
Take care, and God Bless you

Thanks Andrew...that was the most refreshing, kindest reply I have ever received. I know I have finally joined a social network that truly wants to help instead of attack. Appreciate the advice. I will check out your blog.

I don't know Hallowell I might have heard of him but don't recall him. But I love Ann. She is not for everyone but I think she is very smart and I love the way she throws liberals' BS right back in their faces. I think a lot of liberals hate her because by all intensive purposes she should be a liberal, she has all the traits of prominent liberals. (Ivy league law degree, thin, rich) A lot of promient conservatives dislike her because she is confrontational and they don't want to be, they all just want to play nice and hold hands. But most of them don't realize that liberals don't play nice. They attack and destroy people at all costs. Look at Miss California. If she would have said she supports gay marriage she would have won. Now because she has faith and an opinion based on her faith she is going to be destroyed. They are talking about taking her crown and everything. It's sad liberals don't have a credible argument so they attack the messenger. Keith Olberman's whole career is based off of that. And Ann if one of the few that puts them on the defensive.

Ann Coulter can be a bit harsh, and many people do find her offensive...that being said, I personally love her--she takes no prisoners and can dish it out as good as they give it. I think Matt is on to something, the left especially hates people that are conservatives, but they think should be liberal, e.g. anyone but a straight white male. Look at how they treated Michael Steel when he spoke at that college--they booed and threw oreo cookies at him! The whole point of conservatism is freedom, you should be free to "follow" anyone you like--don't let Billy or anyone else tell you what to do. The problem with our cause is this, we have a lot of people with very different viewpoints on various subjects, however, just like "Bush derangement syndrome" bonded all the pinko commies together, perhaps opposition to the losses of freedom will bond us!

Pamela,
I became fascinated by Ann when I first saw an appearance she made on Fox News. Since then I have been all ears. She is very opinionated, and is not afraid to share her beliefs. On the other side sometimes I think she says and does things for attention, but usually when she speaks, I listen. Not really sure of the other fellow. Ann makes numerous appearances on the Hannity and O'Reilly shows and has had many New York Times Bestsellers. As I started to follow her more I decide to read one of her books, which may give a little more insight. I read "If Democrats had any Brains, they'd be Republicans", and what a great read it was. She says that she does all her own research, and it might be hard to find people like that these days. She also has her own newspaper column . I searched the web about her, and was able to find plenty of information. Another point is that she isn't afraid to go up against a Liberal. Anyway I enjoy listening to her, hope this helps.

Thanks for your input. I am totally in agreement with you on all of it.

Greta Beretta said:In my opinion, Ann is great. She is very intelligent and is not intimidated by liberal attacks. I admire her outspoken demeanor and strength. I am unfamiliar with the other individual, Mr. Hallowell, and the only reason conceivable of his dislike for her may be her uncanny ability (as a woman) to deliver the truth in a forthright and unapologetic manner, and we know sometimes "the truth hurts," but so be it.
I believe I must have thought right about Ann Coulter. Thanks. I rejected Hallowell.

Yes it helped very much. I accepted her on Twitter and also plan to read that book. I LOVE THE TITLE! tee hee! I will search more about her and also love the way she stands up to these jerks (like on The View) which I never watch....what a joke, but I saw a clip of them attacking her on the news. She really held her ground though. I appreciate your input.

wayne abott said:Hi, Pamela-
I've read Ann Coulter and watched her tv appearances in the past, but quit probably 8 or 9 months ago, due simply to the fact that she seems far more interested in being "provocative" than informative. I think she has a far greater intellect than she lets on, and the reason she underplays that, I believe, is so she wont alienate that portion of her audience which is not so politically astute as her.
She is making a mint at her racket, so I suppose there's no reason to change the formula, but it is that very formulaic quality of her delivery that eventually left me feeling bored when watching her.
Enjoy your stay at TCU.
Hummmm....very interesting. I like the different view point. Thanks a bunch. Everyone on TCUnation is great and very helpful.
