Questions for Ann Coulter

This is in response to her article "The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth, But They Shouldn't Be President". Anybody who reads her loyally and agrees with her and is in her purported demographic (Conservative, Evangelical, Republican, Christian, etc.), I would love to hear your responses. Thanks.
__

1. Who exactly do you believe the "meek" are? Since you are using scripture, give me some scriptural references to the "Meek" and which qualities they possess which would bar them from presidency?

2. The country needs a man. And it needs a man all the time. What kind of man? And also, how do you judge the qualities of a man? What qualifies a "man" as president-material? Bible verses?

3. Please give the context of Job 12 which would apply positively to Donald Trump.

4. Does your understanding of this context apply when Mr. Trump says he has never asked for forgiveness? Is that not pride? Isn't the entire life of Christian one of repentance (I'm paraphrasing German reformer Martin Luther)? How could you expect an apparently unforgiven man to run the U.S. appropriately? What does the bible speak of ungodly rulers (and an unforgiven man has no capacity to be a godly ruler unless he repents and is forgiven)?

5. On which basis do you call the "concept of America" the "last hope for Christianity on the planet"? It seems there are many other last hopes for Christianity, a majority of which are popping up all over China. Do you really believe that if America went down the tubes, there would be no hope for Christianity on the planet? The kingdom grows with each dying martyr.

6. Where's the biblical basis for your views on immigration flow? Do government borders limit people or governments? If they limit people, then you're encroaching on the ideals of socialism. Tread carefully here.

7. That's a very cute plug for your book there. Have you noticed the self-fulfilling prophecy in your book? "If illegals enter the states, they will ruin us. I hate them. And look how they don't want to vote for my team. That's why I hate them." What does the bible say about the sojourner? What does God's law say about the sojourner?

Music Recommendation: Citizens & Saints: Join The Triumph

Two consolations:

I know I haven't posted a music recommendation in a while.
I know this album technically came out last year.

Citizens & Saints (formerly Citizens) released this album almost a year ago as the time of this blog's writing. I'm just here to make a couple observations and link a Spotify thing.

Observations:
1. Even less contemporary guitar-bass-piano-bass. Lots more synth.

The band has gotten a lot more comfortable with the almighty synthesizer. Expect more artificial noise. I personally think these sorts of things detract from the musicianship, but I'm saying this as a drummer who prefers to hit real drums. Take my salt with a grain of feelings. The sound works for them, and for that, I am glad.

2. Even more clean production.

Production value is an all-time high for this band. I prefer the dirtiness of their first EP (back when they were a Mars Hill band). But this is not necessarily a detraction.

3. Even more hymns.

Criticisms of Mars Hill's church strategy aside, I do believe there has been an increase in the proliferation of the hymns of the last few centuries, in no small part due to the influence of Mars Hill's worship music and its stylistic pervasion into the CCM sphere. The helpfulness of the old forms is not to be dismissed; and the hymn+modern music sensibilities formula never sounds terribly formulaic. Advantageous to hear these words because of how malleable the media is.

The verdict:

Citizens... sounds kinda like what I expect. A non-nonsense 80's-tinged indie rock worship album with clean production and classic hymns.

The Recommendations:
The Strife Is Over
Be Thou My Vision
Father You Are All We Need

I don't give out letter ratings, but if I did, I'd give this one a B.

I guess I give out letter ratings.
