While I have real sense of Ms. Coulter’s adorability, I wholeheartedly agree with the overall sentiments expressed. Even when I don’t agree with her, I’m always glad she said it!

Feb 20, 2009 - 9:53 am 2. Terry:

Oops, I meant to write, “no REAL sense of Ms. Coulter’s adorability . . .”

Feb 20, 2009 - 9:54 am 3. Paul from Hamburg:

Thank you for this post. It it not particularly enlightening, but I look forward to reading all of the verbal vomit that is sure to spew forth from the various lefties who wander through this sight.

Most conservative commentators really, really want be accepted by the media elite so they pull their punches and beg for a few scraps from the NYT or WaPo. Coulter wants none of that. She tells the conservative story with biting Swiftian wit. She offers no apologies and couldn’t care less about what the progressive world thinks about her. If more conservatives took her attitude if not her style the troika of Obama, Pelosi and Reid would not be running country today.

Conservatives must stop eating their own. I have never seen Ann truly demean someone the way Democrats and the Socialist/Fascist allies do.

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:09 am 5. Robert Hurley:

She is entertaining but specializes in playing loose with the facts. In her mind 2+2=6. That plays well with her fellow wingnuts, but only helps destroy the Republican Party. Of course on the way she earns a decent buck

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:11 am 6. Ms. Attitude:

“It caused her to be roundly attacked throughout the press for being unfeeling toward the “plight” of single mothers.”

I haven’t read the book but I will. I was a single mother of 2 sons for 8 years. I remarried and had a daughter but diovrced again. The father of my two son’s lived 13 hours away so raising the boys was left up to me. (My oldest moved out on his own 3 years ago and my youngest moved in with his father 2 years ago)

I heard a song on the radio that was written by a rapper praising his mom. He states she was on welfare and he ended up in the pen. What’s the difference between a liberal single mom and a conservative single mom?

The conservative single mom refuses to be a victim. My oldest son was an Eagle Scout, plays the saxaphone and was active in the church. My youngest plays every sport imaginable and does them very well (we are hoping for a college scholarship). While raising my son’s alone on low pay and a small child support check, I worked full time, attended school full time and obtained a BBA. I never missed a band concert or game. Were we wearing fancy clothes, talking on cell phones or watching cable tv? NO Did we ever go on welfare? NO I sacraficed so they could have.

My young daughter will have a much better childhood because I have a better paying job and her father lives in the same town. Liberals freak out when I tell them I’m a conservative single mother…but I know many of us and we give to society instead of taking!

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:15 am 7. Steve P.:

Nothing but a rodeo clown. Ann Coulter is a character created by Ann Coulter to make tons of money off of conservative saps who are looking for an outlet for their impotent rage over the fact that liberals have cornered the market on most thing hip, cool, smart and sexy, while conservatives continue to be seen by the mainstream as dull, backwards, old and bible thumping.

Want proof? Ask Ann herself – she dates liberals.

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:38 am 8. Sarah:

Dear Ms. Attitude, HOORAH!!!
You sound a lot like my own mother who I think is one of the strongest people in the world. After my father passed away she raised SIX children on her own and we NEVER went on government assistance of any kind. She worked 4 jobs at a time and all of us kids carried newspapers from about the time we could walk! I worked all through high school AND paid my own way through college, once again, without ANY kind of federal aid.
It’s never made much sense to me why people refuse to pull themselves out of the gutter and make something of themselves….oh that’s right, becuase then they would actually have to work for what they have rather than have it handed to them!
We all have the same opportunities when it comes to the “pursuit of happiness” but I don’t recall ever being promised that everyone will have the same result. God forbid our forefathers believe that SOMETHING should be left up to personal responsibility!

Ann Coulter KICKS ASS, if she were president you better believe that any and all terrorists would be VERY afraid!

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:40 am 9. Bob:

Conservatives/Republicans are too often on defense. Ann makes up for this by playing offense most of the time. She may not be 100% right – who is? – but she backs up her arguments with research and reasoning, making it a lot easier to simply call her names or dismiss her out of hand (like Poster #5 above) than to refute any of her specific arguments. She may not have the influence of Rush or Sean, but she’s definitely an asset to the right-wing team.

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:42 am 10. progressoverpeace:

Excellent article. Ann Coulter is one of the truly indispenable minds on the right. She is a very clear thinker with a great sense of humor, to boot. I think her ability to effortlessly win debates (often debates that other conservatives are scared to enter or have problems dealing with in such a penetrating manner) is part of what drives conservative criticism of her. Many conservatives are presented with having to defend something that Ann has said and they are unable to find the reasoning, so they throw her to the curb in order to save themselves, usually saying that she is an extremist, or something equally silly. Luckily, Ann does not seem bothered by this.

While I don’t agree with everything Ann says, I must say that I concur with her on about 95% of what I have heard her say. That includes her statement about converting the arab world to Christianity (and I’m a Jew), though I would prefer the solution of retaking the gulf oil fields (which were stolen in the forced nationalizations of the 50’s and 60’s), which would immediately defang the arab/persian/muslim world and settle much of the problem in one fell swoop.

Ann is a national treasure and I am happy to see your article defending such an important asset of this nation.

Hey Robert-

I’m a wingnut, she’s a wingnut, wouldn’t you like to be a wingnut too! BTW- in the USAF, we enlisted folks were called “wingnuts” as an affectionate term due to the resemblance of our rank insignia to a wingnut. I’m cool with that term.

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:56 am 12. Ms. Attitude:

Thank you Sarah. You have the same beautiful name as my daughter. I always told my children, and still do, that life isn’t fair and no one ever promised you that it would be. The Declaration of Independence states that one of our unalienable Rights is the pursuit of Happiness. It’s the pursuit that brings happiness and only you can pursue it no one can do it for you, especially not the government.

Feb 20, 2009 - 10:59 am 13. gnatsandcamels:

I’m a full-on Ann Fan(atic). She is definitely no “coward” – take that Eric Holder. Would love to see Ann and Holder debate race.

Also, she’s funny! She sounds snarky, but she’s warm.

She is, indeed, a national treasure.

“Victim of a Crime? Thank A Single Mother”
—————————————–
Wrong. Part of the crime problem is men who abandon their wives with children. Single moms have tremendous courage. This harpy doesn’t know what it means to be a single mother or a mother. Why should she judge them?

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:06 am 15. cheesegrater:

To Ms. Attitude and Sarah
Ann Coulter make distinctions between single and divorced, widowed mothers. Ms. Attitude you were never a single mother. You are divorced. There’s a difference. Ann says that single mothers are girls, women who have children and are never married to their childs father. Her statistics are for single mothers. Divorcees and widows are not what she is talking about.

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:09 am 16. Sarah:

Pat J,
Would you like to back up that claim with some statistics from a reliable source please? Have you read the book at all or did you just feel that quoting the title of a chapter (without mentioning all the FACTS that Coulter has to back them up) was enough to legitimize your claim? Excuse those of us that have a problem with just taking your word for it…..

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:20 am 17. WestWright:

So far we’ve been blessed by a mild Obot BlogSwarm showing us their Obot brilliance by calling Coulter a rodeo clown, wingnut, harpy & wrong as well as this canard, not well documented.

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:20 am 18. El Gordo:

Steve P. – who are these “hip, cool, smart and sexy” libs? I know bitter old ones and bitter young ones and the young ones get their news from Jon Stewart, for crying out loud. The politicians they get elected are uglier than ours, far more corrupt and economic illiterates. Anyone here can give you thirty, forty examples, easy.

I am no fan of Coulter but I don´t see a good reason to even have this debate. I don´t see anyone the other side ever being embarrassed by Michael Moore, Keith Olbermann or any of the little fascist Donkeys who would burn my country down just because the other party has won an election. None of them are less partisan or nearly as smart or principled as Ann Coulter. But because they are libs we are supposed to say they are smart? No, they are drooling idiots. YOUR drooling idiots.

cheesegrater:
Um, thanks for clearing that up for us….having read the book the first day it came out I clearly recognized the distinctions that Ms. Coulter draws between the “types” of single mothers, I was merely relaying my own experience to another poster in order to be encouraging not necessarily in direct correlation to the book.

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:39 am 22. happy1ga:

For someone who suppposedly plays loose with the facts, as a poster above posits, she does the most indepth research from all sources, and has up to 20 footnotes per page, in some cases. her books are about 1/3 of reference notes. As a collector of political books, could you please name someone better researched? I’m afraid I haven’t ran across them yet. (BTW, I have over 300 books to go check). As for the person above, she never says ALL single mothers are the problem. You need to read the book in context. I was briefly a single mom due to a divorce. She wasn’t referring to me. She was focusing on people who go out and purposefully get pregnant w/o having a spouse or proper family around to help with care, versus just droppping them at a sitter. And she is right. I don’t care how upscale you are, by denying your child both parents, you are being selfish. It is bad, and the people in Hollywood and the lawmakers of DC, hold these people up to be heroic. No, they are just stupid.

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:44 am 23. cheesegrater:

Sarah
Thanks for responding. We must speak with one voice. By that I mean : Don’t be ashamed that your mother is/was a widow. There is no shame in that. She was never a single mother. There are not “types” of single mothers. Single mothers are nieve, immature, irresponsible girls/women. Your mother is/was none of those things.

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:53 am 24. HalifaxCB:

Pat J. – BS. I’m a single parent (or was, till my last got old enough to fly the coop). It’s not about courage, it’s simply about commitment, the same as in two parent families. I wanted kids, and so I did my best for them when they came. That doesn’t change regardless of the relationship with the other parent (that’s just stuff you have to navigate, like the weather).

Feb 20, 2009 - 11:56 am 25. BigDana:

Robert –

You accuse Ann of poor research (”to her 2+2=6″).

Care to back that statement up with proven examples?

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:03 pm 26. NCBob:

“There’s more good, honest material in a paragraph of her work than in any entire edition of the New York Times.”

NOT SO!! It was on a Thursday or Friday, in August, 1998 or 1999 when there was an entire edition of the NYT that had more honest material than a paragraph of Ann’s work.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:03 pm 27. David S:

Andrew apparently has a crush on Ann Coulter. Good for him. Harmless fun. But to portray Ann Coulter as a reasonable person using facts to back up her argument is a joke.

She is perhaps the most partisan person in the current media circus, and her lies know no bounds.

Criticism of her may also cross the line at times, but she deserves the vast majority of barbs she receives.

Peace.

There is more truth in one of Coulter’s occasional excesses than there is in the collected writings of Paul Krugman and Bill Moyers and Bill Ayers and Barry Obama and….. I think I can live with that.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:14 pm 29. Steve P.:

Cheesegrater, you’re a moron. There are plenty of young women who raise children out of wedlock who do a great job despite idiots like you telling them that they’re irresponsible. Just as there are plenty of two-parent households that raise terrible children. This is why people think conservatives like you are backwards and detached from reality – because you draw lines in the sand that don’t exist and get pissed off when no one else recognizes them.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:15 pm 30. seven:

The stats she can share that express politically incorrect findings.

Example:
She mentions the Juvenile delinquency rates, crime rates are about the same when black single moms are compared with white single moms and we look at the sons.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:21 pm 31. cheesegrater:

Steve P.
It took you only four words before you started namecalling. Tell me how responsible it is for a girl/woman with no means to support herself, much less someone else to have a baby and become a burden to either her parents or society. I’m not blaming anyone. It’s just that single motherhood is not a good thing.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:25 pm 32. RE:

The first reaction to truth is hatred — Tertullian

Ann Coulter’s fearlessness is admirable. I wish she’s give some lessons in courage to our ‘leaders’.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:25 pm 33. WestWright:

Steve P., have you ever read Coulters book?

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:26 pm 34. Roy M:

“There’s more good, honest material in a paragraph of Ann Coulter’s work than in any entire edition of the New York Times.”

Which paragraph?

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:27 pm 35. Sarah:

Steve P.
Have you read the book? Since your obviously uninformed post suggests that you haven’t you might want to see what Ms. Coulter has to say about the statistics (from 30 years of research) that are the result of “single” motherhood. She doesn’t even use the broad sweeping generalizations that you freely throw about in your post (”conservatives like you”)

Please cite reliable statistical evidence for the “plenty of young women who raise children out of wedlock who do a great job” – just because you knwo one or two people that are the exception to the rule doesn’t negate that fact that what she has to say is legitimate and documented.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:34 pm 36. Ian Thorpe:

I saw on You Tube Ann says she could never date a liberal because she could not take
seriously the dinky little electric car. Tell her when she is in Britain this British Liberal and his 140mph, 2.7litre V6 Honda are available to take her wherever she wants to go. Oh and I regard speed limits as merely suggestions speeds for novice drivers.

I couldn’t guarantee she will get back to her hotel with her virtue unstained thoough. My cybersweetie from Texas (not unlike Ann physically as it happens) described me as “one of those louche European Bohemians”.

She might be right. If you know what I mean…

In the same clip Ann also said someone called Chris Matthews wanted to have sex with B.O. Let’s face it, if certain persistent rumours are to be believed and my instinct tells me they are, Chris would not be the first man to have sex with Barry by a long way.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:40 pm 37. Pat J:

16. Sarah:
———
No. Because I was off base. The real problem is a percentage of single mothers who are too immature or emotionaly unbalanced to have a baby. They do place a burden on society. The crime stats reflect this. As much as I despise Ann Coulter, this is one area where she is correct.

That being said, I always take anything she says with a huge grain of salt. Especially as she places single motherhood as some sort of plan by liberals to attack the family unit. She’s not a socialogist.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:42 pm 38. Blackwell:

SteveP: you are quite right, there are plenty of single moms (and dads) who do a terrific job. Lots are poor. Most tend to be though, middle class or professional parents that have the luxury of picking their kids up after school, the money for lessons, a secure place to live away from gangs and one or more stable friends of the opposite sex.

The point of the issue in any discussion is that single parents in lower income brackets are usually most certainly not picking their kids up from school, encouraging them to read, living where the kids meet other nice kids etc. This is not snobbery: its real life: every study proves it and every parent with a kid in public school knows it. The less you make, the more single parenthood equates with kids that don’t read, aren’t watched, and are in trouble. Anyone that’s ever lives in a low income bracket knows this too. Don’t you agree?

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:42 pm 39. cheesegrater:

Steve P.
I should have added that the fathers of the children that become society’s burden are as much or more nieve, immature and irresponsible. It’s such a shame that the innocents (the children) have to suffer the most. But as Ann say: The mayhem that they unleash on society when they grow up is terrible.

Feb 20, 2009 - 12:47 pm 40. Paul from Hamburg:

Steve P:
Thanks! I always enjoy a good melange of the inane and the irrelevant. I am particularly fond of the “There are plenty of…” arguments; I’ll try a few myself:
Driving while intoxicated should not be a crime. There are plenty of people who drive drunk without killing anyone.
Methamphetamine should not be illegal. There are plenty of people addicted to meth who still live productive lives.
The driving age should be lowered to 13. There are plenty of 13 year olds with the maturity to drive a car.

I’m 100% in agreement. Driving while intoxicated is fine – driving while impaired, not so much. Likewise methamphetamine should be legal, and the driving age should be repealed. After all, we do believe in liberty, right? If you can function on meth – go for it! If you can pass the driving test at 12, drive yourself to middle school.

Now we’re getting somewhere.

Peace.

While I would agree that Ms. Coulter can tend to over aggrandize certain things for the sake of making a point I do agree with her perspective that single mothers are elevated to a position in today’s society of someone to emulate, in spite of the statistical evidence that proves the potential harm to the children especially and society in general.
Thank you for being willing to discuss the point rationally and I would suggest taking anything that anyone has to say with a grain of salt, me included!

As I reread your first post I would like to say that Ann is not coming down on single mothers, rather, our permissive culture that glamorizes and thus seduces immature people to “act out” what they see in the movies, TV and magazines as a desrieable lifestyle.

Pretty simple really; Ms. Coulter does her research, gathers the facts, and presents her arguments with great skill. The rethorical fireworks she often receives manufactured outrage for would not be possible without the vacuity of her opponent’s arguments. By the way, she *IS* very successful. How does she do it? She earns it, that’s all! We can get informed and amused at the same time, what a deal! Thank you, Ms. Coulter.

It takes courage to be someone the likes of Ann Coulter. So what ,shes not tactful. Will someone tell me where LIARS like Kieth Ubercommie, Chris Matthews, every news anchor for the KGB roundtable(otherwise called the driveby media) or those such as the NYSLIMES, who just had to pay the female lobbyist they accused of sleeping with Mcshame 27 million to avoid a huge libel suit. Has the lovely Miss Coulter ever been accused of falsyfying documets like DAN BLATHER AND MARY MAPES did? Ad then try to pass FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS off even AFTER being exposed? Did not the KGB COMMIES of the medcia give BLATHER an award for LYING?????THE MEDIA DESPISES COULTER FOR BEING HONEST. THIS IS THE SAME MEDIA THAT ADMIRED BUBBA CLINTON FOR HIS “ABILITY” TO BE A “GOOD LIAR”. I for one will ALAWAYS support a GREAT AMERICAN like Ann Coulter, for she has the guts, nerve, and tenacity to fight for what is RIGHT. AND THAT IS AN ADMIRABLE QUALITY.

Saw Ann on Larry King “LIVE” last night. For some reason, a woman named Joy Behar was sitting in for the aging marionette. (Aside: could someone please tell me how this poor Catskills reject is getting national airtime?)

The interviewer was having a tough time doing her usual crapola act because, unlike poor old John McCain, Coulter is no gentleman. It was a pleasure to behold, as most AC television appearances are.

I understand even marketing genius Donnie Deutsch gave up his old show after interviewing her.

TS, little man… and all whining liberals like you.

“Victim of a Crime? Thank A Single Mother”
—————————————–
Wrong. Part of the crime problem is men who abandon their wives with children. Single moms have tremendous courage. This harpy doesn’t know what it means to be a single mother or a mother. Why should she judge them?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
An interesting sentiment. So if a woman has sex with three or four different men, she should not be blamed for any of the resulting children, because she couldn’t be expected to guess what was going to happen when she got a kid (the guy abandoning her). I’ll grant you that things are the man’s fault, too… but if the woman won’t have sex with him, how’s he going to abandon her with his children?

BTW, my mother raised me single, after my father died in a drunk driving accident when I was a little less than four. I have, over the years, met other children of single mothers, or single mothers themselves, who say that since mothers raise children and fathers have no part in family life, losing the father from a family is largely a financial issue. In addition to the sexist aspect of this (tell any feminist that a woman’s job in the family is to raise the children, and you’ll be branded a sexist pig), there’s the fact that it’s simply not true. If Mom’s sick, who takes the children to school, the doctor, soccer practice or music school? What if she has a career? The idea that a single woman can do all of this without help, and maintain a career, is something started on Murphy Brown and perpetuated in various media outlets. I saw Nancy Grace talking the other day about her twins, on TV. If she has a career in entertainment, she *must* have a pretty much full-time nanny. How many women, especially poor ones, can afford that?

johngaltlives: … the NYSLIMES, who just had to pay the female lobbyist they accused of sleeping with Mcshame 27 million to avoid a huge libel suit.

NICE TRY, LIAR! That female lobbyist had to drop her lawsuit against the Times because there was not enough evidence that the newspaper actually accused her of havng the affair. They didn’t pay her a cent!

Feb 20, 2009 - 2:44 pm 55. John Kelly:

A number of shrewd political people I know , have noted that Ann Coulter is much more a “stand up” comedian than political pundit. She has the timing and aim to disarm or gobsmack her interviewers. She knows exactly how to jerk a liberal’s chain and the timing to do it again and again. Ann is a media staple and a “hot” guest on both news and other TV shows. Since she looks like a character from “Sex & the City” audiences like to see her, especially when she lobs a rhetorical grenade at her interviewer or at other people on her panel. She understands that comedy is a serious business and a very powerful way to deliver moral and practical truth to her audience. All great comedians are making moral points, just doing in ironic or outrageous ways. Since she has worked on an urban hipster persona, that is exactly “casting against type.” She is not a sharp lawyer like Laura ingram or anything at all like other female conservative icons. That’s what gives her writing and her appearances their zing. Since so many women liberals have little going for them beyond natural fiber clothes and bitter sarcasm, Ann is a perfect foil. She uses her persona brilliantly and at once become catnip to soft liberal interviews. She thrusts at the weakest parts of liberal programs and they hate her for it.

Feb 20, 2009 - 2:54 pm 56. Matt:

One of the most interesting things about Ann’s single mothers chapter (and column) was she was NOT criticizing single mothers who had been in marriages and gotten divorced. She was criticizing single mothers who made a conscious decision to have a child without being in a relationship with the father of the child. But all I heard was screeching from divorced mothers with kids about how unfair and mean Coulter was.

It just shows you too many people get their facts from mediamatters and lefty blogs, rather than reading the source material.

Feb 20, 2009 - 3:19 pm 60. joeblough:

These comments about Coulter acting “over the top” leave something important out of account.

Coulter is a woman, a sincere one, and as such brings all of her woman’s wiles, skills, provocativeness and emotionality to the encounter.

It is actually quite refreshing to see a full scale woman fully engaged in the cause of the good.

It is actually the conservative habit of maintaining a low-key, ultra-controlled public face which needs to be questioned — not Coulter’s theatrics and candor.

Coulter is like the unrestrained sister who comes out and shouts at you in plain English what your stuffy restrained parents have been hinting at for three weeks in the hope that you’ll come around on your own.

Thank God we have her around.

Once again, any post about Ann Coulter brings out the chronically dissatisfied. As I have in the past, I ask simply this: How many of you have read all her books?

For those of you who consider her a lightweight, give a thought to the fact that she was the editor of the Michigan Law Review as well as working on the Senate Judiciary Committee and serving as a litigator with the Center for Individual Rights.

Her book High Crimes and Misdemeanors is an exquisitely researched and profoundly argued indictment of the Clinton Administration and all it stood for, as well as the perfect example of a deep understanding of Constitutional law.

I’m way too old to be tempted into arguments about her attractiveness; as the father of a middle-aged woman, I just think she’s a real cutie. Unlike any of her detractors, she argues like a man while remaining eternally feminine, and rarely displaying anything but a becoming self-mockery.

In the same sense as the insane jealousy and envy evinced in the hysterical reaction to Governor Sarah Palin, I detect a certain amount of heterosexual panic in the shrill responses and scorn heaped upon her appearance. She’s a woman, and doesn’t apologize for it by claiming victimhood.

And the best part is, she obviously doesn’t give a damn what you think. Anybody who can read her stuff and think she’s criticizing widowed mothers is simply embarrassing themselves.

Always fun to watch the lefties harp on about the nobility of all single motherhood and throw in the existence of dysfunctional two parent families as if that is some kind of proof. I don’t dish on individuals as every circumstance is different, but the credible research I have ever seen at the macro level shows that kids in 2 parent homes are more likely to finish school, stay out of trouble, and avoid anti-social and self destructive behavior.

So when public policy (which should exist at the macro level) dismisses this and considers marriage before children just another life-style choice and not a greater good, then our kids and communities as a whole are worse off. No, not every kid is worse off, just more kids.

But if you need to live in the mythical land of feel good, then by all means, have at it.

And, why do so few understand her use of hyperbole? She does it quite effectively.

Thank A Single Mother.” Or what if Ann had said widows of dead Marines were whores, that it was unfair if they told their story to the media because she couldn’t criticize them? They were only interested in the fame. The happiest widows on earth. That stuff just doesn’t sound right, does it?

You gotta think about those things where people like Little Miss Sinew are concerned.

Here are some questions that I think would interest conservatives as they determine their allegiance to Wraithina:
1. Ever had an abortion?
2. Ever do drugs? Which ones?
3. Ever sleep with a married man?
4. Ever have a gay experience?
5. Ever cheat on your taxes?
6. Ever lied for money?
7. Ever voted illegally?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Million_Dollar_Baby

The image of the greedy family at the end is talkative, the kind of people don’t love their children that are born to justify the allocations that their lazy mother and male partner get for not trying to get a proper life !

Also when one child reachs the age of 16, generally the allocations diminish and the child has to get out ; it’s not unsual that they don’t become nice persons too, they start making small traffics or prostitution. At the same time the greedy mother is gettng pregnant again for prolonging her ressources, until she can’t anymore ; then comes retirement when her last progeniture gets the fatidic age of 16, I think it’s 18 now !!!

The government allows the kind of persons to have a long life of good time in their own definition ; the same can be applied for some of our surburbs. familial regroupement… immigrants, generally from sub-Africa have no family moral principles, I’m afraid to say that can’t concern most of our Maghrebin families, which are known to overprotect their girls

My problem with famous conservatives is that it’s hard to like a lot of them. A lot of big name conservatives on TV and radio act like assholes frankly. Rush Limbaugh was popping tons of pain pills, Bill O’Reily had a meltdown on camera over a teleprompter, and Ann Coulter is bitchy and overly confrontational every time I see her. Even though I agree with a lot of what they’re saying I don’t like how they carry themselves. They need to try to be more likable. I know it’s hard to remian calm when your placed in a hostile environment and a lot of times we want to respond with the same kind of venom being spit at you constantly.

Here you go:

Bigoted AC: If Arabs were being stopped at airports before Sept. 11 — and that’s a big if — that was probably wrong. There had been only one terrorist attack here in America by Arabs — the bomb at the World Trade Center in 1993. (This is excluding Sirhan Sirhan, the first Muslim to bring the classic religion-of-peace protest to American shores, when, in support of the Palestinians, he assassinated Robert Kennedy.)

But Sirhan Sirhan was, in fact, a Christian of Arab descent, not a Muslim. For a relatively recent source on this, you can check out the historian Godfrey Hodgson’s 1995 review of Dan Moldea’s The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy in The Washington Post. We found it on Lexis, but a quick Google search led us to the citation. Hey, Jonathan, is Coulter phoning it in or what?

Angry AC: “[W]hich women are constantly being called ugly? Is it Maxine Waters, Chelsea Clinton, Janet Reno, or Madeline Albright? No, none of these. Only conservative women have their looks held up to ridicule because only liberals would be so malevolent.”

She apparently forgot John McCain’s notorious joke about Chelsea Clinton: “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father.” And let’s not forget Jay Leno calling a man dressed as Reno an “ugly bitch.”

Sloppy AC: The bipartisan lovefest lasted precisely three weeks. That was all the New York Times could endure. Impatient with the national mood of patriotism, liberals returned to their infernal griping about George W. Bush — or “Half a Commander in Chief,” as he was called in the headline of a lead New York Times editorial on November 5, 2001. From that moment on, the left’s primary contribution to the war effort was to complain.

But, November 5 is just under two months after September 11.

Steve P.: What kind of jackass makes himself aware of whom Ann Coulter is dating?

Feb 20, 2009 - 5:27 pm 82. momof3:

I have a sociology degree, and yes every study of kids from single moms shows they are more likely to drop out, not go to college, get pregnant young, be on welfare, and end up in prison. This actually holds true when all other variables-income, race, etc-are held steady. That does not mean every kid from a single mom is a Jack the Ripper. It means every kid from a single mom is more likely to be one than a kid with 2 functional parents.

Kids of divorce actually are quite close in stats to kids of forever-singles, so I think Ann was being nice. There are millions of divorces in this country every year involving families with kids. You’re telling me ALL of these women happened to marry a-holes who walk out? No woman bears any blame for making a bad choice in the first place, or not being committed enough? I find that hard to believe.

Personal fulfillment at any cost is not a good for us to be aiming for as a society, no matter what the libs say.

One caveat-single moms who adopt do show better outcomes. Maybe because the kid is coming from zero, so anything is an improvement. Plus, adoption agencies are pretty picky about who gets kids, so that helps.

Feb 20, 2009 - 6:07 pm 83. DebbyTennis:

============

You have to hand it to Coulter for heating up the leftists to a boil. The lefty comments here are particularly pungent.

My guess is that it’s moral certainty that brings out the animal in them — the passionate hatred of moral certainty that is.

After all, their particular #1 bogeys are Ann and Rush — two people who carry their certainty about moral issues openly and gracefully, and I believe are known for it.

Hats off to Ann and Rush.

I love that the ‘documented lies’ in Ann Coulter’s book are just a bunch of he said / she said nonsense. Among MediaMatters’ stunning debunkings are simply repeating that ‘lipstick on a pig’ is a ‘common expression’, that Kerry did take a camera with him to war but ‘hardly ever appeared in the film’, and so on. What can you expect from a left-wing organization? Media Matters states that its express purpose is to “fight conservative misinformation”. What a load.

You may have noticed that whenever liberals talk about Coulter playing fast and loose with the facts, they never once give a specific example. The reason is simple: Ann Coulter is hated by liberals precisely because she practically invented the use of Lexis and ALWAYS does her homework. When she says that so-and-so said or did such-and-such, you can bet your entire sub-prime mortgage that that is exactly what happened.
That is why they call her names but don’t refute her. It’s called ‘impotent rage.’

Being a “good” commie or “good” America hater matters.

Feb 21, 2009 - 7:52 am 100. Lifeofthemind:

The Ann Coulter dates Liberals story is based on her having gone out a few times with Andrew Stein. He is a businessman in his 60s who retired after a career as a Democratic elected official in NYC. He was the last President of the New York City Council before that office was abolished. It is of course completely irrelevant to evaluating the quality of the arguments that she brings to the political debate.

The most valuable function that commentators like Miss Coulter have is that they draw forth such vile abuse from the foot soldiers of the Left as to make it clear that those who attack her are hypocrites. You can see it on this thread. Miss Coulter’s opponents are not commenting on her statements and considering the truth or context of what she has written or said. Even if she was wrong on occasion they do not focus on that but attack her based on alleged dating habits or sexuality. The purpose of this tactic is to stop debate. They seek to so befoul the public square as to drive all persons who would express opposing views off. Therefor they attack the speaker and not the content. This is an Alinskyite tactic.

The Republicans have always been better than the Democrats at controlling their fringe troops but the Internet has made the problem much much worse. Koss, HuffPo and DU commentators (collectively the Netroots) are now in control of the Democratic Party. The adults who have lost control and permitted BHO, Dean and Axelrod to seize the party apparatus were fools for thinking that they could control this.

#75 Blackwater – O’Reilly is not a conservative. He is an Independent. If you watch him regularly, you realize this. He professes this and lives up to his claim. Ideologically, he’s a little right of center. He goes off on “far-left loons”, but doesn’t have a problem with lefties in general. He just hates the PC stuff and the dishonesty.

He believes journalists should be centrist and fair, and tries to live up to that. He is definitely not conservative.

While I’m at it, FOX News is not all conservative. Shepard Smith and Geraldo Rivera, as two examples, are very much Lefties. Greta Van Susteren is hard to figure out, because she tries to keep her opinions to herself and just ask questions, although I believe she’s somewhat right-of-center.

Feb 21, 2009 - 10:58 am 107. one of your own:

106 MLONE: I’m stunned. And surprised that anyone could so seamlessly parrot the PR of our right wing media machine. Truly, this could be a script for Fox News contributors.

You’re aware of O’Reilly’s voter registration snafu, right? What was it, about five years ago he said “I am a registered independent.” Some enterprising cub reporter tracked tracked down O’Reilly’s card on which Bill had declared himself a Republican. Bill explained, “Well, there wasn’t a place to check ‘independent.’ ” He’s right, the box he was looking for actually read, “I do not wish to enroll in party.” I can see where a guy like Bill might be confused.

Bill punted, “I still can’t tell you, honestly, what happened there. I don’t know. I don’t remember.” He then changed his party to independent.

Of course you can Google “Bill O’Reilly phone sex script” and read what he said (more like did) to to a subordinate employee – aggressive, threatening, perverted, abusive – which he denied when she sued. “(This case is) the single most evil thing I have ever experienced, and I’ve seen a lot. But these people picked the wrong guy.”

Boy, did they. Bill countersued charging that his accuser and her lawyer were trying to embarrass him and Fox News Channel three weeks before the election.

Bill always goes for the big enchilada.

Then come the tapes. Bill settled (rumored to be $8 million) . . . the best possible evidence of his innocence.

And then there’s all that stuff from his show, dozens of contradictions and downright sociopathy – everything from homeless vets to abducted teen boys. THAT is the nature of Bill O’Reilly. He is remarkably disingenuous.

But then again, you say, “(Bill) just hates the PC stuff and the dishonesty . . . He believes journalists should be centrist and fair, and tries to live up to that.”

OK, you convinced me.

(Seriously, check out the transcript. You’ll be amazed.)

Obama, betrays an ignorance of history, Constitutional law and common sense and has no humility or sense of humor or honor. He is indeed our first affirmative action president. He knows nothing of this country’s founding nor what it means to be an American.

Obama appointed a race-baiting Attorney General and four tax cheats to his cabinet. His administration fosters division and discontent among our citizens.

Fine, Ann Coulter’s not everyone’s cup of tea, sometimes she dwells on things for effect, like the single motherhood chapter this year, the insult on Ahmadinejad, last year, and the topical comment, re Grey’s anatomy; which ended up being most ironic. But she does fight back against themendacity and the lies, which is unique in the party, only a few examples of which still remain, Bachman, and the governor of Alaska, who it turns out was very prophetic about what we would face, so they tried to destroy her; Anne chronicles what was done to her, Romney,
Jack Ryan, the original challenger to Obama as with Blair Hull, his democratic opponent was forced out, and the whole background of the macaca controversy, vs. the real vileness of the Webb campaign.

mina @112 – Re. Coulter & single parents, all I can say is go out and read the book. I’ve never been much of a fan of Ann Coulter (I don’t watch much TV), but because of the comments here, I decided to give it a try. As someone who was a single parent for the last 15 years or so, I have to say, she’s spot on. The whole idea that single parenting should be treated as some sort of ennobling cause is just so completely wrong; at best it’s just something you deal with as well as you can. But it should never be something to aspire to. Statistically it’s perhaps one of the most damaging things you can do towards a baby’s future (it’s actually much more favourable to a newborn to be given up for adoption than to be brought up out of wedlock by a single mother). BTW, the rest of the book is great as well, I’ve almost forgot I have the flu

For what it’s worth, I don’t think Coulter means everything she says. She likes shocking people, and even more she likes being attacked herself. You’ve only got to listen to her speak a few minutes before realizing that she’s trying to get people to retaliate. I don’t mind that in a person. She’s having fun without seriously hurting anybody. Let her. At least she’s wittier than Michael Moore.

Ann Coulter is a sharp tongued instrument of change. Put her on TV face to face with anybody from Joy Bahar to Whoopi Goldfat to Janet Edwards to the Jersey Girls to Michelle Obama and, usually within five to seven minutes, she turns them into blithering idiots.

In fact, she was on with Phil Donohue one time, and for the next three weeks, the big haired American hater walked around making sniffing sounds and ticking from his eyes. She turned him into mush.

I guess the truth has a way of changing people.

Sorry, but this conservative just can’t endorse Ann Coulter. Sure, she’s smart and witty, and is even a guilty pleasure from time to time. But whatever light she shines is lost because we end up having to explain what she “really” meant, or having to apologize for it. She reminds me of Joe McCarthy, another person who was right on the facts much of the time, but ended up discrediting both himself and his arguments by being an unreasonable jerk. I would rather conservatives stick to solid arguments and defensible mocking (e.g., Mark Steyn) rather than stoop to Coulter’s shtick.

A case study in AC:

CPAC is hosting Conservatism 2.0 (Oooh , how tchny!) Michelle Malkin will be leading the screech.

The speakers at this conservative internment are: Joe Hicks, Roger Simon and Bill Whittle

Joe Hicks wrote . . . Ronald Reagan was dim-witted, incapable of making his own decisions, had an itchy trigger finger, and wanted to push back social progress of all kinds. This may all sound all too familiar.

Roger Simon wrote about O’s inaugural . . . I have covered presidential inaugurals since Jimmy Carter’s in 1977, and I have never seen so much hope, so much optimism and so much sheer joy as in Washington this week.

Bill Whittle (of the famous “Whittling Days!”) wrote . . . President Obama has acted in such a way to make us more prosperous, more safe and more free.

Why in the world would Ms Eminem invite these libtards to CPAC? Those are all verbatim quotes, researched Ann Coulter style – deeply, accurately, Googly. That’s why you good people know “When she says that so-and-so said or did such-and-such, you can bet your entire sub-prime mortgage that that is exactly what happened.” . . . So easily mislead. It’s more than a shame, it’s dangerous.

Wise up . . . and don’t be pecksniffian. That would be bad. Not good. Remember the spin stops here, cuz we’re definitely looking out for you. Up next on Hannity . . . Sean takes a look back at Hillary’s hairstyles . . . sign of the times or sign of a liberal apocalypse?

PAT J and others on this site who quickly jump on Ann and defend the single mother miss the point completely. Ann is NOT attacking single mothers (hear that Whoopi? maybe you would have if you knew how to listen). She is attacking the MSM and hollywood and government programs that glorify it. She is saying all the facts are there: we should NOT be glorifying it, we should be glorifying a family consisting of a Mom AND A Dad. The only single moms she kind of attacks are those that choose to have a child without a father present. That is selfish and not fair to the child.
If only people would actually read her books and listen to the facts before they judge.

I’m a big time Ann Coulter fan, have all of her books and read her article each week. “Guilty” is yet another amazing bestseller, and the only thing more enjoyable then reading her work are the interviews that she does. She reduces her critiques to stammering fools who’s only retort is “yeah, well you’re mean!” because they can’t refute the body of evidence and facts she has presented. The latest and greatest was her exchange with “The Views” Joy Behar who sat in for Larry King Live. Talk about being out of your league, what was Joy thinking? When you send someone up against an informed, articulate, and rather humorous heavy hitter like Ann, it’s probably not best to roll out a half-wit. However, the whole exchange sure was good for a laugh!

As far as Ann and Rush leading the Republican party – if only we were so lucky! It is funny how libs try to make them (Ann and Rush) as radical idiots. I mean, Rush with his 20 million listners (who Joy thinks tune in out of spite – odd how I’ve never bothered to tune in to Olbermann’s show, and hate him like no other), or how Ann is constantly gone to far and is at the end of her career despite bestseller after bestseller. But that liberal logic for you, denail, pride, and petty anger all warped together.

Ann rocks! I can’t wait until her next “mean, over the top, controversial” (oh yeah, and a sure-fire BESTSELLER) book to come out!

While I don’t particularly like Ann Coulter, I agree that single mothers (never married, out-of-wedlock kids), especially ones who have more than one child,can and do lead to problems for the children and society. However, lumping all single mothers together is stereotyping. I am single mother myself(something I did not aspire to be as HalifaxCB put it). I was on food stamps and WIC until my son was 4 and I was able to finish my degree (at night while working full time) and get a good-paying job. My son is about to become an Eagle scout, is in the honor society in school, and is very involved in our church. There are children in our neighborhood from two parent homes that I wouldn’t want my son around. I don’t feel my son is “damaged” Halifax CB, or that I was wrong in keeping him. All of this is to say that the statements in her book and the comment I saw her make on Fox News that children without both parents “harms” children, really upsets me. I realize I’m not one of the statistics supporting her claims (and I don’t deny them), but it is wrong to lump ALL single mothers together.

Big sigh…once again, if you read, she was talking statistics. Statistically, your kid is an outlier. Doens’t mean they don’t exist, they are just much less likely to than the kids from single moms who have problems.

Seriously, it’d be like me getting pissed because someone says statistically, small framed caucasian women are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis. How insulting, I don’t have weak bones! What holds true in general does not mean in every instance. Why don’t people get that? If you’re one of the good ones, the lucky few, raise your head high and tell us, from your experience, how to keep young women from choosing to have babies out of wedlock. And please, no rants of the few who didn’t choose to get pregnant but did and kept the baby. We’re obviously not talking about them.

Feb 24, 2009 - 5:36 am 146. Quipster:

In her treatment of single motherhood, Ms. Coulter is not addressing circumstances of divorcees or widows but the willful production of children out of wedlock. That distinction is important because, as in the cases of Ms. Attitude and Sarah, divorced mother and daughter of a widow respectively, the intent is to be responsible.

What people (who choose), fail to see, is that Ann is talking about Single woman who CHOOSE to have children out of wedlock, NOT divorcees or widows. Why people can’t grasp that is beyond me. If the people who always critize her would look at the FACTS about what she says (particularly with regard to the devastating effect of illegitimacy on the black community), they would see that she’s right, or at the very least that her words have merit. It really begs the question of why don’t liberals even DEIGN to acknowledge anything ‘right’ about the Right. Maybe it’s because without the poor and downtrodden kept that way, those bleeding-heart limousine liberals would have noon to feel superior to. hmmmm… makes ya wonder…

Watching Ann engage the folks on “The View” or whats-her-name Behar on Larry King Live reminds me of those playground days…she is smarter, better researched, and more clever than the “hosts” so, since we can’t engage her ideas, lets just attack her! Impressive.

JackT: nice use of facts to back up your opinion. What liberals totally miss in their rush to get to an Adam’s apple joke is that what you call “outrageous statements” are actually research-based conclusions.

Mia – Coulter objects to single motherhood on the basis of it’s negative effect on human life. Since abortion is, in her and others’ opinion, the murder of human life, her position isn’t inconsistent at all. Adoption is her alternative solution for women who magically get pregnant. In her book, she goes into a bit of detail about how US Courts have made custody rights so Byzantine that the scores of Americans who are willing to adopt end up adopting babies from other countries.

Unbelievable: The coach of a winning girls team is fired, when his team beats another girls team with a sut out. He does his job and well. His team wins; it is a game and that is the point. The losers cry victim… (wha?) They did know it was a game and they did know that they were supposed to try to win and they did know that both teams cannot win simultaneously. So HE GETS FIRED!!! Fake victims: girl team losers who cry. Their cries of victimhod create REAL VICTIM: coach who loses his job for doing it well.

Then: Ms OctoMom the CLASSIC ANN COULTER DATA POINT!!! She has 6 kids, no job lives with her mother who hasn’t paid the mortgage in 6 months. She has in itro with disbility money, while living off the state, and then delivers 8 more fatherless children. 14 children, now, to be cared for by the state of CA (home of Total Tolerance for All Things Liberal) Her story? She didn’t get much affection as a child (poor victim) and wanted kids to make her feel more loved. Fake victim uses the system to create 14 more REAL VICTIMS – those poor children born to a narcissistic single mother who has kids for her own selfish needs … and … here’s the kicker: SECOND GROUP OF REAL VICTIMC she created (gotta laugh!!) the people of California who will have to pay to support 14 children and an unemployed mother AND grandmother whose mortgage is going into default….. SO rich!

Way to go Annie, Ann seems to have the abbility to make a Dem break out in a cold sweat in -10 degree weather, she can even make them act out in crazy ways, kind of like making a young kid wet their pants with fear, they fear her, not because she is wrong but because she is right and can and will prove it, but first you have to stop acting out and getting loud trying to drown out her voice. After all is that not the Dem way, to make so much noise that the only thing that can be heard is the Dem BS.
Let us face it Ann is Hot, she does speak for a large portion of Rep, as does Rush, she is rich and does not have to worry about money, she does not care what the left has to say about her she speaks her mind, lots of males even though they would not admit it would love to put their shoes in her closet, back in 1776 she would be burned at the stake for being a witch (a free thinker)I for one am very thankful for smart Women like Ann Coulter, and say you go girl.
And look forward to more from Ann and other free thinkers like her.
Love you Ann, and what you are doing for this great country.
This out of wedlock thing is not new, I was taught this in college 10 years ago, why should we attack Ann for saying it when we all know it is true, why do we not instead try to do some thing about it, these children are our future folks, white,black,brown who the hell cares they are Americans — Our Children — we owe it to them to make their life better than ours was, is that happening now, you might just want to ask your self that, is leaving our children to pay up our debts right, this country was founded on beliefs other than that.
It is kind of like shooting doves with a shotgun, you shoot it in their direction you might just hit one, well you throw a Trillian dollars at American you might just help a few out, or make it worse because we do not have the money to begin with, is that not what got us here to begin with, spending money we do not have.

San Francisco, CA

WHY PEDOPHILES ARE FALLING IN LOVE WITH SINGLE MOMS

Pedophiles are learning to love single moms. Not because these predators are changing their sexual preferences, but because many single moms are inadvertently creating happy hunting grounds for that subspecies of pedophiles who like their prey young – really young.

“Think of it” says Crystal the Jacquez, managing editor of Guys That Lie.com, an online back grounding site. “If you’re one of the tens of thousands of pedophiles with a taste for really young kids, how do you get to them? Children under five or six are just too young to be online by themselves.”

“So what does this most dangerous form of pedophiles do?” asks Jacquez, “He surfs social networking sites looking for the pages of proud single mothers just aching to show potential dates how beautiful their children are and just hoping to attract men who will not only will love them, but will love their children too.

Well, the single moms who put photos of their pre-school kids on their social networking homepages are certainly attracting at least one type of child-loving guy – pedophiles”

“And single mothers almost always do it.” says, Jacquez. “Just look at the pages of Facebook and MySpace. It’s not only incredibly dangerous but worse, most single moms have absolutely no idea that it’s dangerous at all!”

Literally, millions of single moms are now on social networks like Facebook and MySpace — and almost all of them proudly show off photos of their kids on their homepages and profiles.

So if you’re a pedophile stalking preschoolers, half an hour of searching out single mothers on social sites and you’ve got a dozen lush candidates – photos and all – just a few key strokes away”.

Not only that, continues Jacquez, “but the predators know that these kids are often protected only by lonely, vulnerable women. WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY! It’s a pedophile’s dream!

Read this excerpt from a report in the journal American Psychologist, published by the American Psychological Association, regarding pedophiles stalking pre-schoolers on the internet:

“Finding prepubescent victims directly (on the Internet) is quite rare; such offenders use the Internet in other ways. Pedophiles typically get access to preschool victims through online contact with parents”

“If you have pictures of your child on line,” says Jacquez, “don’t be too surprised to get a message like the following from some nice sounding guy”:

“Hey! I just saw your profile on Facebook and you are one great looking lady — and that little girl of yours is just marvelous looking! She looks so bright etc. etc. etc!”

“You’re going to have a new best friend very soon,” she says. “Count on it!”

Who hasn’t heard of Lolita, one of the most famous books in America, in which the pedophile gets access to the prepubescent daughter by courting her divorced mother. You can still see the movie on cable TV with James Mason and Shelley Winters as the grown-ups and Sue Lyon as Lolita.?

Jacquez also cites the following statistic from: Offender Characteristics, U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics re. Victim-offender relationships in sexual assault regarding who sexually assaults children under 6 years old.

Who assaults children under 6 years old:

Trusted family members: 48.6%
Strangers: 3.1%
Trusted family acquaintances: 48.3%

“If a pedophile targets your child’s photo on your homepage, trust us,” says Jacquez, “they’ll become a ‘trusted family acquaintance’ soon enough. “

“Don’t close down your social network homepages” Jacquez says. “Just get those photos of your kids off them!”

“One thing more thing,” says Jacquez, “when you meet a new guy online, check him out immediately with us at Guys That Lie.com (www.guysthatlie.com). Our site is free and was built in order to empower women to check out the backgrounds of guys that they meet online.

“First, check our Child Molesters Section where we access the photos and home addresses of over almost 1,000,000 registered sex offenders. Then check him out in our Criminal Records Section. Then check to see if he’s using a phony name. After that, check out all his claims about his background. There is no way,” she says, “that you can be too careful.”

Guys and Lies also has a special page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/guysthatlie and on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/guysthatlie.S

Jacquez asks you to please forward this article to single moms you know who have their kid’s photos online..
