Posted: 2/1/2009 9:40:10 AM | I know nothing of this woman, but it sounds like a social -economic problem coupled with disparity and the breaking down of the "family unit" reflecting by a decline of moral fiber and poor self image.
I would suggest single fathers equally share some blame in this decline.
For every bad single mother I know personally, I know 50 goods ones.
For every bad single father I know personally, I know 10 good ones.
That said, if the author wishes to focus on just a part of the problem is understandable, for by nature, it being very large and required in depth consideration.
There is rarely one reason for the existence for many things.
Why must women carry a disproportionate burden of child bearing?
Why must women be stuck with the mundane duties of running a household.
I'm sucking up here ~ on a roll!
We ( society ) places unreal expectation on women in this day and age, is my personal belief.
And above all , women are the ones most guilty of this, accounting for the book.

Ann Coulter--again--is in the business of entertainment. She is not a sociologist--I'm not even sure she has a soul--she is not an expert in the field of the socio-economic struggles of single mothers.
She is, however, an expert in the field of inciting readers and listeners to a passionate level of, "See?! I told you they were out to get me!" paranoia. Those self-satisfied finger-pointers who make outrageous declarations regarding certain populations of our citizenry without proof. | |

Attacking her physical appearance? So if she were say, Jessica Simpson-esque then her message would be more palatable, or would you advise her to put down the sandwich?
It’s still the same tired partisan schpill, attack the messenger by any means necessary; character, physical appearance, anything at all to divert attention from the actual message for which no reasonable defense can be offered…
I'm sure there's many that like to see her emaciated appearance but my point was that the woman needs medical attention both physical and mental.
Funny how the paranoid can perceive that as an attack.
Her blaming single moms for society's ills is just as stupid as blaming society for creating single moms' ills. | |

Lets see... in the past two posts, you've insulted her appearance 4 times and insisted she required medical attention for your diagnosis ... I believe you prescribed a sandwich... must be that holistic medicine I've heard so much about.
She needs a sandwich!
You’ve attacked her personal appearance and basically declared mental instability as a result of your diagnosis … In neither post did you address the issue, only your opinion of her appearance.
Her overly ectomorphic frame matches her cerebrotonic attitude of looking down on those she doesn't approve of.
If one considers that an insult it's an indication of their own paranoia? 
I would suggest she seeks a doctor about anorexia or some other illness that is eating away at her. She doesn't need to see a Doctor, you've already diagnosed her illness...
However, I think like most anorexics, she thinks it's everyone else in the world thats wrong and thinks she's in perfect health and has to maintain her mean, stubborn appearance to shield the insignificant feelings that drive her to hold outrageous positions. 
If I was one to take things out of context, I could show that to be a text book example of paranoia. Fortunately I'm not, nor am I a Doctor, so you'll have to perform a self diagnosis, hopefully you'll prescribe yourself something from at least one of your favorite food groups.
The assertion that children with these issues are limited to single parent homes is NOT what she said, she is merely saying statistically the issues are significantly increased in children of single mothers, and that the moral lapse in society and the absence of promoting the nuclear family concept is to blame for the dramatic increase in the ratio of single mothers. It’s not a shell game, it’s merely connecting the dots. If you want to decrease the number of children with criminal tendencies, then treat the cause, not the symptoms. Selecting the demographic with the highest rate of offense and focusing attention on them seems like common sense to me, but then again I’ve always thought doing things to keep your children out of jail and off of drugs was far cheaper than bailing them out of jail and paying for drug rehab … maybe I need a sandwich too….

Thats not what the text of the book indicates at all. Ann Coulter has a history of running her mouth off in an insulting manner. I mean this is the woman who has accused hetrosexual men of opposing politics of being closet homosexuals, even married ones who have been busted for adultery with other women. | |

Posted: 2/3/2009 5:33:35 AM | So Charles, this Ann Coulter carries with her a history of callous flaming of stereotypes?
For what purpose does she do this? ~ to what end? and to who does it ultimately serve?
It appears some posters are considering the source and discounting Ann Colters' premise.
Like I would the author of this "News Flash" listed below.
"The 2008 election showed how much the Republican Party has fumbled — and fallen — since the glory days of Ronald Reagan."
"But the GOP's power can be restored if it renews its focus on the party's core values."
People can say anything the want too, ~ but in no way does it make it so. They are looking for someone to agree with them, by validating statements with false premise and circular reasoning, pulling selective stats out of the air and making sweeping predictions.
I think that the American people tire of this trend and ignore it no longer after being quite for many years. We tire of people failing to offer resolve and resolution but only contempt and consignation.
These flamers types ~ need to have their act together and be prepaired to make a strong case.
It's very hard to raise children and work too ~ for men or women!

Check it out and you can see this woman's diatribes against 'liberals' in her book section.
Rush loves her and would only need 1/2 of one of his viagra pills to pop a woody for her, they speak in the same style.

Yeah? I don't think it's right wingers alone putting her on top of the all the bestseller lists. There must be at least some lefties buying her stuff. If only to sit around and disect it and whine about how wrong she is, how anoexic she looks, and if she's trangendered or not. | |

I agree. They did a study a couple years ago on lions to see how the cubs would react to the absence of their father. When they took a lion out of its pride for a week the cubs started acting up. It was not until the lion was put back into its pride again that the cubs stopped acting up. | |

Posted: 2/4/2009 7:26:26 AM | Personally I'd agrue that absentee fathers bear more than 50% of the problem. In too many cases mothers are doing their best to raise their children alone while the fathers are doing nothing.

Posted: 2/4/2009 8:41:31 AM | Interesting, I was watching this "wild life program .
In this Area of Africa , ~ restricted and control area. ~ Seem that some young bull elephants were killing Hippo's for sport. ~~ the area being void of old Tuskers, they imported a few old bull tusker's and set them loose to keep the young males in line,
It worked! ~ It takes a family to raise children well. ~
Now , who's being hard to get along with here? Him or Her?
I've got my stories ~ I sure you got yours too!
I've found women quick to cut and run is tough times. Yet I wonder could I have handled it better? What did I fail to do? ~ fail to say?
So this Ann Coulter can tell me? hmm? one smart chick, she married?

Nope, never was she's been engaged a few times but guys can't take it after a while and take off (another thing that happens to anorexics)
She was even engaged to a democrat, probably after not being able to find a republican to date. Maybe that's why she wrote the book "How to talk to a liberal, if you have to" | |

We all need to take stock in the fact, we "all" depend on others good will and good wishes.

Yeah I saw that one too not too long ago on Animal Planet. I forgot what the show was called, but it was really interesting and just goes to show you how a father figure plays a big role in a child’s behavior and development. | |

The problems she places at the doorsteps of single mothers are also present in two-parent families Yes but to less degree and the fact that 50% of those families are going to break up any way. | |

My children were raised in a two-parent home, and we were not without our share of major issues.

Posted: 2/5/2009 1:45:28 AM | Noted; ~~ and it's true ! how can such damaged be assessed?
When my little family came apart. the boy had just turned 15 and I sure hated to let him go , right when I felt he needed my guidance the most ~ however my hands were tied in the matter. ~
How much of a different would it had made, ~ had I been there, ~ and would it be worth it?
Being a step-son , though raised as my own ~ needless to say he favored his mother. Mother was Mother! I do understand that. ~ Dad's the hard ass! Both him and mom didn't like dad much at the time.
I didn't hear from him for 13 years, ~ Called me just before Christmas and thanked me for his raising. ~~ I wasn't done with him at the time, but school was over.
It clouded me up ~~~~~~~~ 13 years is a long time to wait.
The Ex had hooked up with a Marine that had been rough with her ~ she'd just buried him, ~ I didn't ask why ~ I suppose he died!
Lukie had married a woman with two children and was getting his paybacks.
Life moves on ~ we live with what we say and do.

Having two parents in the home does not guarantee children any advantage over a single-parent household. You had more than one to go through "issues" with. You were not alone. 2 are more than one. When I had a problem with Dad I still had Mom and visa versa but I had a lot of friends who only had one parent. They got jipped. They would tell you theirself I'm sure esp if you are in law enforcement or part of the jury.
AC's stats are right my stats are right my view of children in brooken homes does not make me upset with the mom she is doing the right thing taking care of her child unless she is one of the sick women who use the kid I once got mad at the man thinking how could he not be there for his kid until I came to understand dad's rights laws are not on the book in a lot of states so some men have no choice. If a child has a network of people it has a better chance at living a productive life.
Dance I am sorry about the 13 years you lost It is nice to know your time is not up just changing tempo. | |

Wrong.
The ex-husband was part of the problem. He didn't want to discipline our children--he wanted to be their 'friend'. I was very much alone when it came to rules and consistency. They had a playmate, but not a father.
I reiterate, having two parents in the home does not guarantee the children will be raised in a healthy environment. | |

Can you please post your stats, since I have already proven Ann's stats are crap.
No.... at the very most you have shown that there is a possibility her stats are crap. I agree with you, sometimes statistics are misleading. Maybe in this case the statistics that you have reffered to (the ones saying that the crime rate is going down while the rate of single mothers are going up) are the ones that are misleading. There are countless reasons why it may appear the crime rate is dropping (ie: soft on crime judges, smarter criminals, indifferent police or prosecutors... etc.)
I happen to think that the proliferation of single parent households is by nature leading to more children being raised in poverty. Even if there were no such thing as deadbeat dads (in dreamland), single mothers are still going to have more struggles financially. And so will the men paying child support. What arguments have you shown where poverty is the cause of single parenthood instead of the other way around? | |

Posted: 2/7/2009 5:38:22 AM | | In September 2002, Washington Post columnist Lloyd Grove wrote a column titled, "Mystery of the Ages", raising questions about Coulter's actual date of birth.[73] At the time, Coulter was insisting that she was not yet 40, despite media reports to the contrary. Attempting to resolve the discrepancy, Grove noted that Coulter had given her date of birth as December 8, 1961 when she first registered to vote in 1980 (the year of the Reagan-vs-Carter presidential election), in New Canaan, Connecticut, where the legal voting age is 18. He said that Coulter's Connecticut driver's license also listed her birth date as December 1961, but pointed out that a driver's license issued to her years later in Washington, D.C., gave her date of birth as December 1963. | |

I can piont to the part of the post that said 50% of those homes will break I am sorry you made a poor chioce for a husband a lot of women do. The choice was yours to make as was having a child out of wedlock or leaving the guy was the choice of the single moms she was talking about.
I hold on to MO that two are best for the child and will not cloud it with the what if the guy was _________ . My nephew was a single dad and it breaks my heart to see to hoops single parents have to jump through but I am proud that he never has let his boy down and the fact that he made a poor choice is still there. There are a lot of men willing to father a child from any girl willing to take it. A wise woman thinks before she lays down. A smart woman takes into account results of such an action. | |

Some have said it often ..... 6 pages of replies to this topic make and confirm the post ... entertainment and notariety. Nothing quite like ruffling feathers.
I stopped watching the thread but I just had to come back cause I really could not figure out what was left to say ..... I have discovered ... nothing... just repeating over and over now. | |
