Ann Coulter
Ann Coulter is the author of six New York Times best sellers. She is a major republican and has written many books bashing democrats. I can let that go. Everyone has their right to an opinion. This is America after all.
Her latest book is not about bashing democrats but single mothers. Blaming the crime rates and violence in America on single mothers themselves. I always try to look at all sides of an issue. Try to understand where they might be coming from. While I understand maybe her research proves a thing are too I don’t understand what her research solves. I am having trouble taking it all in.
Anyways..
Check out my 5mins post today. Give me your insights. I could sure use them.
While you are at it check out this mommas response.

Was that a Freudian slip that you said “incite” instead of “insight?”

Sorry, I couldn’t watch the whole clip; don’t like that show ’cause everybody talks over everybody else.
I don’t know where she got those statistics from; for all I know 80 or 70% (or whatever it was) of all inmates do come from single mothers. But I never heard what the percentage of children of single mothers is who didn’t go to jail. (Not entirely sure I worded that correctly…) I’m sure you do a great job! I would think that the inmates she was talking about have mothers who either didn’t care enough to raise them right or had issues of their own (drug abuse, etc.)
Being a parent is a hard job… I imagine being a single parent is even harder!

Being a criminal is a choice. A choice to take the easy way in life. To not work for what you need, like the rest of us choose to do.
I was raised by a single mom. I’ve got two younger brothers and none of us ended up in jail. I think Ann is an idiot who sprouts off numbers out of her head. Criminals made the choice to do whatever they did. You can’t just blame it on single moms as a whole, it’s just unfair.
Cassie, I have just started reading your site, so I don’t really know you at all. But you shouldn’t worry about what other people think. Just keep raising that beautiful boy the best you can. I’m sure he’ll end up great. The thing is, my mom was married when I was born, but getting divorced two years later when my brothers were born. They’d been married 6 years before I was even conceived. There are no guarantees in life. If a woman wants to have kids, with or without a husband, she should. The stigma is outdated and needs to go away. As does Ann Coulter. Hell, most of my friends were raised by single moms. Not a criminal in the bunch. :)
