Good message, delivered by a terrible messenger.

She seems unable to actually make a point without hyperbole and insults.

You can’t do without the insults or nobody listens. I am sure the CDC has all kinds of studies about single motherhood just like they do about homosexuality, but nobody pays attention to the facts. But through some fuel on the fire and whalla, people both pro and con are talking about it.

Agree 100%. She is a terrible representative for the Conservative cause. She may be right on most things, but she alienates alot of people just by what she says, including me.

Yeah well...conservatives who do try and make these points by Queen of Marquesberry rules always get attacked and they end up apologizing. I say Ann's style is perfect because she gets liberal's attention.

Yours is a BS statement. Charles Murray said basically the same thing in his book The Bell Curve. It was ignored. Was it not the New York Senator before Hillary who said the same thing back in the 60’s. He was ignored. People have been saying this for but always in the dry language of the academic. The way Ann Coulter says it makes people take notice. It makes people talk. It shakes and wakes people up.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Contrary to most here, I think she's a huckster and a bit of an embarrassment. I put her in the same category as Sheriff Arpaio (another revered FR figure); a grandstanding blowhard looking for the next 15 minutes of fame. She does make some very good points when she's not trying to be edgy and controversial.

And she ain't that great looking either. Adam's apple, that's all I'm saying...

OK, flame away.

Sorry, but my experience says you are wrong!

In general, human beings do not learn the most important lessons in life unless they are wacked up side the head.

This goes double for Liberals and Mush-Headed people.

It is the only way to get them to actually think about what they are doing, why they are doing it, and the consequences of their choices.

Ann Coulter just delivered this important message in the most effective manner possible!

I agree alot with Ann, and yes I wish she wasn’t so sharp tongues, because they hear that, not the message. And yet I find myself considering single motherhood because I have been clinging to the hope of marriage and family and have still never been married. At 36 I feel almost out of time...and it pisses me off to see freak’n teenagers with children and getting by when an adult like me has honestly tried it the old fashion way. I’m no ulgy duckling and I keep getting asked why I’m not married. I’m starting to wonder about adult men and relationships!

while i like Ann Coulter because she is a lot of fun to read and read about, i don't think she's that great of a communicator... i have a hard time "listening" to her when she is on television or the radio... i want to tell her, "spit it out!" she's not quick at formulating her thoughts and relaying her ideas with clear words... i've been complaining about this to my husband since the early days of Fox News... i do think she has guts putting herself out there...

You are so smart, that you just now happened to find FR. Why do you trolls give yourselves away like that? Ann is nothing but conservative, so if she gets your panties in a bunch, go back to DU
