MURDER SPREE BY PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS
January 14, 2009
In a front-page article on Jan. 2 of this year, The New York Times took a brief respite from its ongoing canonization of Barack Obama and returned to its series on violent crimes committed by returning GIs, or as I call it: "U.S. Military, Psycho Killers."
The Treason Times' banner series about Iraq and Afghanistan veterans accused of murder began in January last year but was quickly discontinued as readers noticed that the Times doggedly refused to provide any statistics comparing veteran murders with murders in any other group.
So they waited a year, hoping readers wouldn't notice they were still including no relevant comparisons.
What, for example, is the percentage of murderers among veterans compared to the percentage of murderers in the population at large -- or, more germane, in the general population of young males, inasmuch as violent crime is committed almost exclusively by young men?
Any group composed primarily of young men will contain a seemingly mammoth number of murderers.
Consider the harmless fantasy game, Dungeons and Dragons -- which happens to be played almost exclusively by young males. When murders were committed in the '80s by (1) young men, who were (2) Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts, some people concluded that factor (2), rather than factor (1), led to murderous tendencies.
Similarly, for its series about how America's bravest and finest young men are really a gang of psychopathic cutthroats, the Times triumphantly produced 121 homicides committed by veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in order to pin the blame for the murders on the U.S. military.
Perhaps the Times' next major expose could be on how a huge percentage of murderers are people who won't ask for directions or share the TV remote.
Let's compare murders by veterans to murders by other 18- to 35-year-olds in the U.S. population at large. From 1976 to 2005, 18- to 24-year-olds -- both male and more gentle females -- committed homicide at a rate of 29.9 per 100,000. Twenty-five- to 35-year-olds committed homicides at a rate of 15.8 per 100,000.
Since 9/11, about 1.6 million troops have served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. That makes the homicide rate among veterans of these wars 7.6 per 100,000 -- or about one-third the homicide rate for their age group (18 to 35) in the general population of both sexes.

"Unwed Mothers are not the Victims their babies are."
Come January, these veterans and soldiers become Obamas veterans and soldiers. The MSM should take note of criticizing his charges.
I remember seeing a Bill Mauldin cartoon about Willie and Joe back from WWII.
Joe is setting at the table reading a newspaper whose front page screams “SOLDIER SLAPS AUNT!”
He says to his wife..”Here is a story of a triple axe murder on page 6. No GIs involved."
QUOTATIONS FROM CHAIRMAN ANN January 13, 2009, 11:16 PM THE PERSONAL QUESTION INTERVIEW YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! -
Ann Coulter: The FishbowlDC Interview
EXCERPT:
What did you have for breakfast?
My usual: 6-egg omelette, pound of bacon, six pancakes, toast, gallon of orange juice -- wait, that was Jerry Nadler's breakfast. I had a grapefruit.
What one toiletry item could you not live without?
My straight razor. Long story.
If you could have one superpower, which one would it be?
The ability to decipher Barack Obama's speech on race relations. Or, maybe x-ray vision.
Red or white wine?
Yes.
...But as long as the Times has such a burning interest in the root causes of murder, how about considering the one factor more likely to create a murderer than any other?That is the topic we're not allowed to discuss: single motherhood.
As I describe in my new book, "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America," controlling for socioeconomic status, race and place of residence, the strongest predictor of whether a person will end up in prison is that he was raised by a single parent. (The second strongest factor is owning a Dennis Kucinich bumper sticker.)
By 1996, 70 percent of inmates in state juvenile detention centers serving long-term sentences were raised by single mothers. Seventy percent of teenage births, dropouts, suicides, runaways, juvenile delinquents and child murderers involve children raised by single mothers. Girls raised without fathers are more sexually promiscuous and more likely to end up divorced.
A 1990 study by the left-wing Progressive Policy Institute showed that, after controlling for single motherhood, the difference in black and white crime disappeared...

Ann Coulter was on The View today [1/12/09], of which four of the five co-hosts are single mothers, a role that Coulter criticizes in her new book Guilty.As you can imagine, it wasn't pretty.
Whoopi — who, as you'll remember, threatened to beat up Coulter last week — referred to Coulter's left-hating persona as "an act," and went on to tell her that she was personally offended by Coulter's sentiments about single mothers in Hollywood...

The Link by the title is Ann Coulter's visit with the crew of The View.
This Link is to the video of the ladies gossiping about Ann and her book for over 6 minutes before they even brought her out.
When she was finally invited to the table, she did a credible job of disputing their false claims about her and the book, in spite of their constant interrupting and over talking...
Wow!
I met Bill Mauldin several times, through his sons. He was an old fashioned lefty-liberal who loved America and respected those who protected it. Not too many of those around anymore.
Wow! That is a pure vindication of the "black community." It has only been 19 years since the study I wonder if the MSM will be reporting that any time soon to show their support of the "black community?"
...after controlling for single motherhood, the difference in black and white crime disappeared...That is one of the statistics from Chapter Two of Ann's new book.Wow!
Actually the black on white crime, especially women is astounding...see above link.
