Imagine our country with about 40,000,000 more D'Andres, L'Trayvons, QuiNishas, Ne'Shelles, Kendricks, JayMarquans, D'Shauntraviouses, Jamarqeeziuses, etc. and tell me if you want to live there.
Forty. Million. About double what it is now.
We've lost the luxury of placing morality at the forefront of these debates. It's all strictly practical now. Do we want to have our own country or not?
Well, I'll acknowledge that it's not dinner party material, but it's an important topic we need to be realistic about. As for 'hateful language', it seems that I'm winning the 'popular vote' on that one so far - let's see how many people agree with you.
All I have to say is welfare causes crime. Cancel it holding out only the earned income credit and you’ll solve at least 50% of future prison populations.
No insults here, just a statement of fact - 40 million more of the most troublesome, problematic element in our society is a recipe for total collapse.
You are exactly right. You see it. I see it. Everybody sees it. The scolding you get is from those who who want the truth buried. They are trash as well.
What a mean response. We are "trash" according to you because we disagree? What the f is that all about? I'm the child of a veteran who fought for your right to call me "trash." Wow.
The website is dedicated to spreading theories based on fear and not facts. JA, I'm not a hippie dippy liberal. I'm someone who strives to rely on facts and decency. The crime rate is terrible, I agree. But everyone kills everyone and that happens everywhere. Whether because of religious beliefs, claims to lands, for business, for whatever. But grouping people together as being the worst minority of that group, is just not right.
Without morality you have nothing. It is never OK to commit the crime of killing the weakest and most innocent among us. Rationalize that at your own peril. Edit: Or I was in another comment. I've just replied to JA, I know your position.
It's not my position. I'm merely explaining why we have been slaughtered when the tiniest abortion restriction is put to a vote of the people. I didn't expect it - I thought we'd have a patchwork of abortion restrictions in states around the country. That's not happening. States that Trump won by 15 or 20 points are passing wildly liberal pro-abortion laws. I'm merely explaining why I think that is so. The original sin is the welfare state. As long as we have a welfare state -- i.e. for eternity - we will have majorities continuing to vote for abortion. We will also have the most useless wastes of space immigrating here to get on the gravy train, but that's another topic.
Ann Coulter, we are not pro-abortion, we are pro girls+women's rights over our bodies. Yes, that includes abortion when the girl/woman was raped or the pregnancy puts her in danger for her life. How people continue to resent the rights of girls and women is primitive. What are you all: Talibans?
"I’d rather save the kids and leave the drug addicts to their own devices, but apparently, that’s not an option in a cradle-to-grave welfare state that seems to think it’s of vital importance to keep drug addicts alive"...and apparently keep them fertile and reproducing.
Shame on me for wishing to keep more of my earnings for my own family's medical care and education.
Perhaps it is time to recoin an over-used liberal mantra...The perpetual sponges should pay their fair share!
Abortion is one of the few eugenic programs we have left in society, as more PoC are aborted then are whites. Thus, abortion is a net positive for society. Every other policy around us is strongly Dysgenic and only increases the numbers of blacks and Hispanics and other low IQ third world individuals faster and faster. Leave abortion alone! It reduces the numbers of blacks in society so leave it alone please!
That said, while abortion puts a slight slowdown in the Dysgenic decline, Dysgenics is a freight train that is not going to stop. The only thing that could stop it is an equally strong EUGENICS PROGRAM: https://childfreebc.com/candidates/ or CBC - private, voluntary, strongly EUGENIC. This appears to be picking up steam. I've donated and personally sterilized four genetic rejects. And I donate monthly, regularly. If all conservatives and whites did this, we could wipe out blacks and Hispanics from the face of the Earth.
Ann Coulter and Heather McDonald talk a lot about illegitimacy and POC, it would be amazing if they could do a video about CBC and spread the word and get them more donations. This is the only way we can save the West at this point folks.
Modern Darwin is rather direct, but his preferred plan doesn't involve "stopping a beating heart." but stopping the pregnancies of people who shouldn't be getting pregnant in the first place. Wouldn't it be better than getting pregnant over and over again and using abortion as birth control? A gynecologist I know who used to work in Brooklyn told me this weekend that he had scores of patients who'd had MORE THAN 20 ABORTIONS. One woman -- the record holder -- had had 36. We'd have a lot fewer abortions if we gave away free vasectomies , tubal ligations and norplant. (What ever happened to norplant?)
I assume by "give away" you mean taxpayer funded? Of course this would be great, but A. The Dems who now control the country would never go for it, bc all those Dysgenic babies are their future voters, and B. Free might still not be enough to entice Laquisha and Tyrone to do it. CBC addresses both those issues... it's all donor funded, and Laquisha and Tyrone get paid to get their sterilization procedures. I'll tell you what I personally fully funded Candidates there -- 3 males & 1 female -- and they got sterilized. When I was notified about that I had a sense of satisfaction that have never had donating toward politicians or commentators, as I know that my donation prevented 5-10 downstream Dysgenic babies from entering the world. The CBC donor video -- https://childfreebc.com/donors/ -- claims that every unintended child cost society $26M over it's lifetime. So I saved society $100-200M!
I'm extremely cynical that voting is gonna save us at this point. The #'s of low IQ, dysgenic voters is just too high, insuperable. Whites are only a small minority worldwide, but collectively we still control much of the private wealth. A small fraction of that donated to CBC could, in theory, sterilize almost all blacks and other PoC. And yes, dramatically reduce abortions too.
Ah yes I agree with you on that. My comment was in regard to abortion. It is their choice to sterilize themselves, I see nothing wrong with that if it is voluntary.
Interesting take. What exactly is so immoral about CBC? It's entirely voluntary; no one is forcing anyone to do anything. And you do realize that illegitimacy is incredibly harmful to both the mother and father? So if they want to opt out of childbirth, but don't have the money to pay for a sterilization procedure, what's wrong with someone funding that for them?
I see. So our fundamental disagreement is that you believe that blacks, hispanics, middle easterners, village Indians and Chinese etc can be "lifted up" through education, opportunities, positive environment, etc. I otoh believe that nature >>> nurture, and no matter how many trillions more we spend on that stuff, the result will be the same... they will ruin every society they are a part of.
That said, I agree with you... abortion is killing unborn babies, and I wish we didn't have to do it. But if it prevents more low IQ PoC from entering the world, I begrudgingly support it. I support CBC strongly, bc writ large, it would prevent a tremendous amount of abortion.
To start with, I support measures that will strengthen the position for people of european origin. That said I also support the true education of colored people instead of welfare, which destroys people and benefits no one. I mean the kind of education where they will not need welfare but be capable races in their own right.
I applaud your idealism. And of course you are right, welfare (like all redistribution) is dysgenic. Blacks were way, way, way better off in the 50's before the Dems starting redistributing to them. Generations of handouts has destroyed the black family and black culture entirely. But they are voting Democrat, and that was the point all along... The Democrat Plantation.
I disagree with you that they can coexist in advanced society with any other races. They are meant to run and hunt and dance on the African Savannah, not to sit at desks and behind cash registers. If you took a baby lion into your home and attempted to domesticate it, things may be ok for a while. But then, one day, he bites into Grandma's neck and kills her. I would argue that that was your fault, not the lion's. You can't change evolution. Btw all the Founding Fathers, and later even Lincoln, agreed with me on this. While many saw slavery as wrong, none thought that blacks could live amongst whites as equals. Lincoln wanted to end slavery yes, but he believed in colonization, i.e. sending them all to Hispaniola.
I never said anything about multi-culturalism, just that those of truly superior genetics would not aim to kill and rob their lesser but to enrich them through education. Anyway, are you saying that we hav evolved to sit behind a desk all day and type on a computer? Hahahaha.
I'm talking about your advocacy of abortion. That is something that is their choice. I know your line of thought with what you say and your moniker 'modern darwin'. Let me say that someone of truly superior genetic heritage would not use his advantage to kill his lesser but the inverse. They would lift the lowly up through education instead of plot their murder.
Rather than "bring forth children to the murderer," Hosea prayed that God would give the Israelites "a miscarrying womb and dry breasts." And this was his own tribe, mind you. Those whose cultures and conduct consign their children to doom should not be forced to reproduce; and we most certainly should not shoulder the burden of these peoples.
It's only taken feminists about 50 years to destroy 2000 years of Western culture. It's a shame we can't parachute a few planeloads of them into the Middle East. Whatever the outcome, it could only be an improvement.
Here's a solution: All men must freeze their sperm and then get vasectomies. Take the woman's body out of the equation. (The GOP will never go for it. They rely on abortion issue to keep losing elections and therefore the country).
This will sound heartless but abortion now has its place considering that America has an increasing problem with a low IQ, drug addicted and crime prone segment of the population. The militant evangelicals like to believe that every baby is a blessing but some of those babies are born with criminal traits that will manifest themselves at a certain age.
The post 1965 welfare state has exploded the population of urban poor whereas before they had to limit their families to match their means.
Ann's been right on the abortion issue but strangely thinks Ron DeSantis is a shoo in for the presidency when he signed the strictest abortion law in the nation and bragged about it. The Dems would hit him between the eyes on that issue and scare undecided voters who tend to support abortion "rights". DeSantis has no chance due to his abortion stance.
I agree that the dumbest thing D ever did was sign that 6-wk abortion limit. It's not going to save babies; to the contrary, it's going to get a lot more babies killed, and in the most grotesque manner possible. The 6-week limit will be blocked by the courts, then an initiative will be put to the voters -- there's no question but that this will happen -- and the people will vote for an insanely liberal abortion amendment to be put in the state constitution forever.
On the other hand -- AS DOBBS FOUND AND NINO SCALIA TOLD US FOR 40 YEARS -- abortion is not in the constitution. It's not a federal issue. Congress has no authority to pass a law on abortion, and the president has no constitutional authority to sign such a law. (Other than on subsidiary issues, such as whether the taxpayers will be forced to pay for abortions. Currently, they cannot thanks to The Hyde Amendment). So you may hate what D did in FL on abortion, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with his presidential run.
Thanks for the reply. The problem with the average voter is that most of them don't understand the nuance you included in your second paragraph and think SCOTUS granted a constitutional right to abortion in 1973 (SCOTUS has no authority to grant rights) and that a "right wing" SCOTUS took it away when all they were doing was returning the matter back to the states to decide among their voters.
That a federal ban on abortion would get struck down even by a "right wing" SCOTUS doesn't matter. The Dems and their lying media outlets will scare ignorant voters by telling them that DeSantis will institute a nationwide ban and they will believe it. After all these are the same people who believed that Trump colluded with Russia and urinated on prostitutes and that systemic white racism prevents black people from getting advanced degrees and becoming millionaires. Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter.
Thank you for follow up on a civil rights issue Ann. Grew up in “control group” of potential, possible genetic versus non genetic addictive tendencies. (adopted siblings, generational drinking (‘60’s, 70’s 80’s) by parents—as well as consuming doctor prescribed maintenance meds.) No simple answers. Environment is as important if not more than heredity. Agree. In some states, the cradle to grave state is the only answer to their welfare survival. Not personal welfare either……
I think it is correct when some say the most important factor in the well-being of a child is whether or not the parents are together and married. People like to be pompous and say that problem only effects the dumb black people...they couldn't be more wrong. The solution is bringing back christian ethics and morality, even to a lot of contemporary christians that are without them today.
Addiction is not a moral failing nor the result of laziness. People with addictions need saving. My tax money is well spent when people who need help, get help. If I could withhold my tax money from those stupid trumpster reps and senators, I would.
Addiction has a strong genetic component so it makes sense that an addict not reproduce. That is especially true when addicts give birth to infants who are already brain damaged by the drugs. I wish I could withhold money from the morally depraved Democrats who promote the welfare state that enables people to become addicts. If more people had to work to survive they would be less inclined to take drugs.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what's so stupid about libertarians wanting to legalize drugs. Yeah, fine -- as soon as I don't have to pay for their housing, food, medical care and endless rounds of "rehab" that never work.
This. My stance is the same about junk and processed food. When I see a fat person eating junk food, i have to resist the temptation to smack it out of his hand... bc there's a downstream healthcare cost to that pizza he's eating, and I'm gonna have to pay it. US healthcare is a giant redistribution racket... low IQ, non-taxpayers eat junk and get fat and sick. High IQ taxpayers like us stay lean and healthy. The latter group pays for the former's "health"care in the form of Medicare, Medicaid, hospital subsidies, and higher insurance premiums. The former group, in return, votes Democrat. Around $2T is spent doing this every year, with the big 4 profting... hospitals, pharma, insurance, medical devices. And of course those fat & sick Democrat voting patients never actually get "better," they just stay in the sick-but-not-too-sick zone so the gravy train can continue.
Healthcare will never be "solved" with policy or Apple watches or FitBits or whatever. It, like most of our problems, is a Dysgenics problem.
The welfare state is broken; too many generations rely on it as a matter of course. It is frustrating that my tax dollars are given to people who should be working and also paying taxes. Welfare is for extreme cases of mental distress or physical injury. It has become, because of cowering Democrats, a way of living -- albeit in poverty.
The earned income credit is the only welfare I’ll ever endorse.
Plenty of organizations would be happy to provide food and paper goods for needy people but other than that they can work to provide for themselves, and give their fatherless babies up for adoption by a loving two parent family.
I agree. I think welfare only works if it's by private, direct charity, with ZERO taxpayer $$. Everything else is a scam. (Including the earned income tax credit, which sounded great, but ended up being counterproductive.)
Precisely, there was no state-sponsored welfare till around 100 years ago, but the indignant did receive charity payments and food etc from the church. Then, the quid pro quo for this was to worship and fear god and follow his tenets. Now, with state-sponsored welfare in its many forms, their god is Government, and the quid pro quo is to vote Democrat. I gotta admit, it's a brilliant and effective vote-buying racket. This is also the reason that I think we are past the point of no return for voting to save us; the #'s of the takers on this dole is simply too high. And given how exponential growth works, it will get worse, fast.
I had a Trotskyite friend from NY who always said he was happy to pay taxes for environmental programs, but not for the military. He never understood that the immorality of taxes is that the extorted taxpayers don't make the choice--the extorting taxers do. The thieves decide, not the victim, and the chance that their priorities match yours is very near zero. Beyond that, experience shows the money is never well spent--criminals and governments are notoriously careless with other people's money (10% to the big guy!, etc.).
YES! -- <<Beyond that, experience shows the money is never well spent--criminals and governments are notoriously careless with other people's money (10% to the big guy!, etc.).>>

There's no right to take another person's life without due process of law or self defense.
Oh I know that Ann. I'm talking about the average voter.
Pregnant drug addicts should be encouraged if not forced to abort. Anyone who can't see why is detached from reality.
“gentle persuasion”
The average voter, and politician for that matter, needs to park their car at about 5:00 AM across from a methadone clinic.
No NYT article can replace what will be seen over the course of the next 2 hours.
most abortions are black, most abortions are done with a pill early in pregnancy.
Who wants to change that? Sanger wanted to stop black reproduction - so why doesn't bLM oppose abortions?
I don't smoke, drink, or gamble but they are all legally permitted .
Sterilize the low IQ, dysgenic masses: https://childfreebc.com/candidates/ - private, voluntary, strongly EUGENIC. Donate & share. Save the West.

Looks like you and rathatman are good friends.
What a hateful thing to say. Thanks to feminists, your mother can vote. Girls can play sports. Be doctors and save you. And so much more. Wow!
All of that is good, except the voting part.
Errr, they are worse doctors too. Unduly influenced by "feelz".

The solution is bringing back christian ethics and morality, even to a lot of contemporary christians that are without them today.

Addiction is not a moral failing nor the result of laziness. People with addictions need saving. My tax money is well spent when people who need help, get help. If I could withhold my tax money from those stupid trumpster reps and senators, I would.
No one made them take drugs the first time. And once addicted, they're useless. Nancy Reagan was right: Just Say No.
Addiction has a strong genetic component so it makes sense that an addict not reproduce. That is especially true when addicts give birth to infants who are already brain damaged by the drugs. I wish I could withhold money from the morally depraved Democrats who promote the welfare state that enables people to become addicts. If more people had to work to survive they would be less inclined to take drugs.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what's so stupid about libertarians wanting to legalize drugs. Yeah, fine -- as soon as I don't have to pay for their housing, food, medical care and endless rounds of "rehab" that never work.
This. My stance is the same about junk and processed food. When I see a fat person eating junk food, i have to resist the temptation to smack it out of his hand... bc there's a downstream healthcare cost to that pizza he's eating, and I'm gonna have to pay it. US healthcare is a giant redistribution racket... low IQ, non-taxpayers eat junk and get fat and sick. High IQ taxpayers like us stay lean and healthy. The latter group pays for the former's "health"care in the form of Medicare, Medicaid, hospital subsidies, and higher insurance premiums. The former group, in return, votes Democrat. Around $2T is spent doing this every year, with the big 4 profting... hospitals, pharma, insurance, medical devices. And of course those fat & sick Democrat voting patients never actually get "better," they just stay in the sick-but-not-too-sick zone so the gravy train can continue.
Healthcare will never be "solved" with policy or Apple watches or FitBits or whatever. It, like most of our problems, is a Dysgenics problem.
The welfare state is broken; too many generations rely on it as a matter of course. It is frustrating that my tax dollars are given to people who should be working and also paying taxes. Welfare is for extreme cases of mental distress or physical injury. It has become, because of cowering Democrats, a way of living -- albeit in poverty.
The earned income credit is the only welfare I’ll ever endorse.
Plenty of organizations would be happy to provide food and paper goods for needy people but other than that they can work to provide for themselves, and give their fatherless babies up for adoption by a loving two parent family.
I agree. I think welfare only works if it's by private, direct charity, with ZERO taxpayer $$. Everything else is a scam. (Including the earned income tax credit, which sounded great, but ended up being counterproductive.)
Precisely, there was no state-sponsored welfare till around 100 years ago, but the indignant did receive charity payments and food etc from the church. Then, the quid pro quo for this was to worship and fear god and follow his tenets. Now, with state-sponsored welfare in its many forms, their god is Government, and the quid pro quo is to vote Democrat. I gotta admit, it's a brilliant and effective vote-buying racket. This is also the reason that I think we are past the point of no return for voting to save us; the #'s of the takers on this dole is simply too high. And given how exponential growth works, it will get worse, fast.
I had a Trotskyite friend from NY who always said he was happy to pay taxes for environmental programs, but not for the military. He never understood that the immorality of taxes is that the extorted taxpayers don't make the choice--the extorting taxers do. The thieves decide, not the victim, and the chance that their priorities match yours is very near zero. Beyond that, experience shows the money is never well spent--criminals and governments are notoriously careless with other people's money (10% to the big guy!, etc.).
