Ann Coulter's Wrong on Illegitimacy Rates
My latest piece “Coulter’s Wrong on Illegitimacy Rates”, is on WorldNetDaily. You can read it here.
In her column this week, “Goodbye, America! It was fun while it lasted“, Ann made a major factual error suggesting that welfare reform resulted in greatly reduced illegitimacy — our social problems resolved.
This rumor has been running in conservative circles for years. It is a dangerously self-defeating old-wives tale preventing them from realizing what they missed in welfare reform — the marriage-positive aspects.
This is one reason why Republicans keep losing elections: they have no positions on social issues.

David respectfully I disagree as republicans who are so utterly naive do indeed have positions on social issues they just happen to be the wrong positions…

Thank you David, for pointing this out. Changing the distribution still leaves the basic question where the money growing trees have gone (and what was before those trees).
