| Ann Coulter visited Sean Hannity‘s show Monday night to discuss President Obama‘s recent cabinet picks as well as his possible actions on gun control. Coulter said she had just come back from England where they have “not bought into” the “diversity enthusiasm” of the States. “The liberals,” Coulter claimed, are “pushing and pushing and pushing” to have more mass murderers of color. “If you compare white populations, we have the same murder rate as Belgium,” Coulter said. “So perhaps it’s not a gun problem, it’s a demographic problem.” (Snip) Hannity asked the conservative commentator what she thought

#2, those sorts of studies and portions of studies have been available for decades. FBI yearly stats are available or used to be with race listed, tabulated and summarized. The last study I bothered to read years ago was mentioned in an article titled "A Tale of two cities" or something close - compared Vancouver and Seattle. She´s right. LPs don´t like that kind of truth getting out though.

Why does Whitey carry the quilt of black on black murders? Is it time to hold Jackson, Sharpton and King responsible for their failed leadership & policies? As liberals buried the family, from the ashes came chaos

Can´t be, we all know the big cities with high murder rates are almost 100% white and its only due to no gun laws of any kind, AP and the rest say so.

Well its a sure thing in the city of Chicago that if black people did not own guns, both legally and illegally, that the murder rate there would now be insignificant compared to the rate of criminal homicide that is happening there today, that´s a fact.

Not only do blacks commit half the murders in this country but they are responsible for half of all violent crime...rape, robbery, etc.
And most are black males or roughly 7% of our population doing 50% of the violent crime.
These are FBI statistics not mine but it´s certainly obvious why blacks make up half of our prison population.

Heh, let´s just compare really populous countries. Browsing the Wackypedia. We need to remove China from the listing since their official homicide rates are probably as truthful as their official defense budgets. For some reason, India´s official rate is about 1/4 lower than ours. Indonesia´s rate is almost twice as high. Then we get to Brazil - it´s *five times* as high as ours. Then another suspiciously low rate in Pakistan, a little *less* homicidal than Indonesia but still twice as bad as us.
"Homicide" frequently includes suicide, since it is a human-caused death.
So, among highly-populated countries who more-or-less honestly report their homicide rates, only India has a lower rate. Brazil is a homicidal hellhole.
Waiting for Duh International Media to start pounding on Brazil. Waiting. Waiting....

Someone should look at the crime rates (including murder) for blacks BEFORE the 1960s, when the country began to excuse bad behavior by minorities because of ´past discrimination´ and fortified the welfare system, thus destroying the black family structure.

The greatest racism against the decendents of African slaves in the US is hiding from the truth regarding what the great society welfare state has done to them. Highly predictable presumably unintended consequences have taken a drastic toll. The breakdown of the family unit accross all demographics is an inconvient truth we dare not speak of.

From 1999-2007 the U.S. homicide rate per 100, 000 for whites was 1.8, Asians 1.4, Hispanics 4.0, blacks 6.4.
Source: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su6001a14.htm
For roughly the same period the Belgian homicide rate was 2.37. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate_by_decade#2000s

A year or so back I read an article on the HPost arguing that Southerners were hypocrites because they had the highest rate of STDs in the nation. Turns out that just comparing whites, Southerners were actually among the lowest. Seems that all that ´´Bible clinging´´ does some good.
Anyway, somehow the CDC didn´t get the Obama memo about not reporting inconvenient truths and this sort of statistical stuff is still available on line:
http://www.cdc.gov/std/health-disparities/race.htm
Pick a little man from each group (olive guy is ´white´, red guy is ´black´). Pick a year and your favorite STD and you´re good to go.
For example, in 2011, Blacks had a 17 times higher rate of the clap than did whites.

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move!

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Bloodletting, in the form of firings, dismissals, resignation, and expulsions, is a tribal rite in political Washington. It is most often used by the powerful on anyone less powerful as a symbolic sacrifice. Steven Miller, the now former acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, is the latest victim of ritual sacrifice. This week the Obama White House demanded his resignation to demonstrate the president’s “anger” at news that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status for added review and slow approval. Next, we’ll watch as Congress takes up the bloodletting knife.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,
