Are Single Moms Destroying America?
According to Author Ann Coutler they are. Did you see Coulter on the Today show last week blasting single moms?( here is the clip)
According to Coulter, single moms are responsible for raising children who end up in jail, are uneducated and are responsible for all of our problems in society.

As a single mom of four, I am personally offended by Ms. Coutler. This angry, mean spirited woman has no right to attack single moms and blame society's ills on us. Most single moms struggle daily to provide the best for their children and often must be both mother and father to children who do not have an father who is actively supporting them.

If you are a single mom, please do not buy this woman's books. She obviously has no idea how difficult it is to parent children on your own. Most single moms are not single moms by choice. Ms. Coutler should attack fathers who abandon their children instead. What she is insinuating is that staying in an unhappy marriage, often fraught with fighting and tension is a better environment for children to grow up in than to raised by one , stable happy parent.

I think we are doing the best we can as single parents. Many of us left marriages that were unhappy so that our children would not grow up hearing constant fighting between parents. Although I do believe that a couple should do everything possible to save their marriage, including going to counseling, keeping your children in an unstable, often violent home environment will not give them a better chance in life.

Being a single parent is difficult enough. Many single moms raise smart, healthy, educated children who contribute greatly to society. Ms. Coutler feels that single moms and liberals are destroying America. I think she has another motive for her nasty comments. Considering that President Elect Obama was raised by a single mom himself, Coulter who is a republican, may be taking her frustrations out on single moms because she is bitter about her party losing the election. Why a talk show would have such a vile person like Ms. Coulter on is beyond my understanding. This is also the same woman who referred to the 911 widows as "griefzillas". We should not reward her lack of compassion and sensitivity by putting her on TV and rewarding her with book sales.

Down-Low Brothers Bolt Your Closet Doors…The Holy Grail For Women Of Color is HOT!

Nearly one month ago, AdC Publishing released a reference guide for women of color, which has proven to be a monumental hit with women of the African- American and Latina communities- a #1 Bestseller nor doubt!

Aurora della Croix’s The Gullible Girl’s Guide to Gagging the Down- Low Brother! Is indeed a mouth full; however, coupled with this alliterated mammoth title, comes an eye and ear full of valuable information for women.

Engaging…Brilliantly written... and impressive and easy read, this raw … witty … sexy … and sometimes erotic tour de force is the first volume of a double volume set, and has been coined the Holy Grail for women of color who desire to increase their knowledge about the down-low brother (DLB).

Della Croix embraces the reader on a one-on-one level, leads her/him on a lyrical journey through time and back. Along the way, della Croix tackles labels, as the book candidly dispels some of the myths about men.. straight, gay, and down-low. Combining various ingredients such as self-help mantras, psychological and historical facts, anecdotes, fantasy, and profiles; sprinkled with an abundance of humor, this recipe ensures the reader is well-seasoned and empowered for entry into the sweltering, and abysmal black-hole known as the DLB psyche! A successful journey through the first volume arms the reader with the necessary basic tools and knowledge to defend herself against the chicanery of her current or future DLB partner.

Sales of this Holy Grail for women of color have not diminished since the announcement of its release less than one month ago. Newspapers, popular magazines, journalists, book clubs, and the like have been vying for the attention of the author to sit for an interview and/ or speak to specific groups about the DLB phenomenon. Antoine B. Craigwell, an award-winning freelance journalist for GBMNews.com, was the first to snag and corner this brilliant and talented author for a one-on-one interview. The article “ For Women, Recognizing and Developing Tools: When Your Man is a DLB”, will be released in the upcoming weeks.

A CD audio version of the book is in the works, and della Croix is expected to begin nation wide book signing tours in mid-April 2009. Tour information can be found at www.gulliblegirl.net. A copy of the blockbusting book can be purchased for $8.95 via the web at www.gulliblegirl.net or at www.amazon.com .
