#More Coulter: Studies show: Felons smarter than liberals |
Studies show: Felons smarter than liberals
By Ann Coulter
Wednesday, July 4, 2007
Just in time for the Fourth of July, John Lott, author of the
groundbreaking 1998 book "More Guns, Less Crime," has released another
amazing book: "Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-
Baked Theories Don't." This book provides studies and analysis proving
that your every right-wing instinct is based on sound economic
analysis.
To wit:
Women shouldn't vote: "What changed ... that explains the growth of
government? The answer is women's suffrage."
Fox News Channel isn't conservative: "Even employees of Fox News,
which is widely regarded as a conservative channel, donate 81 percent
of their contributions to Democrats."
Public schools are government re-education camps: "(P)ublic education
was actually designed to spread government-approved values."
Nothing good has come from abortion: "(A)bortion, in fact, increases
crime."
Felons vote Democrat: "Remarkably, it looks as if virtually all felons
are Democrats."
To make your flights even more enjoyable this summer, consider this
interesting incentive system described by Lott: "To receive disability
benefits due to job-related stress, air traffic controllers must
present a well-documented stressful incident -- a collision or close
call -- that has caused a deterioration in their performance.
Unsurprisingly, when it became easier to file for disability, flights
suddenly started experiencing more 'close calls.'"
Say, wouldn't it be even more stressful, deserving of a greater
disability payment, if the near-miss involved an Iranian Air jet?
Lott shows that there are pretty clear answers to what lowers the
crime rate, what increases the crime rate and what doesn't have any
effect at all. Despite their popularity as explanations for the
remarkable drop in crime in the '90s, the aging of the population and
the enforcement of quality-of-life crimes both had virtually no
effect.
What did work was higher arrest and conviction rates, concealed-carry
laws and the reinstitution of the death penalty. "Generally, the
studies found," Lott writes, "that each execution saved the lives of
roughly 15 to 18 potential murder victims." So basically, there's a
much bigger death penalty for having no death penalty.
Meanwhile, gun locks and gun self-storage laws lead to more deaths,
for the obvious reason that if the owner can't get to his gun in time,
the beneficial effect of having a gun is lost. Lott also shows that
crime skyrocketed in cities that implemented affirmative action
policies that lowered allegedly "biased" and "irrelevant" tests for
cops.
Speaking of crime, there's even something for Paris Hilton in this
book! Lott says that "when we analyze the overall consequences a
criminal faces after conviction, we find a surprising result: Rich
criminals face disproportionately high penalties."

Thank you, Ann, for pushing another wild-eyed ideologue has-been so that
even more people can see that the Regressive Conservative movement is just
plain crazy.
We progressives continue to owe you a vote of thanks for becoming the
poster-girl of the demented right wing.

Subject: #More Coulter: Studies show: Felons smarter than liberals
She thinks she and other tightie-righteys are smarter than liberals--
therefore, she's admitting that conservatives are criminals.
She should just say it outright. Not like she's inhibited or anything.

I went to school with John Lott at UCLA. He has done
some legitimate economics, but that was long ago. He
is now a full-fledged ideologue and crank.
To wit:
Women shouldn't vote: "What changed ... that explains the growth of
government? The answer is women's suffrage."
Classic logical fallacy: post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Fox News Channel isn't conservative: "Even employees of Fox News,
which is widely regarded as a conservative channel, donate 81 percent
of their contributions to Democrats."
I don't believe Lott could know this percentage. Like
a lot of his other "statistics", I think he faked it.
Public schools are government re-education camps: "(P)ublic education
was actually designed to spread government-approved values."
This is the basis of Lott's Ph.D. dissertation, and
it's sound.
Nothing good has come from abortion: "(A)bortion, in fact, increases
crime."
The author of Freakonomics, Steven Levitt (whom Lott
has sued for attacking Lott's guns/crime methodology),
comes to the exact opposite conclusion: abortion
*decreased* crime. Others who have looked at Levitt's
research on the issue say he made a mistake, and that
abortion has no effect on crime; but none go further to
say that it increases crime.
Felons vote Democrat: "Remarkably, it looks as if virtually all felons
are Democrats."
No data.
To make your flights even more enjoyable this summer, consider this
interesting incentive system described by Lott: "To receive disability
benefits due to job-related stress, air traffic controllers must
present a well-documented stressful incident -- a collision or close
call -- that has caused a deterioration in their performance.

suddenly started experiencing more 'close calls.'"
More post hoc fallacy.
Lott is full of crap, and is a crappy economist.

a) anyone citing Coulter on ANY subject other than her
being comic relief as an ENTERTAINER (of rightwing
fuckwits) isn't worth the effort
b) Anyone engaging Kurt Knicklas after he spent years
as the Usenet idiot in charge of being abused is
wasting his time.
Knicklas was DAILY ridiculed---so bad that he's spent
tons of money hiring "people search" (probably
Intelius) to find personal addressed, phone numbers so
that he could use them to intimidate anyone who spanked
him.
Worse, is that he made dozens of Late-night, hang-up
phone calls (from his NC home) and forgot that Caller
ID was nailing his dumb *****.
Right after, he left here in shame, didn't post for a
couple of years---until he thought everyone had
forgotten him.
He must have written 2 dozen letters of complaint to
ISP's trying to get those who made fun of him off the
net.

Scooter libby, Ollie North, Capsper Weinberger were
"smarter than liberals"?
If so, why were they caught, indicted, tried and
convicted?
Hmmmm, Knickkkers?

The liberals should pay her to keep talking. Nobody else can galvanize
liberals, push moderates to the left and embarrass most conservatives like
she does.
