Am I the only one a bit disturbed that this article starts out as an interesting statistical analysis of birthrates by state and then seems to turn into a xenophobic, race-obsessed doomsday prediction? Consider the source here, people; the American Conservative is not what it seems, nor what it once was. If memory serves, they endorsed Kerry.
From the American Conservative website ("about us"):
"And we will discuss, frequently, America’s role in the world, turning a critical eye on those who want to cast aside every relevant American foreign policy tradition—from Robert Taft-style isolationism to prudent Dwight Eisenhower-style internationalism, in favor of go it alone militarism, where America threatens and bombs one nation after another, while the world looks on in increasing horror."
No, you're just the only one who interprets it this way.
Whatsa matter, can't take having someone reason their way to a logical conclusion?
If memory serves, they endorsed Kerry
Actually they endorsed no one. The final pre-election issue had four articles championing the four candidates of note: Bush, Kerry, Badnarik and Peroutka. Buchanan went for Bush.

Oh, of course. Any discussion of caucasians in any context is always xenophobic, right, liberal? If he had said "it's disgraceful how ethnically homogeneous these places are! Where are the minorities?!" like a NYT writer, you'd be applauding approvingly.
So, how's them Rockefeller Readings going, Mr. Multi-Culturalist-UN man?
