Yeh, let's look at FRANCE. Real nice situation there, importing people, no babies. What a dolt.

Take away their welfare benefits, their right to put children in the public schools, their right to use the hospitals, and require them to pay taxes like the rest of us, and I might agree that it's close.

I'm hoping this is just a 21st century update of Swift's Modest Proposal, but I doubt it.


I sure hope this guy doesn't have children, because they're ruined if he does, poor kids.

What is he going to do, import eunichs? Immigrants have far higher birthrates than native born Americans.

I don't think so actually, I hope so, but don't think so.

Its in an editorial with a bunch of straight-faced columns on standard small town issues, so I don't think it is one

I dunno... I'll meet him half way -- fewer kids would be a good thing.

Or at least require parenting classes for all would be parents... kids today are just one notch above domesticated animal in the best of cases.

However, as a society we are in agreement already on many aspects of good behavior. If we focused childhood (preschool) education on cooperation, self-control, respect for the rights of others, cleanliness, safety, plus appropriate speech and grammar, parents would not object.

Apparently he has forgotten the one thing that would give him any credibility at all...Hard work! Think about what a 15-20 year old was doing 50, 60 years ago. probably not playing organized soccer and getting ready for party town campus to find themselves. They were probably learning a productive trade.

His argument is asking US to commit suicide. Conservatives need to have larger families liberals need to take his advice.

Of course, he is being sarcastic.
We need to get involved in our children's lives and mold them to become good citizens.

"This means changing how we spend money on young children and reducing the amount of discretionary funds teens have."

He needed to develop that little statement a little more, I think....

What?

Allowing the abortion of 40 million future citizens over the last 30 plus years isn't enough "progress" for the cabal thats seeks to destroy this nation thru any means possible?

Thanks for the post.
