Dozens of times here I have posted that I have a front row seat to the death of Western Civilization and I no longer have to wonder how Rome fell. Sickening. You can never get back liberty lost. Never. Future generations will be oppressed. Sickening. I despise modern liberals and their socilialist masters/benefactors for what they are doing to Western Civilization. May they burn in hell for it. Certainly, they are condemning generations of their offspring to pay for the sins of their fathers. Dispicable.

I am joyless.

More of those “unexpected” deals...eh?

The extinction of White populations in Europe has been shouted down as a conspiracy theory for too long now. It’s too late.

“children do not count...”

I disagree. Every place in the US is not child-hating San Francisco.

Come on down South and take note of all the children in the parks, playing on the streets and filling the stores.

I know liberals don’t want to hear it, but the south is a growth area, where in states like South Carolina, the average age is 32, and it’s filled with kids.

There’s a renaissance happening, complete with flags, families, churches and love of freedom.

All you patriots trapped behind enemy lines, consider moving your families south. You’re welcome here.

53 million abortions, given population growth is a geometric progression, would mean we would have a population of around 480 million Americans now and African Americans would make up about 30% of the population.

No doubt Obama would have been crowned emperor.

The summer sounds were sweet.. now we have silent summers.. kids in day care or camp.. sooo sad wag

Kids aren't allowed to play anymore because of all the perverts that populate our society.

The economy is in trouble because you need an expanding population to continue population growth

Now you know why the borders remain open. Obama directed that INS stop deporting illegals, by telling them to look for any broad interpretation of rules that would stop the deportation.

I think this as well and then I realize that Israel will soon have to exercise some serious options for its survival and we may see ethnic cleansing on a rather large scale. Perhaps orders of magnitude larger and Justifiably!

“It is far from clear how, in many of the most rapidly declining countries, how economic growth can be sustained by a declining population - or, to touch on the most pressing specific, how the numerically smaller younger generations will even begin to provide for the larger older generations.”

Oh that’s a very easy to answer....they won’t. Countries are already courting the wealthy with tax incentives. That will soon become the young and well-educated. The elderly welfare states will fail for a lack of young people to foot the bill.

We’re not quite there yet, but give it 20 years.

We married in our later 20’s, but had issues out of the gate. My Bride has never been on BC, but has a family history of plumbing issues.

Even if it can’t all be saved, we must focus on preserving regions of freedom, in the soul at least, and moving up from there.

Why is the United States funding Pro or Anti-Natal programs in Europe.

What they do there is their business and not ours.

It’s bad enough we are killing our own next generation, while sponsoring the rise of Hispanics in this country.It certainlt isn’t our affair how often Europeans breed.

Agreed on the funding but we cannot turn our back totally to the world. If the muzzies take over Europe, they would have a bigger power base to come after us. Still, hopefully the nationalist parties over there will get a hold of things and put a stop to all of that over there.

Mark Steyn wrote about all this a couple years ago in his book. Nothing new here. Just a little bit later than it was.

Interesting that leftists are Darwinists. Their policies and practices are anti-Darwinian.

All the most famous darwinians are pro-death.

pray for the Philippines: TheUS and UN is trying to impose on us US style “sex ed” for our teenagers, and mandatory birth control “instruction” in gov’t clinics...never mind that one third of women deliver without trained birth attendents...

A generation ago in my neighborhood the smallest family had 3 kids.. the average was 5 with a couple of mega families with 10 or more

Welcome to my neighborhood--right now. Among our homeschooling group, we're an "average" family--with six.

[Antoninus]

One of the things that PO’s me most is that people who ARE responsible for their kids (provide for health, education, etc.) are not able to have lots of kids.

Yes, they are. What they are not able to do is sacrifice material luxuries to have more kids. And realize that a child need not be Ivy League educated to make a contribution to society.

I have always said if I had to choose one or the other, I'd rather my kids be virtuous people and upstanding citizens than brilliantly educated. Of course, I'd prefer they be both, but too many brilliantly educated people (particularly in our current system) end up being horrible, immoral citizens.

[Antoninus]

Kids aren't allowed to play anymore because of all the perverts that populate our society.

And the lawyers. The time is coming when, if your kid wants to ride his bike to the park, he's going to need to wear a full plate mail kit to do so legally.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

God willing. There will always be those who cherish freedom. Maybe we can rebuild from those regions of freedom, but you know how easy it is to lose freedom and how hard it is to get it back. God willing we won’t end up in totalitarianism sooner than later. I am hopeful but not optimistic.

Soon we will be knocking grandma off too.

Sadly, that's the case in the Netherlands where the elderly are worried that they could be euthanized if they fall asleep.
