The reaction to the 300 million mark reminds me of the 1992 anniversary of Columbus' voyage to America--previous generations would have leaped at yet another opportunity to celebrate our greatness; our current one moans about how horrible America is.

This is a bit misleading, our birthrate is a bit high only due to Hispanic immigration.
Without the surplus Mexican population, our birthrate would be about equal to France, 1.8 per woman.
Ireland is higher with 1.9.

That 300 millionth baby will be the progeny of Third Worlder !
An anchor baby, born of some illegal alien from Mexico .
Parasites stealing American Citizenship .
To: MinorityRepublican
Yes--but take the Islamic birthrate out of France and what will that leave you?
To: Tom D.
Mark Steyn thinks babies being born in the United States is good for the country and the world. In crude political, economic and military terms, demographics mean both power and influence. Here is where American exceptionalism stands out. Unlike Europe, Russia and Japan, America is replenishing its population. We should all indeed say Happy Birthday kid - and wish more Americans are born down the road. It will make a lot of difference to the world's future long after the Old World, wizened, barren and dying -is

That 300 millionth baby will be the progeny of Third Worlder ! That baby has already been born. Young black couple. The father is a soldier and came home from Iraq just for the birth of his daughter.

I have just watched him on the Journal Report.
He's right.

Actually for the developed world, its a population bust. Europe, Japan and Russia are already on their demographic deathbed. The world's fate will come down to who tops the numbers charts in 2050: America or Islam. We should all pray for a Third American Century. As before, America is the world's last - and now the West's only hope.

Designating this particular baby as the 300 millionth is an arbitrary act .
Babies are being delivered every minute .

Anyway, when it comes right down to it, I favor an American Manifest Destiny over a world ruled by the Sharia and the burqa.

Funniest Mark Steyn quote:
"[I]t's propping up the slightly wonky rear left leg of the front table groaning under the weight of unsold copies of Peace Mom by Cindy Sheehan."
ROFLMAO! I really think its Steyn who keeps bookstore shelves in place. Nobody will read Cindy Sheehan. But America Alone is definitely worthy of every one's attention. Demographics is a serious issue - much more important to our future than Sheehan's dead son or Mark Foley.

Liberals keep pushing for abortion and birth control. As usual, they miss the big picture. At any rate, liberalism is headed for demographic extinction.

American women have 2.1 children. Conservative women produce kids at or above replacement levels. Immigration is only part of the picture. Its liberals who are not breeding and having kids. Demographics is also having an impact on our domestic politics.

Liberals fear we'll beat them as well as Islam. That's why they are full of doom and gloom.

Here is where American exceptionalism stands out. Unlike Europe, Russia and Japan, America is replenishing its population. With utterly unsympathetic, and possibly even hostile, aliens, unfortunately.
