More conservative babies mean more conservative voters. Let the liberals abort their future it's destined for failure anyway.

Did you see him on Gigot's FNC program this morning? He said western Europe is a mess, thanks to their policy of Muslim immigration. Muslims are the ones reproducing. He said that only the former Soviet controlled Eurpoean countries such as Poland are not allowing Muslim immigration.

The best thing about America is the affordability of its real estate. Four years ago, the best buys where in of all places, Crawford, Texas:

As for other degradations the weight of which is so crushing to Myers, name some. America is one of the most affordable property markets in the Western world. I was amazed to discover, back in the first summer of the Bush presidency, that a three-bedroom air-conditioned house in Crawford, Texas, could be yours for 30,000 bucks and, if that sounds a bit steep, a double-wide on a couple of acres would set you back about $6,000.

If all you can afford is a mobile home, you won't be set back much. But wowza - a three bedroom air-conditioned house for $30,000 is so 70s. America is the coolest property market country on earth.

er, that doesnt sound like a conservative saying that. Conservatives are against abortions not because they believe they could gain more votes from it, but because abortion is killing a life, so even babies liberals abort is something conservatives are concerned about

Conservative women produce kids at or above replacement levels.

I'd like to believe that. Fertility drugs for Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, so they can catch up with their peers?

I can hear their fertility coach now: "Hit the deck and gimme five!"

However, articles I've read in the past stated or implied that U.S. population growth was almost entirely due to immigration and immigrants, who are the ones having babies (according to the MSM, who also imply that all of America's increase is nonwhite -- and the future).

If liberals have to do substitute importation to remain politically viable, it speaks to their lack of a home-grown constituency. Even today Cindy Sheehan's books go unsold.

We oppose abortion out of principle. But from another perspective, we shouldn't stand in the way of liberals aborting themselves out of existence. In the end, the people who shape the future are the ones who are here as opposed to those who aren't. That is where conservatives have both a numerical and moral advantage. Both demographically and ideologically, liberalism is a going out of business enterprise.

That's Russian and Slavic history talking. They know better.

It was Mohammedans who made the word "Slav" into "slave".

If I were the paper in a Cindy Sheehan book, I'd beg for the recycling vat.

I am a conservative. My commonsense answer to abortion is to keep your f'n legs shut and there won't be a need for abortion. But nobody wants to admit that, they just want to have unaccountable sexual relations with anybody and everybody. Roe vs. Wade will never be overturned no matter how much we want it to. I'm a realist.

Good article, as always. I was in Europe when the magic number was announced, and the Europeans were disgusted.

"Ugh, so many Americans, look at those horrible people, devouring precious natural resources, living large, it's all because of George Bush, Americans are so stupid, etc., etc..." This from a people who have to haul in the most desperate members of the third world to do their work because there simply aren't enough native Europeans to run any kind of economy, a people that boasts about their "freedom" from children and politely ignores their own parents as they die alone in inner-city apartments or huge, impersonal residences for the elderly, a group whose main objective in life is to retire early and hope that euthanasia is generally legalized by then so that they can die after a few years, should life become even remotely difficult; this is the group that is so offended by the fact that America still seems, despite all odds, full of vitality, life and children.

There's tons of space for more people in America.

The US census tells us that less than 4% of land in America can be classified as urban. The place may seem crowded at times because humans are sociable creatures who tend to gravitate to their own kind rather than live with rattlesnakes and scorpions.

But if you want to live alone with rattlesnakes and scorpions, it can be done. A free US map and a few hours on any Sunday afternoon will locate a hundred spots to get away and live ornery and unsociable.

Citizen number 300 million doesn't bother me at all. After all, I can go find a rock to sit on in the backcountry, with a rattlesnake as my nearest buddy, and not see another soul for weeks on end. And I'm sure that rock and some rattlesnake will be there when Mr. 300 Million drinks his first legal beer. Our spaces are fully sustainable.

The only thing of note that's unsustainable are liberals poking their nose into business not their own. Guess that's why God made fists as vehicles of learning.

Mexicans are not our problem. The only reason Mexicans will be a problem is if liberals succeed in turning them into victims and getting them on welfare.

We need to stop illegal immigration, probably all immigration for a short period, but Hispanics are conservative, Christian and are not so arrogant as to be unable to be patriotic.

I was talking to my cousin in Oklahoma and was stunned at the price she said she gave for the old "homestead." Stone house, 3 bedrooms & finished attic, "only" a couple of acres. Less than what I paid for my house 35 years ago.

You couldn't put enough air conditioners in that house to bring the price up to $30,000. Amazing.

Not sure how you'd get broadband Internet service there, tho . . .

There are parts of the country where you can still a full-sized home outright. However, they all seem to be in places like Crawford that no one wants to move to.

There are more Europeans in less space. That is one reason they are not concerned by declining population.

So do I, what is your point ?
