Liberal politics will prove fruitless as long as liberals refuse to multiply
So says Aurthur Brooks. I am not sure how much stock you can put in this, but I found it to be humorous!
But the data on young Americans tell a different story. Simply put, liberals have a big baby problem: They’re not having enough of them, they haven’t for a long time, and their pool of potential new voters is suffering as a result. According to the 2004 General Social Survey, if you picked 100 unrelated politically liberal adults at random, you would find that they had, between them, 147 children. If you picked 100 conservatives, you would find 208 kids. That’s a “fertility gap” of 41%. Given that about 80% of people with an identifiable party preference grow up to vote the same way as their parents, this gap translates into lots more little Republicans than little Democrats to vote in future elections. Over the past 30 years this gap has not been below 20%–explaining, to a large extent, the current ineffectiveness of liberal youth voter campaigns today.

Liberals will never multiply like rabbits becuase they want too much rediclous regulations favor left-wing special interest groups and want out nation to abide by the demands of the UN and the NEW WORLD ORDER:mad:

That’s why Libs want illegals to swarm across the border, because they feel they can buy their votes with freebies. Like proxies.

The Liberal’s desire for abortion on demand does have its consequences. Just think of all the potential Democrats that have been murdered in the womb, or on their way out of the womb. This is an irony that brings a little smile to my face in between the tears running down my cheeks.

Haven’t been able to post much but have been keeping up with the news. Read this article and thought the same thing as number 3. Oh the consequences of abortion on demand.
Overall though I’m a little concerned with the dems views on lowering the voting age. Eighteen is plenty old enough, any younger and you are getting too much of a group that doesn’t have the wisdom or maturity to make sound choices.

Well good for him! If he keeps at it, he’ll have his B.A. degree in Liberalism from SF State U in another ten years or so.

well, the dems are definitely trying to swell their ranks with immigrants (illegal and otherwise) felons, cats, whoever is dumb enough to be sucked in by their class warfare.

Well, yes, actually, there are proposals within the DNC to go even further than that.
Scientists who are Democrats have alerted our registration activism committee that they have observed a strain of bacteria that are always oriented to the left. We believe this indicates that if they were voting, they would be indicating their desire to vote Democrat. Kind of like the dimpled chads, and hanging chads, that we interpreted to mean the voter certainly was voting for Al Gore.
If we can extend voting rights to this species of bacteria, then Democrat victory is assured in all elections, because these common bacteria are everywhere.

Ha! Backpacking in Yosemite…Vogelsang High Sierra Camp, climbed an 11,000+ foot mountain on Sunday – back at work today.

No More Babies (Left) To Kiss
Arthur C. Brooks, nella pagina degli editoriali del Wall Street Journal, spiega perché i Democratici – malgrado ogni sforzo per assicurarsi il voto giovanile – non riescono mai a dare vita ad un break generazionale capace di far vincere loro le elezi…

Personally, I’d like to see the voting age raised to the same as the drinking age or the drinking age lowered to match the voting age. Exactly why is it that an 18 yr old is old enough to serve in the military or vote but not old enough to buy a beer?
Of course the Dems are trying to recruit the illegals to vote. Only problem is that most Latinos are fairly devout Catholics. I wonder how the Pope would appreciate his priests encouraging people to vote for politicians who demand abortion on demand? Unlike the protestant denominations, the pope and the bishops have the ability to can priests.
