Republicans Outbreed Us, Democrats Fret

What did I tell you last month? Now we know that the Democrats and their MSM sympathizers are clearly worried. I predicted this. The Democrats may be crazy, but they're not stupid. (Stupid is not knowing something won't work when you ought to know it. Crazy is knowing that something won't work but trying it again and again anyway.)

So the liberals know that the ones having all the kids, and spending time with them, turn out to be conservatives. They know that conservatives outnumber them and the problem will only get worse. And maybe some of them are getting through their thick heads that all the sophisticated entertainments--the bread and circuses--with which they indulge themselves won't sway us--because the bread is moldy and the circus act is tired and shopworn. Consider this quote from David Brooks:

Very often they have sacrificed pleasures like sophisticated movies, restaurant dining and foreign travel, let alone competitive careers and disposable income, for the sake of their parental calling.

Sophisticated movies, huh? I won't even quote some of the most recent new releases, much less link to any of them. Quite apart from how the price of movie tickets has inflated beyond any rational estimate, movies today are simply not worth watching. I haven't watched a movie since Spider-Man 2, and the last movies I saw before that were The Passion of the Christ (not for the squeamish, but the most powerful statement of faith since The Greatest Story Ever Told with Max von Sydow), Troy (which I wouldn't recommend, because they put in too much horseflesh and not enough of the military action that really made it work), and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (which I'm sure the left would never appreciate, because its allegories apply so well to the War Against Terror of today).

And restaurant dining? Hmmm...double portions, the highest prices-per-pound you'll ever pay, and enough alcohol to fuel your car to get you there and back--and parents are giving up this? And for what? Genuine, American-as-apple-pie home cooking! Who knows? Maybe they'll bring back the old cake mix and frosting and home appliance ads! Oh, the horror! Dare I type the phrase...Home Ec?

Foreign travel--who says that that's permanently out of reach? It might even be a good field trip. Once, I would have recommended going to Walt Disney World, and especially the World Showcase area with its national pavilions. Except that they overcharge so much that you might as well travel directly to the country involved and sample its wares at typical prices. But you don't have to go back, and back, and back!

Finally, as to competitive careers and disposable income: I have found that the numbers don't really add up nearly as well as some two-earner couples think they do. But of course we're talking about the lifestyle that used to have a catchy name: "Single and DINK." (For those of you in the much-maligned flyover land, that means "Double Income, No Kids.") Their problem, of course, is that there's nothing like having someone close to you to fill a void in your life. We don't need &qout;sophisticated movies"--we're living the movies we used to enjoy, before Hollywood went crazy and "sophisticated" on us. (The utter lack of talent in Hollywood today is another issue.)

So what's next? I remind everybody again: the liberals will do their best to mess with your kids' heads in the public school system. So obviously our defense is to withdraw from the public schools--and raise a generation of voters that will vote their complete sale and privatization. (Let them pony up the money, rather than use our money to work their mischief with!) But we can also go on the offensive--by supporting your local Crisis Pregnancy Centers and letting their troubled patients know that you're willing to adopt their babies if they can't or won't raise them by themselves. And when the liberals complain about the idea, tell them the cold, hard truth: if they're going to encourage people to throw their kids away, then they have zero room to complain when somebody else fishes the kids out of their trash heap and gives them the chance they never would have had.
