The National Abortion Rights Action League's youth coalition, Generation Pro-Choice, dispatched an email this week with the headline "Rumors of Gen Pro-Choicers demise are greatly exaggerated." Interestingly, it didn't say that the "rumors" were false, only that they were exaggerated. It is increasingly clear to NARAL, though subtly expressed, that the demise of the Left is imminent.
I am convinced that the political strength of conservatives, so evident in the gains of the 2004 election, is a reflection of a more permanent conservative impulse that runs deeply in the American character. But conservatism is not the chief threat to liberalism; the Left is its own worst enemy.
NARAL's "Generation Pro-Choice" is dying because liberals are birthing fewer children. James Pinkerton recently contended in Newsday that "the left has birth-controlled, aborted and maybe also gay-libbed itself into a smaller role in American society." Overall, the fertitlity rate in Kerry states is around 12 percent lower than in Bush states. The Economist reports that in the ultra-liberal state of Vermont, the annual fertility rate is 49 children for every 1,000 women of child-bearing age. But in the heavily pro-Bush state of Utah, nearly twice as many children per 1,000 child-bearing-aged women are being born. Of every 1,000 Utah women, 91 children are born.

He's just repeating what I have been saying in this forum for years.
It's pretty feeble trying to read this much meaning over a group stealing a Mark Twain quote.
"He's just repeating what I have been saying in this forum for years."
If being gay is genetic as they insist, absent procreation, is it not then a one generation phenomena?
In general though, it clearly makes sense. Think of all the "rights" claimed by the left that kill them or eng procreation. Abortion, Aids, all insundry STD's, sex change, gay marriage.
You would think that the experience of the Shaker communities, dying out through zero population replacement, might serve to liberals as an extreme example of where this trend will take them.....and none too soon I might add.
In another generation or two there will be no more Europe as we know it. The whole continent will be under an Islamic dictatorship.
The reps can thank abortion rights. Hopefully, this may get this non issue out of politics forever.
The left is dying because all their organizations have such hokey names.
He's just repeating what I have been saying in this forum for years.
I agree, but would add the left is political correcting themselves out of existence too. All this stuff about no one being offended when Islam is offended by everything they see and hear is showing what a loosing movement the left is tied too.

Alouette echo syndrome...
- "If being gay is genetic as they insist, absent procreation, is it not then a one generation phenomena?" -
Not necessarily.
The gene could be recessive.
Or it could be only partially expressing, and tending to be submerged by other genetic factors.
Of course, it MIGHT be a dominant gene that was socially suppressed in the past by the inability to socially express its effects, such that many with the gene married and procreated, passing it along anyway.
The genetic argument is a pretty bad one.
The truth is probably more that people are genetically programmed to like sex, and that experience shapes individual preferences to a greater degree than is admitted. (Why, in this libertine society, would this still not be admitted? Because sex with and among minors is criminal.)
And therefore, if that's true, the more open and libertine the society is, the more homosexual behavior you get, because more and more people are exposed to it younger and younger, without social opprobrium attached.
Sexual mores in America did not really change in the 1960s. Really, it changed when two successive generations of young American men went off by the millions to the World Wars, and took R&R in Paris. America may not have VOCALIZED their attitudes very well, but they came back with attitudes a bit different from what they left with.
"How're you gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Paree?"
Of course, while one might blame the French for American libertinism, I am afraid the Americans must have gotten the gay bug from somewhere else. While certainly tolerated in Paris, it is hardly prevalent...except among the Anglo-Saxon expatriate community. Heh heh.
heres the link to the article I posted back in june on liberals and abortion. i found it in my Doc's and posted it to my website.

Yeah but.
Given the youth culture (an absurdity on it's face) of this country Red State kids will be wild ass liberals anyway.
The only reason America is marginally conservative is the bell curve of the boomer generation and the fact we're all getting old.
Nawp. Politics isn't inherited. Thank God.
The left is alive and well in the Republican Party. We should have learned from history that no ideology is dead or dying unless we have the moral fortitude to kill it off once and for all.
To a certain extent it is passed on culturally in families. Yes, there are conversions and defections, but most people seem to get their basic political outlook from their parents. Which is why the childless left so desperately seeks to retain control of the schools: to try to recruit new young liberals from other families to replace the ones they themselves aborted or refused to conceive.
Liberals don't reproduce, so they must recruit. /exaggeration>
