This was written as satire but it has some merit. Imagine if every stupid person in America was executed. The Democrat party would cease to exist.

Sorry, but as a parent of a special needs child, I fail to find any humor in this article.

I heard Boortz read this and talk to the kid, it was VERY CLEAR that they were pushing for eugenics (or at the very least population control).

Jonathan Swift’s classic satire “A Modest Proposal” was a scathing indictment of attempts to limit reproduction.

“The intellectually handicapped have been reproducing at a substantially greater rate than those with a fully functional brain.”

Ain’t that the truth!!

It’s not hard to understand why Government spends so much time and effort protecting the mentally defective from themselves, however — the brain damaged make up most of the Democratic voting base.

I’m with you, buddy.

Some things just ain’t funny.

Eugenics is one of those things.

Not quite a record, but...just 4 posts to prove the LAW.

Neal Boortz made his pro-eugenics feelings very clear today.

May the dumb jocks sire geeks and nerds, so that they will learn to appreciate those they once pushed into lockers. :-)

If Boortz really believes in that crap, then he just lost one potential audience member.

Hey, I don't invoke the Nazis at the drop of a hat. Far be it for me to prove Godwin's Law. But when people start talking about how nice it would be to exterminate the untermenschen, Nazis naturally spring to mind.

When I first read this I couldn’t help but imagine some left-wing moonbat professor typing out his true feelings before actually typing out some paper arguing for more educational funding or more government control over children. Then as he hits send on his email client realizes he sent out the wrong paper.

And don’t you just love the “reverse Darwinism” thing? I couldn’t get over that line. It was great.

...reverse Darwinism? Ponder the thought for a moment. In the authors (satirical) argument, that would actually make the stupid people more fit, making his argument paradoxical.

Sorry but I fail to see the humor in executing children. I guess Neal, Justin and Adolph would have had a great time together.

Someone needs to tell this kid that smarmy narcisissism and a snotty attitude are not substitutes for intelligence...he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

I listened very closely to the conversation he had with the writer. The only conclusion I could draw is that they were both “concerned” that less intelligent people reproduce at a higher rate than more intelligent people.

Sorry but I heard the kid interviewed and he was one of the most articulate yooung people I have heard. He was articulate and didn’t lose throw away words like like and you know.

With the current state of the American voter there are some very dumb people. The idea of executing the stupid is crazy but sometimes you have to demonstrate absurdity with absurdity.

Actually, modern “liberals” have a huge fertility gap with conservatives.

It’s like 140/100 vs 208/100.

Mostly abortion, homosexuality and not wanting to sacrifice their lifestyle to have to raise and pay for children.

If people were properly educated, there wouldn’t be enough “dumb” people to keep ol’ Neal up at night.

No sweat. I’ll note that the little (p word here) that wrote the piece only ‘just’ missed your call (a good call BTW) by not calling them Schlammleute.

To see that level of arrogance in a high school aged person is a fright, and well before Holloween to boot!
