August 21, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) A prominent left-wing American political blog has come under fire after publishing one writers quip that the world needs a global superplague because there are too many goddam people already. Daily Kos contributor Jon Staffords August 10 post, in which Stafford described himself as Not Pro-Choice, Pro-Abortion, drew immediate attention in the blogosphere.
While Stafford said that his remarks are partly facetious, he went on to say, nevertheless there is a seed of truth in it, because I believe that the world is wildly overpopulated and that we must take steps as a society to reduce it.
This will undoubtedly be met with accusations of callousness, but we would could really use is a global superplague. The Black Death may have been horrible, but without it there would never have been a Renaissance.
In the same blog post Stafford stated his belief in legalizing marijuana and homosexual marriage and his radical atheism. Just one day earlier, Stafford had said, Rick Perry scares me. Michele Bachmann too. Not because they are crazy (although they are), but because they are charismatic and crazy. Because they tap into a strain of crazy that runs deep and strong in this country, a Christian fanaticism that is every bit as ugly as its Islamic counterpart. And every bit as destructive.
Commenting on Staffords post, Population Research Institute President Steven Mosher said, The world is by no stretch of the imagination, overpopulated.
Anyone who argues that the Black Death, which decimated Europe’s population for a hundred years, was a good thing, needs counseling, Mosher said. “When did it come to be ‘socially liberal’ to espouse genocide? I thought that the Left was supposed to be opposed to such things?
“Of course, Mosher continued, Stafford may think that by not identifying a particular group to be eliminated, he escapes the charge of genocide, but I don’t think so. The history of population control program is replete with examples of the majority ethnic, religious, class, etc., group using abortion, sterilization and contraception to reduce the numbers of the minority group. So, in practical terms, population control is genocide.”
In an interview with LifeSiteNews, American Life League President Judie Brown said, On a practical matter having nothing to do with the avowed atheist, overpopulation is not a problem at all.
The real problem is corrupt governments bloated with funds that are donated for the specific purpose of aiding the poor that never get to the poor, Brown said. The real problem is politics gone awry. You might summarize it as selfishness.
No! Never Washington. It’s always “genocide for thee, but not for me” among our betters.
Send him a knife with the words "YOU FIRST" engraved on it. Self hating humans advocating genocide make me sick.
The depth of liberal sickness never ceases to amaze me.
It also never ceases to amaze me that they want everyone else to be . . . . . . . . er, “eliminated”, just not them!!
LEAD BY EXAMPLE, liberal hypocrits!!
LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!!!
Agreed. I am always amused that Christianity is so frequently blamed for the Dark Ages, but the fact that Christianity actually kept the flame of learning and literacy alive is totally lost on these ‘historians.’
No one can say they weren’t warned about the ideals of socialism...by socialists!
OK, Jeremy Kryn....you first.
Said with a Cockney accent: "E's 'Al Gore' bonkers, 'e is!"
No problem if we can select the groups to eliminate.
Starting with Is-Slime would be a great first step.
Then we could suggest liberals and their communist comrades should feel free to stop procreating.
I think those 2 acts should be sufficient.
The presenter on my "War and World History" lectures emphasized this change in finance. It's a very interesting point with many ramifications.
Captain Hyperbole to the rescue, because everyone knows Michele Bachmann is the equivalent of Osama bin Laden!
OMG, Run! Michelle has a simitar!
Set an example and start with yourself, buddy (then again, these whack jobs never practice what they preach).
There was a History Channel or A&E documentary about the Medicis that emphasized their role in the revival/reinvention of classical civilization. Really neat stuff.
For all those like Kos, who think that we need to do something about “overpopulation”, I say, which way would you like to go, rope, gun, poison...what? I’ll send it over. I’m not a part of the problem, but they surely are. So Kos, you go first. Hey, maybe they’d enjoy Jim Jones Juice.
I’ve got a theory that the rise of the West came from storytellers who brought bits of odd things, herbs, a piece of jewelry. Troubadors and such. That, and the break that came in the Mass in Latin that portrayed the Passion of Christ in the local languages.
I figure people who were trying to escape whatever, or had that feeling of wanting to explore, just plain got curious. A couple of them hit pay dirt.
Of course, gun powder helped.........
Because asking you to take a tract, or telling you to repent and 'Seek Ye the Lord While He May Be Found' -- is every bit as destructive as lopping your head off, blowing up buses, or plowing planes into buildings...
... or wishing a massive super plague to wipe out humanity. Palin and Perry are "crazy" because they aren't hoping for global genocide.
What is interesting to observe, is that these madmen who wish death and misery on most of the world don't realize that it is those in the urban areas that will most likely succumb to the horrors first as carriers of the disease will fly, drive, or be shipped in from around the globe. Those most likely to survive are those who have seen the upcoming disaster and have prepared to go underground while the savages eat each other.
Yeah, I know. I was lazy and stupid. (Nobody’s perfect.) Please accept my apologies.
However, I believe my point is still valid: Buy PM and hold
