LIBERAL CARBON-OFFSET PLANNING
Posted on 08/04/2009 9:30:15 AM PDT by Starman417
Forget about the birthers, and the nutty claims that Barack Obama was not born in the United States.More and more, we are hearing from people who might best be described as anti-birthers. Their claims have nothing to do with long- versus short-form Hawaiian birth certificates. Instead, they advance a simple proposition: that the birth of each additional American child is a kind of calamity for the environment.
The most recent example of anti-birth thinking comes from Paul Murtaugh and Michael Schlax of Oregon State University. In a study called “Reproduction and the carbon legacies of individuals,” they suggest that if you truly care about the environment, it’s not enough to trade your SUV for a Prius, use the right lightbulbs, or limit your lawn to organic fertilizers. To the contrary, you need to start thinking about something way more important: i.e., having one less child.
The “basic premise,” the study reports, is that “a person is responsible for emissions of his descendents.”
Yes, that's right...they'll pay for an abortion to kill a baby, and they'll pay for cancer patients to kill themselves instead of getting chemotherapy, and that's how the Obama Admin plans on saving the planet and the economy: less Americans=less cost

Whoa. Intelligenstia has just declared dominion of the individual, via the state, on behalf of mother earth. And Al Gore was the Prophet.
People will buy into this too. I read of one young lady that had her tubes tied because she didn’t want to ruin the environment by have a child.
This is the fag lobby basically trying to say that being gay is better for the environment, since they don’t produce kids.
In that case, the parents of Paul Murtaugh and Michael Schlax are destined for the Lake of Fire.
Conservatives.
Be fruitful and multiply.
Have as many babies as possible, even if it impoverishes you.
Homeschool them to inculcate them with your conservative and, hopefully, Biblical worldview.
You will be enriched by the wealth they will bring into the family when they come of age. And when you grow old, they will be more able to take care of you.
We have 11.
Birthers and breeders are homo terms meant to disparage normal people. Suggest BO get rid of his two brats first.
ALL YOUR FETUSES ARE BELONG TO US! and hen disposed of in the dumpster, said the DUmmies.
libtards should do this = fewer future libtards
But maybe a lot of people don't remember the Overpopulation Hysteria of the early 1970's, inspired by Paul Ehrlich's "The Population Bomb", now totally discredited.
Or the garbage that followed, which led to mass abortion, "replacement children only" (the American birth rate went well below that, but was replaced by immigration and immigrant birth rates, who hadn't heard that suicide was the only option), and endless Greenie nonsense about how we should all return to the caves.
Just a regurgitation of the Left Liberal Misanthropy of a dead (really dead) era.
That's a lot of responsibility for one man to bear.
I would suggest that the proponents start the ball rolling by killing themselves,,,,in an environmentally sustainable and green way, of course.
just want to take a moment to point out that the team nickname for Oregon State University is “The Beavers”....
This ‘journalist’ starts the piece calling birthers ‘nutty’ while calmly explaining why Americans need to stop having babies to save the planet as they were discussing what is on TV tonight.
These people have lost thier mind!
Is there some verse in the Bible that says “What should be ‘normal’ is now found insane and what should be insane is now accepted?” Because I feel like I have stepped into the Twilight Zone.
What’s next? Forced abortions ala Chinese Communists?
Sorry, you had your one baby, no more babies for you!
Want to reduce humanity's "carbon footprint" one individual at a time? You first, and we'll be delighted to help.
We have 9. FReep the environment!
That's a lot of responsibility for one man to bear.
Nonsense! You don't think it's a *man* getting up at 2 a.m. to deal with his offspring's emissions, do you?
