US TFR is 1.74 and below the replacement level of 2.1. It has plummeted rapidly over the past decade. American fertility dropped for briefly in the 1970s. So three things are important here: 1) why is this important, 2) what is the cause, and 3) how do we fix this?
Why is this important - It is disgusting that I need to say why this is important. It is disgusting that there are Malthusians who accept the lie of overpopulation even right here on Freerepublic. The primacy of reproduction is seen in God’s command to go forth and multiply. For the pagan scientists reading this it is seen in Darwin’s rules. For those who just want a strong America they must surely know that demography is destiny - nations who don’t reproduce will die off. This death may not be rapid but will instead be a slow drop in geopolitical power until such time that other nations begin to dictate what America does and it becomes essentially a vassal of some foreign power.
What is the cause - The cause is cultural. In the 1970s it was Paul Ehrlich who popularized overpopulation theories throughout the western world. These theories have been fully debunked but not before abortion was partially justified by overpopulation. Now the cultural cause is a narcissistic youth who promote faggotry and other gender bending theories.
What is the fix - Americans obey their party’s leader. So the GOP leader must emphasize the importance of increasing our birth rate. The bully pulpit is one way. The other is policy proposals. For example, shift the tax burden slightly away from families and toward single income earners. The government needs to stop funding many things, but in particular, birth control and abortion funding needs to be eliminated. The other disgusting practice that must be stopped is the government preferentially supporting women’s education. No federal program should exist that gives money to women who want a post secondary education as these women need to be barefoot and pregnant.
To my fellow Freepers - please push this key item of the Impimp agenda as it is at the top of my manifesto. I would love to hear your ideas about how we can help achieve this how the goal of a growing and prospering America may be achieved through filling the wombs of American women.
Most of the people I know with one or zero children don’t have more for multiple reasons. None of which involve Ehrlich and fear via environmentalism.
Any non married guy I know, without kids, got ruined in divorce and is unlikely to trust again. Or, they younger men don’t want some used up ho for a wife.
I know some career oriented women that drink and sleep around, and are surprised when no one wants to marry them as a 30+ year old.
Both sexes have no real religion in many cases.
It involves everything from religion, education, money, responsibility, philosophy, fun, lack of hope, etc.
No simple solution.
Why do you think both parties are allowing so many illegal aliens into this country? They are replacing us at an alarming rate.
