No wonder there are so few children in blue counties. Blue county schools are among the worst in the non-Muslim world.
I wish we could go back to when the Left-wingers were the "Reds".
I'd go for 3 or 4 kids if it wasn't so much work. Hats off to those who can handle this many kids without breaking anything against a wall, you have the gift of patience.
The NYTimes hasn't a clue to what morality, family, GOD, and country are all about!
These people are dumbfounded by what was the norm only 40 years ago.
Our country crashed beginning with the johnson regime, trashed by the carter inept hell, and almost totally demoralized by the clinton.
demoralized? What is the word for the exact opposite of MORALS?
I liked the article, but you can tell that they are dumbfounded by real America.
A comforting report.
Reflecting upon societal trends for the past 40+ years, how gullible many of us have been to the destructive influences of: Hollywood mores, environmentalists' panic stricken warnings of "overpopulation", womens lib "life without men", psychobabble "blame someone else", Marxist educators and the "Hate American Life" press pimps, resulting in a noticeable lack of respect for our founders Judeo-Christian philosophy of decency.
I'll bet Kerry won the states with the highest abortion rates.
You natalist! ; )
Natalist ... O, ne Zot!
LOL Whotta pathetic term for parents, eh?
Hubby wants four, I tell him I want five but secretly hope for an even half-dozen.
What can I say? I'm addicted to babies LOL
To properly raise a child, one must be self-sacrificing of time, money, a clean home, and sleep.
One must worry more about another's future, rather than one's own.
One must put another first.
One must face the pain and danger of pregnancy and birth.
Such real sacrifice is repugnant to the self-serving ("It's all about me!) mantra that is the core of the Liberal value system.
Recall the NYC woman, pregnant with triplets who coldly watched saline be injected into the beating hearts of two of her children. And why? So she did not have to leave her precious rent-controlled space and go shop at CostCo, buying mayo in gallon jugs.
Our neighbors just had their 8th. They can't believe we "only" have three. LOL Needless to say we are in a red state. We have a small to average sized family in our church.
Many couples our age or older were convinced the world was going to end soon and only had one or two children. Couples younger than us tend to have three or more.
One of my cousins had five kids and was a little embarrassed by it, but someone kindly told her "You are the kind of folks who *should* have a big family because you will raise them right."

Want my brand new one for three months?
I want her back after she can sleep through the night, though. LOL.

Good luck with four... no five... er... six? babies. I wanted to have four myself, but infertility changed my plans. It's so unfair that some women can get pregnant so easily (and then go kill the baby), and the women who want desperately to have a baby, can't. I have one little girl, it took us ten years to conceive her, and I am grateful for her every single day... even on the days where nothing will make her happy. :o)
I have an old friend who comes from a family of 14 children. When she married, she told me she wanted a small family, say 6 children.
Quite a few years later, there are 5 - all girls. I haven't asked her if they're trying for a boy.
Her kids are some of the nicest, well behaved, accomplished young ladies I've ever met. All pretty, too. One married, one engaged.
And all homeschooled.
I raised my children this way, starting in 1983. This is nothing new...it's just what conservatives have been doing forever.
I wonder if the writer can back up the claim that "natalists" (read: crazed baby maachines) tend to marry earlier. I know plenty, including me, from the boomer generation that waited a while, at least until we had our bachelor's degrees.
Too busy to fight a cultural war?? Think so? Come get some, leftist pukes!
