Prof: U.S. liberals on slope to extinction

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. liberals face extinction if they don't start having enough babies to keep up with conservatives, a Syracuse University professor told ABC News.

Professor Arthur Brooks said after studying numbers from the governmental General Social Survey, he found 100 unrelated liberal adults have 147 children, while 100 unrelated conservatives have 208 kids.

Brooks said that makes a difference, as 80 percent of people with political opinions vote like their parents.

In response, conservative pollster Kellyanne Conway told ABC liberals are creating their own fertility gap by their beliefs.

"They're for abortion policy, they're for same-sex marriage, they're for many of the agenda items that eventually mean you probably don't have children in the household," Conway said.

They'd already be extinct if not for the NEA led school system. We need to pry their evil fingers off of education.

Apparently they forgot to figure massive immigration into their analysis. Liberals do not need to reproduce.

I find it ironic that folks who advocate abortion are shocked at their falling numbers.

This implies that conservative parents raise conservative children, and liberal parents raise liberal childern. In truth, offspring often rebel against their parents, particularly if they are force-fed an ideology when young, and turn out just the opposite.

Liberalism isn't hereditary.

My mom was a liberal and my dad was more-or-less one until he started having to deal with the Carter Administration federal government in my mid teens, which is about when I became a conservative.

Maybe the losses are offset by the welfare system with its incentives to produce dependents. (Thus dependent personalities. Thus liberals.)

They figure they can poison conservative kids through reprogramming efforts in the k-12 and university systems.

Rush touched on this the other day. Liberals are aborting themselves right out of existence.

With tounge firmly implanted in cheek, he wondered if being anti-abortion was a good thing.

Exactly. That's why they need to continuously import a large underclass to replace the porr here that eventually make it to middle class status and become more conservative.

My oldest tended to...I can't bear to say it, so let's call her Rousseau-esque.
*hanging head*
But she has begun to turn at last. Like I always say, "It takes a mugging."
