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.

Shhhhhh! Don't tell them!
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.
Excellllent!
U.S. citizens face extinction if they don't start having enough babies to keep up with Muslims, kidd the Freeper told FreeRepublic News.
Liberalism isn't hereditary.
Imagine there's no liberals,
It's easy if you try......
They've been being replace with the insane for a couple of decades now.

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.
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.
Nice answer, Kellyanne! :-)
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."
