Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations (i.e. The Baby Boomers) are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
I noticed one of the mothers is a homeschooling mother.
I've been pointing this out on the board for a while.
Homeschoolers value children and the family. We are having large families, and we are raising them conservative. The dems have made themselves so hostile to homeschooling they have more than lost that graphic.
It's barely a blip on the nation's demographic radar -- 11 percent of U.S. births in 2004 were to women who already had three children, up from 10 percent in 1995.
The obvious reason for the increase is that the hordes from south of the border as dropping anchor babies as fast as they can.
My cousin (about 5 years older) has 6 children. (All very nice mannerly kids too. Amazing especially considering their grandma is a real psycho !$#@@#$ who was divorced, and my cousin's twin brother died in a house fire as a 4yo on my own grandma's birthday. Maybe B's trying to make up for the loss of his exact likeness in such a tragic way.)
We just had our third. We like to think of her as our middle child :)
Of course, I'd also add my cousin B is the exception and not the rule, either for my family or the whole pop. The rest of the cousins are hardly even married!
All the liberal 30-something childless singletons I work with discuss Laura Bennett frequently.
She has five kids with a sixth on the way, she's a stay at home mom who works from home in the fashion industry, she lives in Manhattan and when she's not pregnant she is quite slim and trim.
She's always dressed to the nines and looks younger than 42.
She destroys the culture of death stereotype that a mom of six is a benighted, cultureless drone grown obese and old before her time with no chance of having her own life and interests.
She's a breath of fresh air and I hope she starts a trend.
You betcha! That, and Muslims......This story is a fluke. While there are probably more conservative families having children than liberals, they are but a blip on the radar compared to illegals and Muslims....
Nice racist talking points, but not pertinent ones.
if not for legalized abortion and contraception, this would be the norm.
Those who breed lead.
Indeed.
This article really is good news! Imagine, children who grow up in big, loving families with two parents. They learn to negotiate, share, not be greedy and selfish, and value each other. They're the PERFECT antidote to all those welfare spawners, and we need more of them!
My husband and I only wanted two children (we have one of each with our son born first), but my SIL has five and my youngest sister and her husband had their first last March.
Honestly, this shouldn't even be a religious or conservative v. liberal issue. Normal families with moms and dads are the ultimate prize and reward for kids, adults, and society.
The future belongs to those who bother to procreate ...
In a culture where sex is viewed solely as a form of recreation instead of procreation, survival is iffy at best.
Yeah, that World Power Zimbabwe is a great example...
