Let me clear up the matter.
My socialism charge is directed against those calling for government to breed and raise the children, similar to various totalitarian systems.
My “crack pot” charge is directed against those who reduce children to “demographic weapons”. “Fight illegal immigration (or advance any other racial/political cause) by breeding kids” is an horribly un-Christian idea. Children are individuals, born and raised by individuals. They are not collectivist numbers.
As I said I am FOR having kids and it’s great for families to have many kids. I have myself 3 children.
But the point is that this should be encouraged by scaling back government interference, the welfare state and by letting the appeal of Judeo-Christianity have it’s effect on people.
When living in an traditional, caring community with strong values, couples will have children, which they will raise to be good individuals, and thereby preserving their kind.
I hope you get my position.
Sure I get your point. But your final point is precisely not what was being debated in the article. In fact, as I said, your final point is the same position I hold and I take it this fellow Tristan Emmanuel holds to as well; so, why the smarmy posts? I mean you raised issues that his article never even discussed -- like (socialism and state directed solutions). It was simply a short opinion piece about the need to have more kids given that your children and mine will have to face a world in which they will be the minority. It is up to us right now to determine what kind of minority they will be -- a small insignificant minority or a relatively large one that cannot easily be pushed around. T And frankly the pathetic ad hominims on this post makes me think that far too many "conservatives" have got the heads so far up their... that its our children that will suffer for our stupidity. Sorry about that rant. Demographics might not be everything but we cannot disregard it either.
