"...liberalism is literally a death culture."

Truer words were never spoken. Yet, this uniquely western "Culture of Death" philosophical movement, underway for well over five hundred years, continues unabated on its trajectory of death and destruction, with the complicity and participation of the greater majority of westerners themselves. From the rise of secular humanism, to the grief-stricken tragedies of their bloody revolutions and wars, to the creation of the freedom-robbing and slavery-inducing welfare and communist states, to the ultimate end of suicidal self-immolation reflected in the self-loathing negative birth rates of the western nations.

The sweep of western European history, that is, the utter collapse of a once-Christian civilization in its descent to barbarism and its surrender to Moslem dhimmitude, proves beyond the shadow of doubt that the Catholic tradition of Original Sin, the Fall of Man, Christ's Redemption, and the approach of Armageddon is surely true to any but the willfully blind among us (and therefore eternally damned).

I am of the opinion that a falling birth rate and the decline of religion with the rise of secularism are connected. Once one begins to concentrate of self and sensual fulfillment the less one concentrates on moral values, discipline, and longterm outcomes. Children take away from the assets available for self-gratification and are postponed or negated altogether. It would be interesting to know how many of the first children in today's society were conceived prior to marriage, even though marriage is less of a requirement now.

The Bible is not just about morals and salvation, there is a lot of wisdom for everyday living there also.

"The wobbling blancmange that is Paul Martin may not be up to the task, but the resistance of a big chunk of Liberal voters to gay marriage suggests the party’s grassroots may start to sober up long before the leadership. "

"Wobbling blancmange" - there's a metaphor that leaves a mark.

As far as the EU demographics, I gather they're unknown or hidden. I do know that EU is LOSING population, except for Muslim immigrants.

At some point, I expect a fascist back lash and a reprise of the Holocaust, this time with Muslims as the target and a new Hitler leading the way.

Oddly, that is a WORSE scenario than the one Mark posits.

Time will tell.
