A baby boom among conservatives could push the nation's politics further right in the coming decades, especially since liberals aren't having as many children, according to a new study of online dating habits of conservatives and liberals.
The study featured in a Harvard University Shorenstein Center review of recent surveys released Tuesday on how political polarization of the nation is impacting Washington's budget talks is the first to challenge left-leaning pundits who have claimed that as the white population shrinks, the GOP will become marginalized.
Instead, the study in the authoritative journal Political Behavior, conducted by scholars from Brown and Penn State University, suggested that liberals could be the endangered species in the coming decades as conservatives, typically white, have more children than liberals. And those children, this study and others show, commonly follow the politics of their parents.
Deep in the study, “The Dating Preferences of Liberals and Conservatives,” the authors cite indications that conservative families are having more children than liberals and that could change the political tilt of the nation, according to their simulations. And, they added, it could happen faster than their tests show.....

An interesting side effect is that the future of the left is going to be "Idiocracy", while the children of the right will be "the elite."
I do suspect however that a number of conservative born children will betray their parents and see the opportunity to lead the masses of idiots through demagoguery.
It is why the ultra liberal, propaganda artist, Tom Brokaw, created it.
My daughter graduated from a very conservative college and almost all of her friends are having an average of three children and one is having her sixth.
Those will will grow up being propagandized by the MSM and public schools and college until they are leftists.
Didn’t you mean 1964 with lbj?
Lets hope they get no influence form the weakest generation the nation has yet produced- Baby Boomers.
Only if America jobs return.
For real. American jobs.
Now.
Fracking.
Read the article, it’s not about us in the “baby boom” generation (1945-1964) but about a new baby boom among conservatives.
More than that.
America has exported a huge amount of jobs which used to be done by AMERICAN REPUBLICANS as well as democrats.
The problem with this is, when US jobs go overseas, then everyone becomes a democrat, and broke.
We need to stop sending US jobs overseas, and bring them home.
Fracking is a good thing. But there are millions of US jobs which are being outsourced to foreigners, not one of which votes Republican.
Bring back US jobs.
A bunch of them.
Now.
If we bring back US jobs, we bring back Republicans.
Yup. I’ve been aware of that and as a boomer myself apologize to my two sons about it since Bill Clinton. The cretins running this country are the same a$$ holes that spit on me as I transited SFO on the way home on leave in 1972.
The other danger than just the illegals’ voting power is the that passing amnesty will be just another green flag for millions more to invade our country. Then, there would be the danger of Dream Acting them into our military to serve along with the red state hating feminists and homos that were recently been given a red carpet welcome.
Really? Obama gets 66% of a military avoiding generation’s vote and you want to say that is better than the generation that voted for Nixon and produced almost 9.5 million veterans?

“It’s still the land of the free...lunch.”
Only for a few, and only for the time the slaves choose to work.
hence the reason for Common Core
“Common Core” Is still essentially voluntary, its up to use to see to it that our state legislators assert themselves, in defining what is taught on the public dollar.
I did my part...5 spawnies
I have heard this for years. Children go to school. Then there is peer pressure. It doesn’t work.
