The Left’s Anti-Reproductive Bigotry

Pundette links to Lisa Miller in the WaPoo making a typical post-Modern, anti-conservative play:

There’s nothing wrong with big families, of course. But the smug fecundity of the Republican field this primary season has me worried.

Thou bimbo: if there is nothing wrong, why the worry? Because you’re making a cheap anxiety play, that’s why. Are there any on the Left with large families? Hm, never heard of any. The source of this anxiety causing the lashing out at conservatives? One strong possibility, from Wikipedia:

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Miller was raised in a secular Jewish home. She attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, graduating in English in 1984. She worked at the Harvard Business Review, The New Yorker, and The Wall Street Journal.
Miller was married to her husband in an interfaith ceremony performed by an Episcopalian priest who worked with a rabbi on the ceremony. After the birth of her daughter, Miller joined a Jewish Temple for reasons of “blood and history and culture”. She describes this religious community as a “progressive, inclusive congregation.”

Mrs. Miller, it’s your prerogative to have from zero to a trove of children that would trump Michele Bachmann’s 23 (via fostering). Knock yourself out.

But don’t neglect the math. If everyone lacked as much as you and I, there would be no human race. I realize I’m countering your wimpy, Progressive, non-sensical, emotional point with logic. Forgive me. I shan’t chop off my skull any more than the rest of my anatomy. But the overpopulation myth is right up there with global warming in the litany of Lefty loser ideas.

Maybe we the Suicidal Tendencies could record a special variation of their nihilist classic for you: “I Saw Your Culture And Your Culture’s Dead”.

And yes, I pray for more increase. Would that I had understood how deeply false the Progressives are ten years ago. Children are a blessing, and it takes a peculiar form of idiocy to arrive at the conclusion that we want less blessing from God, assuming that we are not bringing children into abject starvation, e.g. Ethiopia. Yes, common sense would dictate that, if you live in a tapped out area, you go to where there is some food before having a family.

But that is not the problem in these United States. Here, the problem is at the other end, where Progressives have formed what is tantamount to a suicide pact and are busy pushing their anti-reproductive bigotry in all directions. Miller is probably too small of a target to have shown up on Andrew Breitbart’s radar. He, a father of four, would have pointed at Miller and laughed, I daresay.

Read more at Pundit & Pundette. Also, note Sheppard, who may be a little too much here. When turning a large vessel, you have to take care just how much rudder you lay on. While generally pro-Santorum, what really matters is the continuous applied will of the people. 5 degrees of right rudder held is better than a shot of 15 degrees, and then back to the 2 degrees of left rudder we’ve had for the last century.

    I think their point is the rubes stopped breeding, apartments in the best cities would be ever soooo much less expensive!

    There are far more than five of Mother Pelosi’s progeny, the entire village of occupy whatever idiots seem to have been suckled at her breast…

    Solution to poverty –no more poor people –no next generation via abortion/birth control.
    Solution to decays of old age –no more old people –assisted suicide.
    Solution to pollution: no more cars and fuel so expensive people can’t use it.  We’ll have a cold still barren world and it will be perfect.

    You say that like its a bad thing. If abortion ever is outlawed I’m going to make a killing selling rusty bicycle spokes to pregnant leftist women.

    Sorry, I meant to link the post entitled “Facts From Which They Wish to Distract.” I guess I am just too excited that a major blog like this one is taking up the fight!

    Amen, Brother Smitty. I’ve got three young future  conservatives currently in the  house with plans for a fourth.  Let the left breed themselves into extinction. . .

    She has 5 children and 8 grandchildren from them. I’ve always wanted to hear what exactly constitutes a “family values” discussion under the Pelosi roof.

    How about the Society of Smug Fecundants? Our host can be the president. We can wear buttons and stuff. Of course, we will never achieve the smug of Prius owners.
