GOP EDGE? MORE BABIES ON THE WAY

The GOP is demographically doomed unless it can win more of the Latino vote. That’s what this de facto amnesty is supposed to accomplish.

BUNK

As we have pointed out before, this approach backfired the last time it was tried, in 1986. It’s Democrats who face demographic extinction, due to the “fertility gap.”

In terms of fertility, “the GOP has a lead over the Democrats among white women and among younger women at all levels of income and education,” according to political scientist Eric Kaufman. And this “Republican fertility advantage,” he says, is growing.

Behind the Democrats’ “baby bust” is liberalism. As RedState.com reported, Arthur C. Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, observed, “according to the 2004 General Social Survey, if you picked 100 unrelated politically liberal adults at random, you would find that they had, between them, 147 children.

“If you picked 100 conservatives, you would find 208 kids. That’s a ‘fertility gap’ of 41 percent.”

“The growing Republican fertility advantage largely derives from religion,” according to Kaufman. In his 2010 book, “Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century,” Kaufman argues, “across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will begin to tip the balance in the culture wars toward the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be anti-abortion.”.........

That and the dude is smart as hell. They don't like that either.

You sure about this conclusion? California & Texas have very similar demos, but one is a blue state and one is red. The difference: Texas whites voted 73% for Romney while only 50% of Cali ones did. The author here seems to suggest that current demo projections will help mitigate the declining raw numbers.


The issue going forward is how the GOP can win Hispanic voters, or get close to a split with them. I don't know if that is possible or not. I am pretty sure that an amnesty isn't going to be the cure-all.

When I got out of college (age 21 no less) I got my own place I split with several friends, a few who already had graduated. No mommy or daddy for me. I paid my own bills. And I loved every second of my freedom, even if I had to work with adults and show up at 8am for a sorta mean boss.


It's just so disgusting watching these wide-eyed idiots reduced to tears watching Obama speak, and then seeing them ride their bikes back home where their doting parents (and in many cases grandparents) still house them. I call them Generation Pussy.

This post is hilarious.

Hey, I think it's funny too that milennials are broke, jobless and have no future. It doesn't really hamper my lifestyle much at all either way. If they're happy with their room at home, hanging out with mom on Friday nights, having a smart phone and their President Obama making them cry with speeches, more power too em.

Libertarian, defined as the opposition to authoritarian... then yes. One can be left or right on economic policies and be libertarian.

I think more than half of the voters are of the 'live and let live' variety. I don't think many of the people in office are though. The parties themselves are waaay on the wrong side of this spectrum for my liking.

Where's the generation break on these milennials you speak of?

I don't keep track of generalizations.

That just means you are a terrible person. Taking pleasure in someone else's perceived misery is awful behavior.

Why? They celebrated on Election Tuesday. I'm celebrating the rest of the Tuesdays. When they grow up and find principles, they'll do better.

There's also an argument I heard before, Democratic programs can make more Republicans if the people become successful. That can happen too.

Latinos may like the welfare state more BUT they're also socially conservative—pro-family.
Remember, a lot of them are Catholics.

JFC you're pretty ****ing stupid.
