#1 Btw, this is old op piece, I should have noted that, but it is still quite relevant.

#2 Interesting post, 5089.

"For his part, Buchanan hopes that the demographic crisis will inspire Europeans and Americans to return to the Holy Mother Church -- and no birth control or abortion..."

No birth control and no abortion? That means all pregnancies are carried to term. That means only sex with procreative intent is ok. Economically and socially, that means LIVING THE LIFE of long-term, monogamous commitment-not a single cheat allowed. That's a laudable goal. I love the vision. But anyone-look at your friends and family-got a few not marching to that drum? It's the ideal-but humans are failing all around us. Just this week, we hear about the record high rate of births to unmarried mothers.

East and West, the two sexes are living by two different standards-we never hear a word about the wrongness of shoot and run partners, just impregnated, dishonorable maidens.

"...sometimes art doesn't imitate life; it anticipates life."

I love that, 5089.

#4 Even with a higher Catholic birthrate what good is higher demograpics if a few "neo-cons," (read Jews) control the Universe: two guys Perle and Wolfowitz, as Pat Buchenwald has run up the flagpole. What could his remedy be? As for Paglia what will become of those lesbian rollarounds with her students as Sharia law is implemented.

#5 "More Doom & Gloom, a chilling and provocative vision out of the writings of a christian conservative and a libertarian lesbian. Weird. By the way, on a similar theme, I'd recommand "The West's Last Chance", by Blankley."

*******

It is not the first time the gay-bashing Patrick Buchanan has aligned himself with an openly gay person.

#6 Bardo: "...those lesbian roll-arounds with her students". Har! What a hoot! Camille can be a likable phd-yke at times, even to someone so far Right, that I can't see out of my left eye.

Thx, needed some levity this evening! LOL
