Seriously, you're only proving me right about the far left.

The idea that the lower orders are breeding too quickly and ruining the race is very common... Idiocracy, anyone?

Uh, for the record I'm pro-life, so your argument doesn't even make any sense.

Who is "they". I have not heard a word from T-Party folk about eliminating the "lesser breeds". What I have heard is cutting out a lot of government fraud and waste.

How does being pro-life conflict with any understanding of racial dilution?

Race is nonsense. All that matters is culture.

Whatever it shouldn't conflict with understanding either.

Talking about xenon13's accusation that people like me argue for eugenics which for the record I routinely argue against abortion on the basis it could lead to eugenics.

In a recent speech to a tea party group in the state, House Speaker William O'Brien described college voters as "foolish." "Voting as a liberal.

Easy. If you young folks just learned to vote right, maybe we adults wouldn't have to be discussing taking away your voting privileges. You haven't had the life experience to appreciate the hard work it takes to earn a dollar, so you'll just vote other people's money away as taxes to finance your extravagant projects like greenbelts around campus, grants and low-interest student loans, and hippie-dippy feel-good crap that we real Americans don't give a crap about! If you young'uns respected your elders by voting conservative, we'd be willing to let you sit at the adult table.

Why bother having elections at all then? Why not have a Dictatorship of the Conservativariat? That's really what they're driving at.

I hear this all the time. Welfare mothers are deliberately having genetically-defective babies because the State pays for it and the Successful (TM) are having fewer kids because it's not profitable so we'll soon be swamped with mental defectives.

Again like many Conservatives I am flat out against abortion, so the argument you're making actually comes from the left not the right.

This is not about abortion, it's about this claim that the incentives of society are such that it's profitable for the poor to have children but not for wealthier people. Thus the new generations will have more mental defectives in it and this will lead to Idiocracy.

You do realize that doesn't make any sense considering the majority of the wealthy in the United States are 1st Generation.

Yes. They are the Brightest and the Best and they will be discouraged from having children. Mean while the Dullest and the Worst breed like bunnies.
