Speaking of America, China is now entering the \u201chow were we supposed to know?\u201d phase of its One Child Policy <\/a>while American birth rates are at an all time low<\/a>.\u00a0 The Chinese appear to be figuring out that their policies are a disaster.\u00a0 Americans, being evidently stupider than the Chinese, are responding to plummeting birth rates by clamoring for free contraceptive candy and roughly half of them think that the solution to their problem is demographic winter, consequence-free sex, and the systematic destruction of the largest system of low-cost charitable work on planet earth, the Catholic social service network.\u00a0 The Chinese had almost no Christian culture to destroy when they began their monstrous journey into Commie despotism.\u00a0 How much more epic stupid do Americans have to be to take the blessings of a Christian legacy of works of mercy and dynamite it for the sake of Sandra Fluke being able to get her thang on for $10 a month less?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
