Let me add this on the pro-life issue: I have been pro-life my entire adult life. However, in light of our cultural realities you describe, Rod, I am now firmly pro-choice.

Let me add this on the pro-life issue: I have been pro-life my entire adult life. However, in light of our cultural realities you describe, Rod, I am now firmly pro-choice. I fully support the right of Leftists to kill their babies. If they want to destroy the next generation of Leftists in the womb, be my guest. If a generation from now there are fewer Leftists to oppose then great! Perhaps if pro-lifers over-produce and thus overcome the Left demographically, then that's a good thing. And if not, it's still a sensible approach. As the old adage in politics goes, if you see your opponent digging a hole for himself don't stop him. Same on the life issue. If God abandons people to their depravity (see Romans 1) I'm happy to do the same. I have no obligation to stop them from destroying their lives. As for me and my house and millions of others, we will chose life for ourselves. Others can choose death and live, and die, by the consequences.
I wonder if it is true that conservatives give birth to conservatives and liberals give birth to liberals. I don't think it is true, but I would love to see empirical data on that. I definitely know a lot of conservatives who came from liberal families, and vice versa.
Children more often than not vote as their parents do, especially if they have good relationships with their parents. My wife, however, is an oddity in her family, a Republican.
When those aborted babies are more likely to be among your friends and family that is harder to take. People bring sin upon themselves it is on them but it is still sad.
Conservatives need to fight harder against perversion in schools, because there are far too many conservatives who still use public schools. Conservatives go to all the trouble to raise children and liberals try to steal them away.
I have even wondered if an end to compulsory schooling will end up being the right political move for defending children from perversion. I'm educated and I believe in Christian education, but I keep coming back to that point.

The future belongs to those who show up.
I have no problem with political realism.

I used to be a staunch supporter of public education, I had a VERY good one, however, well, there’s a reason we put our child in private school.
